Tell us what you're reading and what you think of it!

I FINALLY finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I don't think I've ever read a book with so many typos, but the story itself was awesome and I can't wait for the next book. I'm currently reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (only the "e" has those two dots above it) and Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe (which is pretty cool so far).

Reading Macbeth for English class. Not bad, but not my favorite of Shakespeare's works.

The only Shakespeare I've read so far is Hamlet, which I loved. :P I plan to change that, though; I have the Complete Pelican Shakespeare sitting on me shelf and I plan to crack that b**** open sooner or later.

Still reading Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. I'll be done tonight, and next up is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.

Reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Amazing fantasy book. Best I've read in a very long time.

Memories Of Ice by Steven Erikson. Very very good series once you get into it, but I always find it a bit of a chore to get into each new book, because there is just so much to keep track of and the author has a tendency not to give much in the way of a refresher in what happened in the past...which is both a good thing and a bad thing I suppose.

Unfinished Tales by Tolkien. I didn't start reading it yet because of college but I will once the semester ends.

I just finished reading a book called The Bible, The Qur'an and Science by Dr. Maurice Bucaille. With the exception of one mistake, I found it fascinating. I'm about to finish reading Yusuf Ali's translation of the Qur'an [with commentary]. In the near future, I plan on getting the nine volumes of the Sahih Al-Bukhari hadith. It's a volume of scriptures that are important to Islam, but not as important as the Qur'an.

I will, but it'll probably take me a while to finish :P

Pip became a huge douchewagon.

He's getting back on my good side though, after helping Herbert.

The Gunslinger

It's really good so far, but I wish I would put more time into actually reading it
