Took me forever to get through The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, but I think I'm back in a reading groove. Finished up Amnar: The Execution by IJ Black recently, then moved on to Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie.

The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life - by Ben Sherwood.

I have had this book on my Kindle for about 6 months, not a real page turner but I seem to go back to it for a chapter or two every time I finish something else.

Just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. A great book. Prompted me to reserve The Girl Who Played with Fire at the library. I also put a hold on Foreign Influence by Brad Thor and American Assassin by Vince Flynn.

Since none of those are currently available, I'm picking up A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane, tomorrow. Thanks Marianne for the Lehane recommendation (from your best of 2009 list

). Well...I guess thanks, as I haven't read one of his novels yet, but loved The Wire (HBO) for which he wrote a few episodes.

Let us know how you like A Drink Before the War. Haven't read it but I really enjoyed his Shutter Island and The Given Day.

Just finished Ken Follett's Fall of Giants. Lots of inter-related characters and plots. Always enjoy his books.

Just started George Bush's Decision Points.

jledou · 11-21-2010, 06:24 AM

just finished up A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I will definitely be reading the next three in the series.

BloodSpite · 11-21-2010, 03:58 PM

Just finished The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay for the second time. Hadn't read it since High School and enjoyed it greatly. My wife found me a copy for my Birthday and finally got around to rereading it.

Starting The Coming Fury by Bruce Catton, part of a trilogy including Never Call Retreat and Terrible Swift Sword. Hoping to have all three done before Christmas
