I just finished 'A Dance With Dragons', the fifth book in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series (aka Game of Thrones). And the next book probably won't be out until next year? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Decided to go with a couple classic adventure stories, so currently reading She by H. Rider Haggard, then going on to the sequel, Ayesha, The Return of She.

Just started Game of Thrones, the first book in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire & Ice series. Figured I'd see what the hype is all about.

Just finished "The 6th Extinction" - excellent read BTW about the extinction event we seem to be living in right now.

I'm just a few pages in to "The Zero Marginal Cost Society" by Jeremy Rifkin. It's about the future of industrial capitalism which sounds excruciatingly boring but it was highly recommended by a friend so I'll give it a shot.

It's a masterpiece - but requires patience to keep with all the characters.
I haven't revisited since the movies, so might be easier to follow who's who.

Read them years ago and just started them again Friday, I've killed a couple entire days till I couldn't focus my eyes reading the first book. Thankfully it's been so long I forgot a lot of what happens, so it's like reading it for the first time, yet having a few clues before going in.

I do recall a couple of the books being rather slow and uninteresting, hopefully this time around it will be different.

I'm reading the Wool series. Finished 'Wool' a few days ago and am about 1/3 of the way through 'Shift'. I already have 'Dust' on the Kindle so when I finish 'Shift' I can start right in on it.

I've been reading Eckhart Tolle for a while now. It's become my bathroom reading. Have not.read it (The Power of Now) cover to cover. I just flip to a page and start reading. It's almost bible-ish. Not in the sense of the origin of the words, but every time.I open it to a random page, it's exactly what I need to hear at that moment.

It sounds kind of Neil Gaiman-ish. And I mean that in a good way.

Ok, we live in the middle of nowhere and have only minimal broadcast, antenna TV. So yeah, I had heard of the Game of Thrones television series, but somehow had missed the fact that it was initially a book series. I'm almost at the end of the third volume after just under three weeks of reading. Love 'em. I'm hooked.:banger

Is the film version worth my time?

Finished Shift a few days ago.... Loved the Wool Series, not 100% on board with the direction they went with Shift, but I'm willing to follow through to see where it goes. Haven't bought Dust yet.

Currently plowing through H2O... meh. One of those self-published books on amazon. Started ok, but really getting silly. Wouldn't recommend it.
