    I'm currently about half-way through The Book Thief. Great read!

    I just received the first 5 books of A Song of Ice and Fire, so I'm really anxious to start that! :)

    Ironweed by William Kennedy. It's a Pulitzer Prize winner (1984). I thought it would be a quick read, but it's quite heavy. He really has a way with words.

    I'm also reading the collected Grimm Fairytales. I hate it. A lot of the stories teach anti-morals. Like the princess and the toad is the worst story ever. In the story she rejects the toad and throws him against a wall and she's just a horrible brat and then he turns into a prince and they live happily ever after. There are weird redemptions and the good guys can be as awful as the bad ones.

    I couldn't get past chapter 6. I was so bored. And then I got dragged to the movie and that bored me, too.

    Just finished the Princess Sultana trilogy, which is a fascinating/horrifying look into how the women of Saudi Arabia live.

    I'm also in the middle of a book on the 1909 disappearance of the passenger steamship SS Waratah, called "In Search of the Waratah" by David Willers. It's a fictionalized account of what the author believes happened, but it's very engrossing.

    Next on my list is "Mortality" by Christopher Hitchens. That should be a light-hearted romp. ;)

    Just finished listening to Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid... Hilarious

    About to start the Dirk Gently series for a book club. Loved all the Hitchhiker to the Galaxy books - so hoping this will be just as funny.

    "The Blue Plate Special" by Kate Christensen. It is a sweet memoir of growing up in the 60's while obsessed with FOOD! You will love it and want more!

    Don't you lose your sense of story though? I mean Alloy of Law and Warbreaker use totally different types of magic - doesn't it take awhile to get back into it?

    I love the genre, but haven't read anything about Ilona Andrews. Is she awesome? For example, I totally love Kresley Cole because she is funny.

    Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich

    http://www.amazon.com/Pistol-The-Life-Pete-Maravich/dp/0743284984

    I'm not a big Sports book fan but I love true stories. This guy was an artist and the basketball court was his canvas. His scoring records in college have never been broken. Not by Michael Jordan, not by Lebron James. They never will be broken. His story is amazing what he went through, yet still made it to the Hall of Fame.
