Finished A Feast for Crows. Not nearly as good as the first 3 books. Not a fan of the new point of views since the series already had a bit too many POVs to keep track of. Still a very good series though, and have the 4th book preordered on Kindle already--as much as I hate paying $14.99 for an e-book.

Started up:



A little skeptical as I thought the movie looked terrible. But the book came highly recommended by a couple of friends who assure it's not a sappy romance etc. Plus it was on $4.17. Read the prologue and first two chapters, and I'm enjoying it so far.

I read that, very very good. Not a romance at all really.

Yeah, I might have to spring for George's book on Kindle. Otherwise I'd have to wait a while to read it, I probably won't get a hardcover. Would rather read a library copy or something.

Kinda pissed they changed the paperback designs again. They put out a nice matching set, then change it again. ::rolls eyes::

Just started Fight Club.

finished another Lou Archer novel by Ross MacDonald.

Started and finished Sourcery by Terry Pratchet in one slow night at work.

Is the kindle worth it?

I have been playing with the idea for some time and the price feels right but I need functionally sound newpaper support. How does it handle newspaper subscription services?

I love my Kindle for reading novels. I've not tried the newspaper stuff though--I read those on my iPad.

People say the Kindle is fine for Newspapers as long as you don't mind a simple format--i.e. list of headline links to scroll through and click on to go to the story, no color photos etc.

Finished Water for Elephants. It was actually pretty damn good.

Haven't decided what to read next yet.

I forget if I posted but I finished Dead Space Martyr. I consider myself fairly well read on the series fiction but most of the book covers lots of interesting bits of the lead up to the disaster. It also characterizes the insanity of people really well as it switches between viewpoints. Highly recommended if you have any remote interest in the Dead Space saga.

Finished: Cosmo by Carl Sagan

Starting: Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christopher Columbus by James Loewen

Started reading this last night. First book of his that I've read. I'd pick up more in this universe. Seems like standard military sci-fi so far though. (Which I usually don't care for. Weber, Ringo, Stirling, et al)

Now I'm reading Game of Thrones.

Finally finished A Wise Man's Fear. Just as compelling and beautifully written as the Name of the Wind but it left me with more questions than answers. IMO there is too much story left to be told to fit in one last book.

Been busy but I am currently reading The Arabian Nights.

Repo Men by Eric Garcia

I'm also finishing up the first book of Y: The Last Man.

Just started it last night. Never read anything by Haruki Murakami before but I've been told multiple times that I need to so here I go.

Water For Elephants is better than I thought it would be. I've got about 80 pages left to go. After that I'm looking at some Christopher Moore stuff to make me giggle like an idiot while secretly reading at work.
