I've got Red Dwarf:better than life to finish, i've started City of Bones and Ender's shadow and Merlin from the Pendragon series. I've also got John Carter books 1-3 going, Clive Barker's Wearworld going too. I'm ADHD I ever make it all the way through a book at once so i bounce around.
Also, any of you who are on Goodreads who haven't added me need to!

Fair enough xD If I get into a series that has shorter books I probably will only post either after someone else posts, or I'm done a few books.Not so! More like, if I posted in this thread every time I finished a book, I'd be double posting constantly. xD
Speaking of, finished A Sending of Dragons on to the final book in the series Dragon's Heart. And this was a really good series, so thanks for picking the letter Y Jinx, even though your intention was too pick the least used letters =P.
Alright, I started Ghost Bride, by Yangze Choo and it was a real chore to finish. Did not like. I read two other books while I read Ghost Bride to break up the monotony: Dad is Fat, by Jim Gaffigan and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and Other Concerns), by Mindy Kaling. Both were lovely and very fun to read.
Now I'm reading Bridget Jones' Diary and then I'll be reading Bridget Jones' Diary: The Edge of Reason., by Helen Fielding. I have Mad About the Boy on hold at the library, so I'm going to read the whole series in one swoop.
Just finished Theories of International Politics and Zombies and it was an enjoyable, if somewhat lightweight, little monogram.
Have now started the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant.
how the hell do you people read so much
I'm on chapter four of that book I mentioned in this thread a month and a half ago
(this is an actual question by the way; every year my New Years Resolution is to read at least five books and every year I end up having read like two)
YOU KNOW WHAT? DISREGARD THIS WHINING
I'M GOING TO DO IT THIS YEAR
I'M GOING TO READ... SIX BOOKS IN 2014 (that's a reasonable number right?)

We're able to read so much because books are our vidya. xD
but you don't understand; Mister Adequate plays just as much vidya if I do (probably more) AND reads more than I do. I don't know how he does it!
Swear to Vehk I'm gonna do it in 2014 though!

Six books a year? I don't understand. I cannot comprehend.
I am still struggling through Mostly Harmless. And also Talesien, the first of the Pendragon Cycle. Aaaaaand I picked up five more books at the bookstore today. So, yeah.
<PaperStar> live fast, die young, bad plefs do it well
Fires: Essays, Poems, and Stories by Raymond Carver. To me, R.C. is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world of short stories. The essays are what caught my attention here, and they are really great too. Haven't gotten into the poems yet.
Also slowly working through Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. I love Franzen's style more than just about any other modern author, but he's so depressing. He'll write a sentence that will pierce clean through your heart with a razor sharp icicle. It's incredible but also can make one feel some serious weltschmerz. : \
So, The Pit Dragon Chronicles is amazing and everyone should read it. So with finishing Dragon's Heart I have moved on to the equally amazing Terry Pratchett, I shall start with The Long Earth books (co-written by Stephen Baxter), followed by the Bromeliad trilogy, then the Johnny Maxwell trilogy and finally the large behemoth that is Discworld.
Bwahaha, I've read 67 books so far this year.
