Reading The Way of Kings: The Stormlight Archive at the moment, enjoying it quite a bit actually.

Finished reading this, part one and two, very enjoyable and great characters. Shame I'll have to wait till 2013 for the book 2.

Just ordered The Mistborn trilogy box set as I enjoy Sandersons stuff.

Currently reading "The 7 laws of magical thinking" by Matthew Hutson, very interesting and very well written

Franky Boyle - My **** Life so far

Really great book if you like his stuff.

A Study In Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Reading the Painted Man books by Peter Brett. Really good so far, just a shame it's 2/5 in the series so a while to wait before I can finish them.

Just started the Glen Cook Black Company books, and after reading Patrick Rothfuss, I'm just

Maybe it's just the kindle edition but they are appallingly badly written.

I've just read the first two Hunger Games books back to back - they were very good.

I'm grinding my way through Game of Thrones at the moment. It's good but it's heavy going.

They are surprisingly good.

The third book I didn't enjoy as much as it didn't go where I wanted it to go. But it was still a good read.

I'm just finishing off Star Trek : Typhon Pact - Raise the Dawn, which along with the previous book Star Trek : Typhon Pact - Plagues of Night has been an absolutely epic read! The whole Post-Destiny ST universe is just so damn good.

I struggled through the 1st book, then gave up at chapter20 on the 2nd, I just didn't like his writing style at all.

Finished the second book of the Traitor Spy trilogy, The Rogue. Just waiting for Canavan to finish the third book now!

Finished clash of kings lastnight and i loved it. I got the next book on the way, cant wait to get stuck in.

Mindscan by Robert Sawyer.

A real surprise, I haven't been this glued to a book so quickly for a while.

The third is the best of the series by a mile. You will not be disappointed

The first two could be a bit ponderous at times I found, but A Storm of Swords cranks everything up to eleven

Catch 22. It's good.

My favourite book of all time, and the only one that I have ever re-read straight after finishing it

Just me that found the main character in the Hunger Games to be a bit of a whiny female dog?

She's a teenage girl and the book is written from her perspective. Welcome to reality.

The Hobbit, haven't read it in a long time and wanted to bring myself up to date in time for the film this fall.

Damnations Fury · 26 Jul 2012 at 08:36

Deadhouse Gates - Steven Erikson. For fantasy, the pacing is brilliant. Quick but not Feist quick.

Awesome, awesome book! I didn't like the 2nd so much, but still a good read. The 3rd book will be amazing.

Just finished "Wiseman's fear" by Patrick Rothfuss. It's part 2 of 3 of a series. Really enjoyed it, both books were amazing. Would definitely recommend!
