[July] What are you reading?

Just started reading The DaVinci Code, after my wife has pestered me to read it for about a year now. Can't believe I put it off for this long! It's an easy read, but so many interesting ideas!
 

Well, I didn't listen to as many audioboks during my 33 hours in the car last week as I thought I would. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I had my daughter with me half the time.

We listened to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America, the Book, the Audiobook, which was very funny though some of the jokes went over my daughter's head. We also listened to The Best and the Second Best of Car Talk, which doesn't really qualify as a book. On the trip back I listened to Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery, which was a very interesting read. I was glad to find it as a book on CD at the library, because I had been meaning to read it for years. I also have a bunch of others on deck, and am on the reserve list for HP6 at the library. While I work out, I am currently listening to The Adventures of Guy Noir from Garrison Keillor's Prarie Home Companion radio shows which also isn't technically a book.

The Rational Unified Process Made Easy by Kroll and Krutchen, also still reading The Confusion by Neal Stephenson (eventually I'll finish it).
 

Still reading Eisenhorn (late June and early July has been rough on reading time) and I'm getting ready to start Grisham's The Broker (that one ought to be a quick read).

I'm reading Gene Wolfe's the Wizard, book two of the Wizard Knight Duology.

It's extremely well written, althought it hasn't totally grabbed be as I thought it would. I have been struggling through a number of books lately.

Before the Wizard Knight I read the first two books of Charles Stross's Merchant Princes series. The Family Trade and the Hidden Family. They were originally intended to be one volume but were split up. These were extremly enjoyable reads. I breezed through them both very quickly which was just what I needed. They remind be very much of Zelazny's Amber series, at least in concept.

I've been on a huge book buying spree lately, and have probably half a hundred books in my que. I'm thinking I'm going to go with Focault's Pendulum next.
 

I just finished Dan Simmons' Ilium and Olympos which were both fantastic. In fact, it put me in the mood to reread his Hyperion Cantos, which I am currently working on.

Currently reading the new Harry Potter book (which, I must say, is excellent!!)

Next up is "Elantris" (YAY! A stand-alone fantasy nove!),

Then "Dark Water", and then the Ring trilogy ("Ring", "Spiral" and "Loop": not to be confused with "Lord of the Rings".)

After that? The Historian.
