2 books.... Finder by Greg Rucka
then a book on Prophecy from the Bible..
I find I can easily read 1 fiction book and another opinion/non-fiction book... 2 works of fiction at teh same time are too much IMO

I recently picked up Victor Hugo's Les Miserables again after a long hiatus from reading and jumped right back in where I left off. Still am not quite halfway through, but I'll be darned if that ain't a great book!

I'm reading "Slander" by Ann Coulter and "Bias" by Arthur Goldberg. Both books show how the media attempts to distort the truth.....except of course Fox News Channel which is Fair and Balanced.

Seeing as how it is now the summer and I've been chosen to direct my school's spring play next year, I'm currently reading a ton of plays to get ideas. (I'm taking suggestions, if anyone has them.) Today, I finished up Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee and have started 100 Lunches by Jack Sharkey and Leo W. Sears, which I'll have finished by day's end.
Over the course of the next week, I'll read Till Death Do Us Part by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore, Look Homeward, Angel by Ketti Frings, Claptrap by Ken Friedman, and seven full-length plays by Christopher Durang - The Idiots Karamazov, The Vietnamization of New Jersey, A History of the American Film, Beyond Therapy, Baby and the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo, and Laughing Wild.

I just finished reading "King Solomon's Mines," and I'm waiting for the next harry Potter novel to come out. I've really gotten hooked - I can see why it's so popular with so many readers.

It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember the Twins trilogy as being very good.
None of the Dragonlance books that appeared after it were much cop in my opinion.

Really? Thanks. Honestly I havent been a big fan of the Chronicles Trilogy. But I really want to read the Twins so I started back at the beginning to remember what all happened in the first series before I jump into the sequel. Cause come on..Raistlin kicked ass. He's the best character Dragonlance has got.

Heinlein is My Favorite Author.
HAVE SPACESUIT, WILL TRAVEL is My favorite book of all time.
He was a prolific writer.
I've read over 2 dozen of his books.
I re read HAVE SPACESUIT, WILL TRAVEL once every few years, as I am now.
I also like History and Science books, too.
Two of my passions in life.
Astronomy, ancient history, chemistry, Physics,... all good.

Here's some I can recommend:
Weasel's Luck and Galen Beknighted, also Stormblade. But for god's sake, steer clear of those Forgotten Realms Harper series (urgh)!

Two books have been getting much of my attention lately.
One is Speeding Bullet, the George Reeves bio by Jan Alan Henderson. If you want to know just how royally screwed up the investigation of his death was, that book's a real eye-opener.
The other is In Search of Dracula by Raymond McNally and Radu Florescu. It's about how the exploits of Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula. And let me tell you something; after reading about the shit Vlad the Impaler pulled, I'm not the least bit surprised that Stoker wrote a story where Vlad got reincarnated as a vampire wreaking havoc on England. That guy was one sick bastard.
