Now you've only got 10 million pages spread over three books to go.

If you're continuing on with the series, a LOT of interesting things happen in A Storm of Swords.

A Storm of Swords is a much better read than ACoK -- ACoK is one of the most difficult books that I have ever read.

I read all my books on my ipad on the Kindle App.
I love it. Took away all the reasons I never read books.

Frank, I think the books I've read in the series can be summed up as a post-apocalyptic zombie read for teenage girls.
Maybe not that bad, but super close.
Great idea for a storyline, but it's written by a woman and just sounds like it is in my head when I'm reading it. A woman in her very early 20's. I just want to stuff a pair of socks in her mouth and send her home.
I STILL haven't finished that second book. But as God is my witness, I will.
I'm at 90+% now.
Then I don't know what I'll read.
Probably get away from sci-fi for a bit and read some history. Ken Burns, I'm thinking.
Or more Zombies if there's any out there worth reading.

Scott won't let me tell you what I'm reading.

I have a huge e-book library if anyone is looking for stuff to read. Mostly fiction.

I just finished Gaiman's American Gods- Fan-freaking-tastic
Just started Stephenson's Anathem- so far so good.

I read through NYPD Red 1,2 and 3.

I also started reading through the Fate of the Jedi Series. I have currently read Outcast, Omen, Abyss, and Backlash. Five more books in this series that I will sprinkle in throughout the year.

I have been rereading the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, I'm on book 8.

I have Anathem, just haven't gotten to it yet. I was thinking William Gibson wrote it, and I wasn't crazy about Neuromancer, so I've kind of stayed away.
I went and read the plot, a longer one a wikipedia. Sounds awesome.

My books are all over my puter. I need to get them cleaned up so I can share.

That wouldn't be practical, Scott. While there is significant overlap (duplicates), I have ~40,000 titles. Mostly fiction.

If you give me a genre you like and/or authors, I can tell you what books, if any, I have.

Porch Dweller · 06-15-2015, 05:00 PM

Axis, the second book in Robert Charles Wilson's Spin trilogy

Peter, by any chance do you have anything by David McCullough?

I'm most interested in Truman, The Great Bridge, And The Path Between the Seas.
I have, and read 1776 and John Adams already.
Thanks in advance.
