What is Everyone Reading (Books)?
Not comics but books. I'm a pretty avid reader and mix it up pretty good across history, classics, current novels, etc.
Right now I'm reading "Marley & Me" which is hysterically funny and touching all at the same time, "Hustler Days" which is a really cool history of pool hustlers going back to the 1920s, and HG Well's "The Island of Dr. Moreau" which I just started (I've read a bunch of Well's work but not this story).

I just finished reading the recent book from Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, "Dense Macabre" and the prequel, "Micah"...
Anita Blake, the protagonist, is a necromancer/vampire executioner who has formed a triumvate with a master vampire and lead werewolf...the first books in the series were pretty cool but after that, Hamilton started adding more sex orgies in the plot...but overall it's an excellent read, plenty of shapeshifters (i.e. werelion, werehyena, wererats, wereleopard, etc.) and all sorts of monster baddies...

George R.R. Martin Song of Ice and Fire series. Just finished the first book Game of Thrones and have started the second Clash of Kings. Outstanding. Martin has been called the American Tolkien.

Just started "Le Morte D'Arthur", having given up on "The Secret Agent" by Joseph Conrad. That's only the second book I've ever given up on.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Hey wktf, my wife is reading "Marley and Me"...she loves it! I'll probably read it after she's done. Right now I'm reading the most recent Star Wars novel from the Legacy of the Force series called "Betrayal." I'd like to read a good fantast novel after I'm done with SW.
I take it you recommend the Fire and Ice series, Zurb?
