    I am working on a few books right now:
    a few chapters left of LOTR The Two Towers then I'll start the Return of the King & finish with the Similarion (read the Hobbit & trilogy in jr high...never read the Similarion before)
    Chapter 2: Nutjob: A Squirrel's Dozen Secret Tips To Productivity by Micah Moss
    1/2 way through The Life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France by Charles Duke Yonge
    1/3 way through Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
    3/4 done The Canterbury Tales, and Other Poems by Chaucer (read excerpts in HS)
    I have another one sitting around a new book about Joan of Arc...a few chapters in on that one...
    These will be done before the week is done & 5 or more new books started
    I have War & Peace on my list of to read along with many others...I actually have a list of books to read as part of my "bucket list"
    Your book list and your profile pic...wow.

    I'm reading the Pathfinder source book, because I need some money on my discover card to buy more books.

    Reading three right now...

    Molly Fyde and The Fight for Peace - Hugh Howey
    The Quick Red Fox - John D. MacDonald
    Outlander - Diana Gabaldon

    I just finished the Molly Fyde series as well. I read Wool by Hugh Howey and it was so good I was compelled to read everything he had written.

    I am now reading First Confessor by Terry Goodkind. I am not loving it at the moment.

    I would rather poke my eyes out with a blunt stick than read the Fifty Shades of Tripe series.

    Have you read the other books in the series by Terry Goodkind? You really should :D They're great!!

    I read all about the adventures of Richard and Kahlan! Only fantasy type series I've ever been able to get my Mom to also read.

    I'm reading Forbidden by Tabatha Suzuma. It's about incest between brother and sister. It's different, and i'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but it had great reviews.
  • How did you like it? I loved the 50 shades trilogy.

    I'm reading :The Bourne Legacy".
    I'm on page 325 and in spite of all the action, I've found it boring, predictable and I can't bring myself to "care" about any for the characters. I also never find torture entertaining. Yes, I suppose it's very realistic, but I could easily do without the detailed descriptions.:grumble:
    I'll probably finish this book, but I can see the end a mile away.

    Yes I have read all other Terry Goodkind books which is why I was looking forward to the First Confessor. Unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for the grinding misery so have abandonded it for the time being. I have moved on to the oh-so-much-cheerier World War Z by Max Brooks.

    I'm about to start the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series.

    I just finished the latest one and I can't wait for him to release book 6. Enjoy! I know I did :)

    I have all of the series...I absolutely love this series but I am frustrated w/the series on HBO. Too many changes IMO.

    Just finished book three of the "Fifty Shades" trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed, and now looking for other like the trilogy, any suggestions??

    The Game of Thrones series is excellent. Waiting on book six myself.

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I've read it before and I've made it through the first 4 books, but I got stuck on #5. I decided it had been too long, so I'm starting the series over again. I can't complain... the first 4 books were wonderful and I can't wait to catch up again and continue through book 5.

    I'm stuck on The Fiery Cross, just can't get in to it for some reason. They are excellent stories! I loaned the first 3 out to a friend and I have not seen them since, lol.
