I'm 1/2 way through The first book of The Mongoliad. It is quite the rip-roarer and has multiple authors, including Neal Stephenson and Greg Bear. Knights of a secret order decide to try and kill the Khan of Khans. It turns the pages well.

Couldn't decide on what to read after The Hound of the Baskervilles, so I filled in the rest of today with some short stories I had on my Kindle.
Did wonders for my "books read" count (up to 20), but really dropped my pages/book average (down from ~400 to 357 pg/bk). My goal for the year is a page goal, so I don't mind counting short stories as books. Right now I am at the same # of books to date as last year, but have 2,400 more pages read.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I've had the trilogy sitting there for a year or so untouched, picked up the first book for the hell of it and immediately got sucked in.

I am rereading some of the early Garrett PI novels by Glen Cook. To me it is like reading Nero Wolfe as a Fantasy.

I second The Fault In Our Stars. Good book! Very touching.
I'm reading Divergent by Veronica Roth & then Insurgent. It's the first two in a trilogy with the third coming sometime in the fall apparently. It reminds me of The Hunger Games but I'm enjoying it. |

The last book I finished was Dreams and Shadows by C. Robert Cargill. While I don't normally read urban fantasy I really enjoyed this. It has a rather unique, dark, take on faery creatures and mixes different mythologies and folklore to good effect.
