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".

Great series by a great author.

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.
