No way...I could not read 3 at once. My brain will certainly get confused. Even in different formats.

[Katie]

Haha I'm reading 3 ATM :)

[Dale]

Same here. I NF, two fiction but different genres.

[Katie]

I'm reading "James Potter and the hall of elders' crossing", "Mockingjay" and "Harry Potter and the philosphers stone" I never get confused or mixed up ;)

[Maureen]

I usually read several concurrently, so as to achieve maximal intracranial entropy. :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation was a very funny book! I remember enjoying it very much. I might dig it out and read it again too.

Perhaps you're interest in this book shows your as pedantic as me about grammar and punctuation.

sorry - as pedantic as I.....

I am a third through Kingmakers and can't wait to read more this evening. So far, it's a great conclusion to the trilogy.The Kingmakers

Its definately a possibility. And Im especialy fastidious about speling and not prepositions ending sentenses, with. Not too mention Zen tax. Its clear that we share many interests in common together jointly both of us, like the avoidance of unnecessary duplicative redundancy, just e.g., for an example, to cite one instants. I feel certifiable that I'm every bit as matriculous about grammer and dicshun as you our.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

@Mark. I absolutely agree but I would like to clearly state that I do not often stress about splitting infinitives.

[Katie]

Thankyou Michael :)

Started reading The Shadow of the Wind last night and so far I'm loving it. After 50 pages I can already give it a strong recommendation.

It's an awesome book James. I highly recommend it as well

Starting tonight.

[Tango]

I just finished Mister Pip which was amazingly moving.

[Dale]

Snap. Me too. Just started it yesterday. Be interesting to compare notes.

Good to hear. I picked up a copy of The Shadow of the Wind this week for $3.
I've finished two books this week - Bedlam: London and Madness, ok, good if you're interested in history. And Wildthorn which I particularly enjoyed.

Am still reading bit by bit Stumbling Toward Enlightenment, and enjoying what I read. Am hoping to start something for my September challenge, or the Spring challenge, but need to clear a few books first.

It's good but Reichs is starting to get a bit predictable and ordinary. She needs to think of something new soon. And how long can Temperance and Ryan carry on without actually getting together?

Haha!! Yes, I've wondered that before...either ditch him, or get together...lol

[Katie]

Just finished reading Mockingjay!! WOW I can't believe it's the end of the trilogy!!! I want more!! Can't decide what to read next... It's out of Eclipse, Dead until dark, Hush,Hush and Clockwork Angle!! What should I read next?? :)

Eeny meeny miney mo...... they are all good.

[Tango]

I have just started Bring Up the Bodies and am already into it.

[Maggie]

How do you all get so much time for reading? I'm bushed just working and running the family, house and garden.

I'm trying to finish a few books I'm part way through, and then hope to start on the September and Spring reads. But I'm having to face the fact that I can't keep up with the reading, especially now I have a couple of groups I'm following.

Personally, I'm helped by having no life.

I should think the OED or the Brisbane Telephone Directory, but the Epic of Gilgamesh is good, too, especially in the original Sumerian. I like the part with the stupid snake of life. I think it's on clay tablet #353, on your kindle.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

@ Mark Personally I don't think much of the Brisbane Telephone Directory. In fact I don't really enjoy the whole directory genre.

[Mark]

Phrynne wrote: "@ Mark Personally I don't think much of the Brisbane Telephone Directory. In fact I don't really enjoy the whole directory genre."

Well, you know, I tend to agree, but the directory genre is an important part of the postmodernist canon.

That's a conversation stopper right there. :)

[Maggi]

I'm reading Anne Brear's The Gentle Wind's CaressAnne is an Aussie author now living in England. She used to write under Anne Whitfield. I love her Victorian romantic sagas.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Bones Are Forever which was very ordinary. Starting 1Q84, #1 now. I have heard lots of good things about it!

[Katie]

Decided to read Clockwork Angle, good to read about shadow hunters again!! I love the "Mortal instruments" books so lets hope the "Infernal devices" are just as good!!! :)

Ahhh.....that's the secret. Thank you, I will cancel any life I thought I might once have had (my daughters tell me I have no life already so it will not be hard!).

I do most of my reading travelling on the train to and from TAFE (near Central) and my part time work (in North Ryde). I'm in Parramatta so it can be a fair hike. I don't mind though.

Marc, you are such a cynic. Clay tablet, indeed! LOL. I've started Ruth Rendell Portobello. Another Brit. :)

[Katie]

Loving Clockwork Angel so far!! Has anyone else read it? :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just finished and it was brilliant! Quirky and well written and very surprising. About to move on to

[Khenan]

oh lordy..i seem to be stuck in a rut (though i guess its a positive one..)reading through this series from that fantsy challenge :( read the first three books of the wheel of time series and decided to read something lighter but im burning to find out what happens next! gah

so just started The Shadow Rising.

i always like a fantasy book but sometimes there is so much to comprehend with them being quite long and filled with weird places/people and magical stuffs :( hopefully this book won't end on a high note so i won't be so quick to jump into the next one.

[Dale]

That's my husband's favourite fantasy series.
