A Dance with Dragons, I just started The Hunger Games as well because I felt like something quick and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Almost half way through and I missed my stop on the bus twice while reading it today so I must be enjoying it. I'm also reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson which is a book about science and scientists and a bunch of stuff really. I know it's not sci-fi or fantasy but It's really interesting and science fact is cool too! We wouldn't have sci-fi without it! So yeah that's what else I'm reading, I'm looking to start another audiobook as well maybe I'll do The Magicians on audio.
I'm reading a lot of script logs from tests at world. :/In my free time I'm reading The Magicians, trying to ensure I can keep up with the group. And I've made very little progress in Wild Cards, so am still listening to that. It's sad, I'm actually looking forward to a doctor appoint,want on Monday because it will take me about 30 minutes to drive there without traffic, plus time in the office, and then I'll have the entire drive back...I hope to make good progress...
I'm reading Osama, which is set in an alternative world where Bin Laden is just a character in a series of crime thrillers.I'll probably also give The Magicians a quick reread over the weekend so I'm prepared to defend it to the nay sayers.
I've been hearing about The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell for a while and I finally started the audiobook. Wow.
I just finished reading They Shall Have Stars by James Blish (part of his Cities in Flight series). After this I'm reading (on the Sci-Fi front) The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi.
I recently finished up Nightlife and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Nightlife was pretty good and I really liked Dirk Gently. I'm finishing up Skinny Dip on audio and I'm halfway through The Maltese Falcon.
Right now I'm finishing Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear. After that I'm going to dig back into A Clash of Kings and read it along with Game of Thrones Season 2!!!
Since I last posted, I have finished the Hunger Games trilogy as well as A Clash of Kings. I'm currently just over 1/2 way through Terror by Dan Simmons which I'm enjoying but it's slow going.

Considering what to read next from my big pile of books... Hmmmmm horror, fantasy or Sci-fi? I even have a crime-novel although that's not where I normally dwell in my reading....
