Add me to the list re-re-reading the grrm series in anticipation of Dance. I am also working through the Steven Erikson Malazan series, currently in book 3. I don't like short books or series (awaiting Robert Jordans as well).

I'm reading A Clash of Kings. I had read Game of Thrones before the HBO TV series, but after watching it, I really wanted to read the rest of the books.

I think I have eight books now at the same time (used to have 2 or 3)...!!!!
I've got (finally) Wells' Time Machine, Superhero Encyclopedia (700 something pages), some Nietche (sorry for the spelling and sorry for me being lazy to search it...), Twilight series and Dr Solar (another comic book).

I have mastered the way to flip the books (for pdf) and to get the correct zoom. Everyday Kobo gets better - we are in love!

RIGHT NOW I'm reading the mobile read forums....when I'm done with that I think I'll read the new Tom Clancy.

Just got done reading the Hilda the Witch series (free on smashwords.com) very good. Now reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

I have to tell you guys how cheesy I am - Superman Returns is in my top five fave movies... Where a blush icon when you need one?

I just found a novelization of it - the thing was int txt format. Used calibre to change it to epub.
Put it in the Kobo.
Eject.
Update of the device.
BANG!
The book is in there in a wonderful format - my first time I changed a book format.
...and it worked!
There is hope for me...
So, right now, that'll be my next book on the list of faves.
I alternate - got 3 pages of books rolling!

I am so "Koboing" these days. Wonderful weather - I just hang in a park with a friend called Mr Cigar and his sidekick Mr Amaretto (before I walk there) and my...er..."Kobible"... ;-)

I'm currently re-reading the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

know-one · 07-10-2011, 09:27 PM

I also read the novel of "Somewhere in Time" (Bid Time Return), it is so much different than the movie.
Loved the movie but the novel is brilliant.
And it's such a pleasure that I only allow myself 5 pages at night when I go to bed - I want to make it last and last.
It's probably a book that I will reread over and over...

I stop at five because it's a special book that I want to save, but I do have other books that I just crash through.

IamARobot · 07-11-2011, 10:01 AM

Re-reading Skylark Three by E.E Doc Smith. Love that old style Pulp science fiction.

Reading Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. One of the many who jumped on the bandwagon after hearing the rave reviews on the HBO series. First time reading a "Fantasy Epic" but enjoying it so far.
