    Finishing up Lords of Swords ed. by Daniel E. Blackston, in the middle of The Five Fingers by Gayle Rivers and James Hudson, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, The Thousand and One Nights translated by Husain Haddawy, closer to the beginning of The Light That Failed by Rudyard Kipling and An Opening Act of Unspeakable Evil by Jim Munroe.

    Nonfiction, I'm almost done How We Got Here: A Slightly Irreverent History of Technology & Markets by Andy Kessler and Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud, in the middle of Native Realm: A Search for Self-Definition by Czesław Miłosz and Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty by Muhammad Yunus with Alan Jolis, just getting into Time, the Familiar Stranger by J. T. Fraser, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan, Kwangju Diary: Beyond Death, Beyond the Darkness of the Age by Lee Jai-eui and A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam by Karen Armstrong.

    Poetry, I'm working through The Kalevala, Ondra Lysohorsky's Selected Poems, Wisława Szymborska's View with a Grain of Sand and Derek Walcott's The Prodigal.

    I just read the eight collections of Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso's 100 Bullets and am about to read the final three collections of Ed Brubaker & Sean Philips' Sleeper.

    And that about covers what I'm reading now.

    Star Wars: The Joiner King.

    Haven't decided if I'm going to start the vampire novel, The Historian afterwards or if I'm going to wait for Dark Nest 2.

    I finished Eon and have moved on to its sequel Eternity. There is a third good, a sort of prequel, called Lecagy, but I am not sure if i will read it or not.

    Done with Cuckoo's Nest for school and moving on to Yellow Raft, again, for one of my elective English courses.

    On the other hand, I eagerly await the fourth book of Song of Ice and Fire.

    I'm sorry, surely you could have picked better. Just my opinion, but, you pick one of worst EU books to read.

    Thanks for the sympathy. This is the second one I have tried and I still have yet to read one all the way through.
    I think I have given up on the EU books for good now. [face_laugh]

    Read The Thrawn Trilogy (Heir too the Empire is the first book)


    They were written before people thought the EU would get that big, every starwars fan EU or not should read them.

    Tracked a copy down, huh? How are you finding it? Beautiful, isn't it?

    Going to post any in the common place book? ;)

    I finished The Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh, Vol. 2 by Vincent Van Gogh a while back.

    Blew through The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman, which works better on film or stage than reading it.

    Finished up Blizzard by Al Lacy, a mediocre western novel.

    Ran through The Followers by Jude Watson, which was stupid as usual.

    Currently working on Intended for Pleasure by Ed Wheat.

    I'll add it to my 'to read' list. But I'll need a bit of a vacation after reading this last one.

    Right now I'm reading all SW books to get my muse working for a fan fic. So, I'm reading Shadows of the Empire, The Joiner King, Attack of the Clones, and ROTS. I've read them all before, but now I'm looking for something specific.

    I'll get to the Boba book soon. If I ever finish the insane amount of work my professors keep piling on me. And recapturing all of the data that was collected for my thesis and then lost. If only they would accept a Star Wars related thesis. Somehow I don't think my advisor would be thrilled with that idea.

    And, of course you get to borrow any of my books.
