Working through part two of The Belgariad.

Once I'm through with that, I need to read Lattimore's translation of The Iliad (college reading).

Then you know where I got my username from then. I'm reading The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind.

I finally finished The Goldfinch, which was probably a couple hundred pages too long and I wouldn't recommend it to most readers, despite its critical acclaim. Now I'm reading The Rosie Project, which so far reminds me of The Silver Linings Playbook. Fun, light, from the perspective of a seriously flawed first person narrator. I'm excited about it today because of this fantastic quote, which I am trying to burn into my own long term memory:

"I was temporarily unable to access the schedule in my brain because of overload."

Just finished A Confederacy of Dunces. I'm still trying to figure out what I think of it.

The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks.

One of those few books that I liked enough to actually buy.

I forgot about this thread. Looks like I have quite a bit to catch up on.

Here are all the books I've read since last checking in:

Just finished The Universal Baseball Associaton by Robert Coover. A good read if you are or ever were into baseball simulation games, particularly the board game versions like APBA or Statis Pro.

Finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson a couple weeks ago. A vast improvement over his earlier works such as Elantris (which was good, but not great). In the middle of Dune by Frank Herbert right now.

Are you reading the quotes at the beginning of chapters?

[Son of Arathorn]

In Dune? Yes.

I thought the chapter opening quotes added something amazing to the ending of Dune. I am very glad I read them.

I'll be sure to keep them in mind. I'm about halfway through the book.
