I am currently reading that too, I'm at chapter 28 now.
I'm a slow reader, so I read between 5 and 10 chapters a day.
Understandable... takes time to be able to read it quick. I did in 4-5 hours or something around distractions but will again.
And yes... with millions of others. Still a book :P

reading Terry Pratchett's (and another co-author's) Good Omens. It's about the end of the world, but all comical and zany. Sorta reminds me of Dogma, in a way... I enjoyed the Discworld books more than this one, however, as this has too many characters that aren't really all that exciting to read about and, well, it's just not apocalyptical enough until the Saturday chapter...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
About to pick up Slaughterhouse Five and A Clockwork Orange, both supposed to be good reads.
I just started reading Tapestry of Dark Souls by Elaine Bergstrom this morning, I am already on the last few chapters. It has been amazing so far, now all I have to hope is that the last few chapters won't ruin a good book.
Rereading Jordan's Wheel of Time series.
He really needed to get a decent editor on board after book 3.
Good series.

Finishing up Terry Pratchett's Mort. It's pretty funny. I didn't really expect Rinsewind to make an appearance...
I'm up to about denouement now ... usually Terry ends them pretty happily, but Death seems pretty pissed... so I dunno.
I'm currently readin " for a few demons more" by kim Harrison.
read the shadow series, starting with ender's shadow. i like that series better than the ender series, not because ender's shadow is better than ender's game, which it's not, but because the rest of the shadow series is so much better than the rest of the ender series. i'd also recommend the homecoming saga, if you want to read something that's more fantasy-ish by Card.
Right now I am reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, it is the first time that I read a novel in the form of an oral biography. Definitely interesting, and definitely good.
Anyone read the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin? Books 1-3 were excellent, 4 not so much.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I just finished reading the "Watchmen" series the other day and finished reading the "Preacher" series a couple of weeks ago. Both greatly written comic books. I just wish I got around to reading them sooner.
I just finished Lotr for the 2nd time and I think I might try harry potter. Is it worth reading or just movie viewing?
There is a lot of information left out in the movies, though on most of them they did a good job I would still recommend reading the books also. Not like you got much to read, it is only 7 books.
I would also recommend the Enders Game series of books, or maybe even the Wheel of Time series.
Oh? why is this? What are they about?
They are series I really enjoyed reading and wouldn't mind reading again. Enders Game, Enders Shadow, Speaker for the Dead, and Xenocide were all great books. It is a more space series and deals with the interaction between two races that know very little about the other and what happened accordingly. A good read in my opinion.
I say the wheel of time series because I figured you were into the medieval type book and that is another good series to read.
Thanks Ill look into it!
Currently reading Taste of the Night by some lady who's name isn't that important.
I think I'm finally tired of reading sci-fi/fantasy books with female lead characters who get empowered and decide to go kick butt with nothing but their anger at the asshole males who raped, abused, or oppressed them and the guy who runs around behind them at their beck and call indulging their impulsiveness. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with these stories but after the 40th or 50th time it's started to get annoying.
I'm looking for something new, preferably a series, that's sci-fi and/or fantasy with either a tough male lead without women troubles or, even better, no single main character and an interesting and intircate plot that has little to no romantic relationship exposition. High magic or technology level is a plus. Note: Harry Potter will not be considered for personal reasons.
Some stuff I've already read and liked a lot: Dune (All books ), Ender (All books), LotR (most of the prequels), Halo (all books).
