I finished the second book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga the other day, titled A Clash of Kings. Great series and I'm about to start on book three, A Storm of Swords. :thumbsup:

I just finished reading Damocles Sword by Geoffrey Thorne From the Star Trek Titan book series. It was a really good book. Also reading the Venetian mask by Raphael Sabitini

Finished T is for Trespass and CSI: In Extremis. Now reading: Murder on Mulberry Road by Victoria Thompson . Absolutely, (IMO) one of the best series.

I got StarTrek Excelsior Forged in Fire. It sounds really like it's going to be an interesting book it ties into the back story of the ds9 tv show Blood oath and the Enterprise episodes Affliction & Divergence's consequences. We'll get to see Captain Sulu and Curzon Dax.

I've never read this author before: John Dunning-Booked to Die. So far it's pretty good.

Just finished "Yarn Harlot". A very amusing book for any knitter (or non-knitter. Since I just started knitting, I'm not a real "Knitter" yet)

If you read a book about knitting... you're a knitter :lol: :D

oh, no... after reading this book, I'm more than positive that I'm a knitter and not a Knitter.

(aside: it's actually pretty funny whether you knit or not. A face off between a knitter and a crazy squirrel intent on stealing her yarn is good no matter what)

It's flavored with passionfruit
an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

Reading...the entire New Testament in 30 days. Works out to about 8 chapters a day. It's pretty amazing. I'll be reading along, and suddenly... "Wow! So THAT'S where that's from!" Never tried to do it all in order. I'm Catholic, so we get it all, but in disjointed pieces over a couple of years on Sundays. This way I get the gist of the author's...or probably editor's in most cases...thought processes. Way cool. 8)

Lee and I aren't Christian, but we've read aloud good portions of the old testament out of interest....and yeah....you're totally like OOOooooooOOHHHHHHH! That's where that comes from! The NIV Student's Bible is awesome cause it explains stuff/people/history in every page. Way more accessible than the boring old Gideon copy in my bookshelf.

Okay...*I'M* reading a delightful story by a relatively obscure author....one Robyn Sullivent Gries. Strange New Worlds 10!!!!! I love it! Hopeful Romantic is #1!

I tried reading the whole Bible once, but I didn't stick with it for very long. I think I get where Catholics get the "no contraceptives" thing from now though.
