My hit list, next uo is Monukai.
But for real, I'm reading Thirteen Days In September by Lawrence Wright.

I just decided that it's finally time to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire, by now I'm about halfway through the first book. I really enjoy it, even though it's a lot closer to the show than I would have thought. For someone like me, who watched the show before reading the books, it seems like a moe detailed retelling of the show, which actually is pretty interesting. But most of all, I'm looking forward to the point where book and show start to go into different directions.

I'm currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Before this, I had read Doyle's renowned Sherlock Holmes books, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens as well as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings series and Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Middlemarch by George Elliot. I've been reading it for 18 months. Good book but lack of spare time :(

An unpublished trilogy that (2/3 of it, actually) plain sucks. Three girls each wrote a romance (more like bad pornography, but fine) novel and I'm reading them as a favor to the publisher and have to give a recommendation wether or not to publish it.
The first book almost gave me a brain tumor (oh the grammar, no sense or love of interpunction, BAAAD writing), the second one is actually fun ( I laughed out loud a couple of times) and the third one is as bad as the first one...
I'm gonna need a lot of good reading material to scrub my mind of this crap xD

Just finished R. A. Salvatore's Rise of the King (Book 2 of the Companion series). I don't really know if I liked it or not. Somehow the story starts to feel too familiar and I think that almost all of the things have happened couple of times before... not exactly the same way but well... And Drizzt is still too emotional and rants about everything between chapters. Somehow I would like to kill him again like I did in Baldur's Gate II :D
Next on the line will be XCOM 2: Resurrection by Greg Keyes. Originally it had quite okeish reviews but now (at least) Amazon has been flooded by 2 star reviews. I don't expect much but hopefully the book will be readable! If it is really bad, and I can't read it to the end, I hope that Hugh Howey's Silo trilogy will save me.

Tricknomancy by Michael A. Stackpole
It's not great, it has some interesting ideas but the execution could be better...

there are constantly threads for music, movies, and games, but so little love for the written word!
I'm currently reading Uprooted by Naomi Novak. I thoroughly enjoy her Temeraire series and I highly recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in historical fiction (even if you don't it's worth looking into).
update: Now reading "Blood and Iron" by a local author
