I've had tons of time on my hands in the past couple of weeks (no school until the end of September) and I usually read 3 different books at once (I pick up a book based on my mood) I just got done with the Harry Potter series again (specifically PoA, GoF, and OotP). I just started reading The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King. I also am about to finish The Quenn of the Damned by Anne Rice and once I am done with that I will start The Tale of the Body Thief. (what can I say - I'm in the mood to read series of books just so I can redigest the plots as a continuing saga)

About half-way through The Ultimax Man by Keith Laumer. Reads like a plot lifted from an old Outer Limits episode.

About halfway through Lee Child's The Killing Floor. Heard so much about Child and I thought I'd start the Reacher books at the beginning. Really enjoying it -- it's always so great to find a new series to catch up on.

After I finish about four Pelecanos books and after my Fathers Day books arrive, I will be starting there as well. I want them all here before I start because I expect that I will want to tear through them.

Finished two books over the weekend. Midnight Tides, by, Steven Erikson, 5th book in the Malazan series. Amazing series by the way.

Also finished The Songs Of Susannah, by, Stephen King, 6th book in the Dark Tower series. Another amazing series. One to go, and it's not that far away, either.

Next up, something light. Nightmare House, by, Douglas Clegg.

Now reading

Still ploughing my way through the 'Sharpe' series by Bernard Cornwell - now reading 'Sharpe's Siege'

Depending upon finances I hope to pick up/read a copy of the latest James Lee Burke novel next.

I'll be finishing up Archangel by Shinn thia afternoon and hope to get Game of Thrones from the library. Everyone keeps telling me i need to read it. Archangel btw was not worth the effort of reading.

I also hope to find a copy of the first New Jedi Order book and start it as well - about time i got around to that series.

Just started Matthew B. J. Delaney's Jinn. Very interesting so far with a creepy atmosphere. (I HATE the ultra small text of this hardcover edition, however. )

Just finished "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." Almost sappy, but Albom pulls it off. Higly recommend for a quick emotional read.
