I am going to start that as soon as I finish the Wheel of Time series (last book due out in January -- I will reread the whole thing which will take a few days (:rolleyes:) as it is just over 11,000 pages before the last book).

Casual Vacancy. J.K. Rowling's follow up to the Harry Potter series. I don't have very high hopes for it but I owe it to her to see if she can write anything else since I devoted much of my childhood to Harry Potter

Huge fan of the series. GRRM has a way of taking what you love and dashing it against the rocks. It can be infuriating. Ike and Tina...he smacks you around and you keep coming back for more.

Neal Stephenson is the man. Anathem is my favorite. Reamde is quite good. Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash are really good as well.

Confederacy of Dunces, but John Kennedy Toole. Re-reading it due to the fact the first time I read it I was 15 and have since decided I most likely didn't understand 60% of the book. Fantastic book even at 15.

Yes -- decided to read this series now rather than the Wheel of time (which I will do next year after MoL comes out). I am also reading them in chronological order - it's a great series!

That's crazy. I remember when EoTW was first released--I was living in Charleston at the time, and RJ had a book signing inside the Citadel Mall. There were exactly 0 people in line and I didn't even know who he was as I was just happening to walk by.

I'm fortunate in that over the years, I was able to attend events where RJ personalized just about every volume of my set until his unfortunate passing.

Good for you. That's one of only two books in my life that I just could never get through.

Took another diversion from Jack Reacher and read a book that has been sitting on my Kindle for a bit; Resurrection by Arwen Elys Dayton. Pretty good story.
