    Whatever you do, DON'T read A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt if your sides split easily or you hate smiling for hours after reading a passage in a book.

    I'm polishing off the Clerical Quintet by R.A. Salvatore.

    I'd bought the first 2 last season before going up north for deer season, polished them off in a day each while I was up there. Decided to finally get the last 3 this year, so I have the complete set and am now 3/4 of the way through book 5 "Chaos Curse".

    48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller

    One of my resolutions this year is a career change.

    One where I can wear a kilt everyday.

    Biblical Eldership: An Urgent Call to Restore Biblical Church Leadership

    Six Easy Pieces, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces by Richard Phillips Feynman and Richard P. Feynman

    Hows that for a mix?

    Well I was reading the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to my daughter, but were finished with that one now, so,

    I am reading:
    The Secret Sharer
    by Joseph Conrad

    John
    By Cynthia Lennon

    and I think I will finally pick up
    the Da-Vinci code
    By Dan Brown
    I dont want to be the only person on the planet who has not read it.

    I am also re-reading
    The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills
    By Charles Bukowski

    Lastly I think I will start reading Erigon to my daughter soon, reading together is something we enjoy very much.
    Thats about it for now but soon I will be looking for something else.

    You're not missing much. It's a really mediocre book (not talking about the theological implications, just bad, predictable, makes John Grisham look like Dickens).

    Don't. It isn't worth the effort. The man can not write. I found the characters to be flat and lifeless - you learn nothing about them except what is needed to fit them into the structure of the story. Since the characters have no life I could not like them.

    And who's to say that being the "only person on the planet who has not read it" isn't a good thing?

    Life is too short to read bad books.
