Started reading Betrayal by John Lescroart but struggling to continue reading it. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and have not picked it up in over a week...

I picked up Deception Point last night. I'll probably start it over the weekend. Enjoyed all four of his books that I read. Interested to see the movie Angels and Demons as well.

Just finished Black Ops by WEB Griffin. His books are always a good read no matter which series. I can't read anything of his except The Corps series. I'm sad he seems to have quit writing that one.

Currently reading "Game of Thrones" by GRR Martin. It's a good read. Somewhat dark, but definitely hard to put down.

i'm listening to Double Bind.... i'm too distracted by the author's over-use of the words "moreover" and "nevertheless" to know if it's good. it's certainly over-long. and the narrator's voice is irritating.

I'm reading Lord of the Ring (I think it's about AG) I heard it was a loose interpretation... couldn't quite fill the gap.

I just finished Jim Butcher's "White Night" - which was excellent - How did you like the bit about sending the Billy Goat Gruff off to get a doughnut? I laughed out loud..... Well, turns out there was a reason I didn't remember this part of White Night....it's part of Small Favor!  But yes, I laughed out loud. Especially when the Gruff said something about, "Prithee, wouldst thou like jelly inside thy doughnut?"  *snort* Hey - you never answered my question about his other fantasy series. Have you read any of them?

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
|
Well, this weekend my daughter had band practice and while I was waiting one of her friends handed me all of her stuff to hold during practice. Part of that stuff was "Twilight" - so I just started reading to pass the time. We went straight to Wal-mart after practice so I could get the book - actually got the first two. Finished "Twilight" around 2 am Sunday Morning and am halfway thru "New Moon". I was determined not to get hooked on this book but apparently it was not to be.

My wife recently finished all of them (four I think) in about 5-6 days.... Now is dying for the movie to be released on DVD.. Apparently there's another book coming out soon as well that she's drooling for hehe..

Finished "New Moon" around 1 AM this morning - am terribly sleep deprived! Walmart didn't have the other 2 books so I'm going to order them from B&N. I should get caught up on my sleep by the time they arrive!

i'm just starting (sort of) the "in death" series. i'm at book three.
then i might read book three of the twilight. (i was a little vampired-out after the first 2).
i just finished "The Gargoyle" by andrew davidson (i think). fantastic. definitely one i will re-read. definitely on my favorites list.
