Still reading Outlander, but needed a break, so I started HP and The Chamber of Secrets.

I'm about to start The Immortals, the final Edge Chronicles book. I've been reading these books since I was ten years old, and they've aged very well- they're just as good now as they were when I was a kid. In fact, this series actually got me into reading- I read before that, but it was only after encountering these books that reading became more than just something to do. So, I'm really excited to read this.

I'm now reading Terry Pratchett's Carpet People.

Just finished Going Postal. Let's see how good this is.

Nothing. I moved from Thailand to Vietnam a few weeks ago and all my stuff's still in Customs. I should be reading again this weekend, but until then either I write my own novel or edit somebody else's.

I'm reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I know her Twilight saga has been relentlessly savaged on this site and I'll never read the series, mostly because I'm nowhere near their target audience, but The Host is pretty readable. A good story and relatively few adverbs.

I'm reviewing The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published by Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry for Workman Publishing. I started it last night and it's the cat's meow.

I'll be hosting a giveaway for the book on my blog next month, stay tuned!

Philip Jenkins, Jesus Wars.

Andrew Bacevich, Washington Rules (so far, I've had my Kindle reading it to me in its funky computer voice).

Bart Ehrman, God's Problem.

Isabel Wikerson, The Warmth of Other Suns (queued up on the Kindle; it is some 700 pages, and I need to be ready to stick with it).

I'm dipping into several others on my Kindle. (Best thing since sliced bread, that Kindle.)

Queued up in print edition, Sinclair Lewis's Kingsblood Royal. (Library book, so can't dawdle too long.)

Finished The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and co-author Leonard Mlodinow yesterday. Probably should re-read much of that.

--Ken

It's good to be a writer sometimes. If we don't have a book to read it's just to write one.

Just finished "The fourth bear" by Jasper Fforde, which was a great laugh, and probably about to read "Waiting for the barbarians" by J.M. Coetzee, which I've been looking for for ages and finally found this morning.

I just finished the second Septimus Heap book and am going to start on the third.
And also the second book in the Araminya Spookie searies, the second Dresden Files book and the first Percy Jackson book are on my to-be-read list.

I'm actually (slowly) reading Dune by Frank Herbert right now. Mainly picked it because my Ethics professor wants us to write a term paper on the morals in the novel. It'll be interesting, to say the least.

The Unwanted by John Saul. But I am going to stop. The storyline is just like the rest of his books and the writing itself, grates my nerves.

Last night I finished reading the IKEA catalogue...oh, I mean The Girl Who Played with Fire.

Now I'm reading The Death of Donna Whalen by Michael Winter. It's a true-crime, non-fiction novel type of thing. But it's a library Express read, so I'd better get cracking!!

Sinclair Lewis's Kingsblood Royal (1947 novel). Sizzling, scathing, incendiary satire/social commentary. And still relevant.
