Now you've only got 10 million pages spread over three books to go.
If you're continuing on with the series, a LOT of interesting things happen in A Storm of Swords.

A Storm of Swords is a much better read than ACoK -- ACoK is one of the most difficult books that I have ever read.

I read all my books on my ipad on the Kindle App.
I love it. Took away all the reasons I never read books.

Maybe not that bad, but super close.
Great idea for a storyline, but it's written by a woman and just sounds like it is in my head when I'm reading it. A woman in her very early 20's. I just want to stuff a pair of socks in her mouth and send her home.
I STILL haven't finished that second book. But as God is my witness, I will.
I'm at 90+% now.
Then I don't know what I'll read.
Probably get away from sci-fi for a bit and read some history. Ken Burns, I'm thinking.
Or more Zombies if there's any out there worth reading.

I read through NYPD Red 1,2 and 3.

I also started reading through the Fate of the Jedi Series. I have currently read Outcast, Omen, Abyss, and Backlash. Five more books in this series that I will sprinkle in throughout the year.

I have Anathem, just haven't gotten to it yet. I was thinking William Gibson wrote it, and I wasn't crazy about Neuromancer, so I've kind of stayed away.
I went and read the plot, a longer one a wikipedia. Sounds awesome.

That wouldn't be practical, Scott. While there is significant overlap (duplicates), I have ~40,000 titles. Mostly fiction.

If you give me a genre you like and/or authors, I can tell you what books, if any, I have.

Peter, by any chance do you have anything by David McCullough?

I'm most interested in Truman, The Great Bridge, And The Path Between the Seas.
I have, and read 1776 and John Adams already.
Thanks in advance.
