what are you reading?

Rueben: I am toying with th idea of getting the new "Jordan" books (written by the new guy) - although I don't know why should I, considering the last WoT SUCKED, but yay or nay?
Waste of time, or something I *just gotsa do* ?
 
currently reading Weaveworld, by Clive Barker. finished part three, about to start part four. Great, great book so far.

Definitely one of my favorite books.

I've purchased the two books that he's written thus far, and I understand he's doing the very last one now. I haven't started reading them yet because I haven't decided if I should re-read the entire series in order to do it, or somehow just summarize everything up to that point. I don't remember squat.

If you've already read WoT this far, Brandon Sanderson is a pretty good writer and I think it'd give a sense of closure. But it's not worth starting the series fresh or rereading from the beginning if it's been too long. Wheel of Time just...isn't that good. :(

Kulak - excellent choice! The Farseer Trilogy is fucking brilliant. I wish more of Hobb's work was up to that standard.
 
Started 'Stephen Fry's incomplete and utter history of classical music'. An easy read so far.
 
I'm getting ready for a moving sale, so I just skimmed through about 20 huge, dated art history books. I rediscovered how much I enjoy Gainsborough's satires, but the book's author failed to break down the little details in his paintings..hence the reason why I'm sellin'

I also read a Karate book that explains how to chop the horn of a bull off with your hand.
 
I'm actually selling them at a book shop that pays you for your books. I researched online - these books are selling for pennies, not even worth the gas to the post office sadly..I like supporting local businesses and I have pretty good luck at Mulligan's Books :)
 
Contemplating re-reading DUNE all over again, as soon as I am done with my huge to-read list for the next couple of months. Love that book SO MUCH!
Haven't read it in.... years! (for the 10th time) I should do it again.
