Started reading A Game of Thrones. I was hesitant to buy it, but after watching the first episode of the show I decided I needed to read it first.

Also started Voltaire's Candide. I had to stop reading it becuae bursting out laughing in the middle of a mall isn't cool <_<

Man, I've finished so many books within the last two weeks.

Glamorama - Bret Easton Ellis
Lunar Park - Bret Easton Ellis

Currently working on:

The Thrawn Trilogy by Zahn is excellent!

Survivor's Quest and Outbound flight are also good ones by Zahn.

Don Quixote.

I struggled at first with the ye olde language, but I think I've caught on now. Mildly sad since Don Quixote is mildly insane, but I also laughed myself silly last night.

Watcha' think of it?

It was awesome. I wouldn't recommend if you're picky about content, but it was awesome.

So I'm trying to finally finish the Harry Potter series... which means starting with book three.

It is... and then I started noticing the excessive use of simile.

Oh man. XD

I have a friend who uses a lot of similes. He's like, annoying.

Oh, I've already read it.

But yeah, awesome. Definitely wanna' be careful who you recommend it to (mebbe not mom lol) but it's still awesome.

Currently I'm reading Ted Dekker's Red on my android Kindle App. But being in Aus I can't get all the The Lost Books for the kindle so I'm getting them from Audible. But yeah got the rest (Paradise novels as well and Green). Then I'm going onto The Books Of Mortals: Forbidden. Gonna break it up though. After White I'm gonna read the Guild Wars Books then go back.

Black was an awesome book, I am reading Red too, well more like was reading since I don't have the book any more.
Hopefully I will find it some where then finish it, then I will read White.

Did you read Green yet? I am not to sure what it's about,
I heard the series was better off with out it though, so I am not sure if I should read it after I read Red, and White.
