Re: What book are you currently reading?
Been listening to "Sate of Fear" by Crichton, which while fantastical, offers a good breakdown of the misinformation and confusion around the term "Global Warming". A little surprised to get the sense that he was rather anti-GW, but since I'm not done, I'll wait for his personal take that he puts at the end of these types of novels. (His essay on genetics science at the end of Next truly made that novel.)
Also beginning "Magician: Apprentice" by Raymond E. Feist, which is the very beginning of the Riftwar Cycle. Currently, the series has 28 novels with at least two mroe planned. Not sure I'll read this one straight through, but am tempted to. He's an excellent story teller, without his novels getting too laid down with extra information.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Glad I could help. My sister insisted on telling me all about how awesome the books were when I was watching the show with her once.
It's vital to note I was watching it with her so I could judge the physical attractiveness of the actors. None of them are all that attractive, especially the one my sister described as the "hot one." |

LOL, I thought so too but was disappointed that none of them really looked all that great.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Just started "A Wise Man's Fear: Day 2 of The Kingkiller Chronicles." by Patrick Rothfuss. I know I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again: if you like fantasy novels, if you read fantasy novels, if you have ever even read a portion of a fantasy novel and didn't end up wretching in disgust - READ THIS SERIES! It is one of the best I've ever read in all of literature.
