    I have a few, I'm a huge reader and as a result I cycle through my books pretty quickly...

    as of today

    Shakespears Christmas (page 78)
    Clockwork Angel (page 201)
    Lick of Frost (page 332)
    Sense, Sensibility and Sea Monsters (page 94)
    Mistress of the Art of Death (page 145)

    I'll probably (and sadly) have all these done before the end of the week.

    Mistress of the Art of Death was an amazing book! The ending is....intense. Hope you like it as much as I did!

    Lately I've been re-reading old Alastair McLean books -- South by Java Head, River of Death, and now Athabasca. Some of the paperback copies I have used to belong to my grandfather, who died almost 25 years ago, so it's been a bit sentimental, :smile:

    Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kennyon

    May I say read anything from her with the Dark Hunter novels. Acheron's story will really get you in the story!!!

    Also, In May, Charlaine Harris will be releasing her 12th book (deadlocked) of the Sookie Stackhouse novels (true blood) I have been hooked on book 1 for YEARS. IF you like True Blood these are a MUST READ. To me they are a must read before the show.


    Also, I am reading For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison.

    Anything from KAtie McAsliter and Lysand Sands (Argeanu novels) will do you no harm as well.

    I have JUST finished the second book of the "Sookie Stackhouse" series (aka, True Blood books.)
    I'm hopelessly addicted.

    I am the same way, I keep adding free books to my Kindle, which I just got at christmas time, I have a lot piled up, but also have a stack of regular books that I had gotten before I got my Kindle. Good thing I am retired and have lots of time to read.

    Yet another book to learn yet another computer programming language (surprisingly good and entertaining) and a mix of tax and business books (I can't wait until tax season is over and I can begin my summer reading).

    War Commentaries - Julius Caesar

    I'm a big history buff though... definitely not light reading but very interesting nonetheless.

    I have a kindle too and am currently reading "The Stand" Stephen King, "A peoples history of the united states" Howard Zinn, "Catching Fire (2nd hunger games book)" Suzanne Collins, "Second Foundation" Isaac Asimov, "Direct Descent" Frank Herbert and I have a couple of audible books on there that I am listening to at times. I like the old paper backs but the kindle sure makes it convenient to read alot of books at once. I have a variety of other books that I am working on but these are the main ones that I am reading most. I have read "The Stand" several times.

    Because I read all day/every day for a living, I don't read anything I don't have to read!

    Sounds terrible, I know. But after four years of college, three years of law school, and now 13 years as a lawyer, reading is just a chore to me.

    I do read these forums pretty regularly, though, and a lot of news on the Internet. But that's because I can do it in small, easily digestible chunks.

    I love my kobo ereader. I read a lot and probably on book 20 already for 2012

    I have been working my way through Tess Gerritsen's books that the show Rizzoli and Isles is based on and just finishing The Keepsake. Not sure what is up next. I have a stack that I am planning to start, including the Walking Dead compendium, My sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult, and the Outlander series again - Diana Gabladon (read the first 4 and think I need to start over before reading the newer ones).

    I tend to read the same books over and over. I just finished Breaking Dawn (from Twilight - yes, hate on!) again last night. They are easy reads and help me unwind before going to bed way earlier than I would normally like to (I go to bed at 9... have to be up at 4:45 for work).

    I am also reading/about to start:

    Eat, Pray, Love (I was reading it steadily, but lost interest)
    Charm School by Nelson DeMille (recommended by my dad and a cousin)
    Suddenly Frugal

    We also just got the Harry Potter series on ebook via Pottermore, so I am sure I will read those again in the near future now that I have them on my iPad.

    I was reading Game of Thrones, but some guy decided to tell me what was going to happen, and it pissed me off, so I stopped reading them. I may pick it up again later. Would also like to read The Hunger Games.

    Oh and if you haven't read it, Wicked is a fantastic book! Not at all what I was expecting, after reading the plot line of the musical.

    I was reading a Jane Austen book (Sense and Sensibility).
    Now I'm reading a sci-fi (free) Kindle book Shadow of the Sun. It's alright.

    There are a bunch of my wish list, but I have several on my Kindle Fire waiting for me to finish. Good thing I'm going on vacation next week. :happy:
