    I just finished:

    Little Miss Star and If you were a penguin. Okay, I read them to Child Rum, but I still read them!

    I'm currently reading The Mistress in the Art of Death. Can't remember the author. Picked it up at the Bargain Book Bin at the local grocery store.

    I also just finished Issue #9 of the comic "Man With No Name".

      I'm currently rereading the Dresden books. I just finished book 7 last night and am trying to hurry since I haven't read the new one yet. I'm waiting and reading them in order.
      You will not be disappointed. I'll leave it at that for now.

      Currently reading The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks and working through a Games magazine.

        That's what I've heard which is why I'm trying to speed through them as much as possible

          The Complete Idiot's Guide to Drawing Manga, 2nd Edition
          There are SOOO many better manga instruction books out there. The best drawing books are for general cartooning, anyway.

          Re-reading, I should say. I don't get the 4th book until next year, so I need my fix.

            Yeah, true- and I have some of them- but I've read them all already and this one was on sale at the store where I work. I guess I need to stop reading how-to books and get back to practicing on a regular schedule.

              I need to stop collecting art books. I have an entire shelf of the things. T-T

                I've just finished Clive Cussler's "Dirk pitt" books.

                Next on the list to start in the bath tongiht is Henry Hemming's "In Search of the English Eccentric" which is his guide/tribute to English eccentricities through the ages.

                Nothing else waiting at the moment because in a couple of weeks I am off to Northumberland to visit Barter Books - one fo the largest second hand bookshops in Europe. I have been twice before and it is an epic all day job hiding hidden treasures!

                  When Alice Lay Down With Peter by Margaret Sweatman

                  It's a novel about four generations living through the defining moments in Western Canadian History. Specifically Manitoba. If you don't know the history is makes the book nearly impossible.

                  When I finish that I will either read Paper Towns by John Green or The Dark River by John Twelve Hawks

                    Irrational Season by Madeleine L'Engle,
                    How is it? I never got past the fourth(?) Wrinkle in Time book - started getting kind of dry. I really liked the initial writing though.



                    For me: The Thursday Next series. Yes, my first time - you may all be suitably jealous now. I very surprised no one brought these up when I asked for "quirky" books last year.

                      I'm reading "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles" by Murakami Haruki. After that, I'm going to do "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"

                        I'm going through the Harry Dresden Novels by Jim Butcher. I just finished Grave Peril and will start on Summer Knight tonight.

                        I'm also reading Into the Storm: A Study in Command by Tom Clancy.

                          Startide Rising by David Brin. I enjoyed Sundiver some time ago but this one is better.

                            Right now, I am reading Troilus and Cressida by Chaucer and Identical by the same person who wrote Crank (the name escapes me right now.)

                            After Troilus and Cressida, I'm going to read the Canterbury Tales. I got a book with those two works from the library.

                                From all of the books you all are reading...makes me feel like I'm a middle school reader in a room with highschooler readers.
