December 17, 201213 yr Read Reached by Ally Condie and A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris. Both are pretty good, and I highly recommend the Matched trilogy for people who like dystopian style books. Gotta Catch 'Em All!Blog
December 24, 201213 yr Just finished all of what I can find of the works of HP Lovecraft. Twas a very good day for such, for as I read the eerie and portentous tales, the wind outside howled and beat against my apartment with an almost malign ferocity.
December 24, 201213 yr Finished King Rat and about halfway through The City and the City, both by China Mieville. The latter is pretty odd to read at times, sometimes I'm not sure if he's trying to invoke a translated-conversation feeling or if he's just plain forgetting words. Both are great though. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men
December 26, 201213 yr I just finished The Cadet of Tildor it was.. ugh.. Not very good. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
December 26, 201213 yr Got The Idiot for Christmas. Looking forward to it... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
December 26, 201213 yr I've read it, it's very very good just like all of his work. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
December 26, 201213 yr I've read it, it's very very good just like all of his work. I've heard as much. I've also read The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment. I enjoyed C&P more though. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
December 26, 201213 yr Moving on to Requiem by Lauren Oliver. I loved the first book but wasn't crazy about the second book. Hopefully the third is better. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog

December 28, 201213 yr Five Little Pigs. A detective story by Agatha Christie. Bit of an oldie. I do enjoy detective stories though. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.
December 28, 201213 yr I love Agatha Christie. I read her books all the time as a kid. I even hoped to meet her one day, then I found out she died the year before I was born. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...
December 28, 201213 yr I love Agatha Christie. I read her books all the time as a kid. I even hoped to meet her one day, then I found out she died the year before I was born. I think my Mom has every book she ever wrote. She also has at least most of Tom Clancy.
December 28, 201213 yr I got the "A Song of Ice and Fire" box from Amazon. I'm halfway "A Game of Thrones" now, I'm guessing the next 6 books will keep me busy for a while. I'm loving it, but I've seen the series and seeing its loyalty to the books, I can't wait to move on to the new stuff in the next books.

Still a few months to go (released March 5th, I think) - I'm reading an advanced readers copy. :) Lemme know how it turns out :) I guess I'll start reading through the stack of magazines I have :D It ended up being 'pretty good' for me. The ending was a little disappointing, I thought. The love triangle does get wrapped up, but only in about one page at the very end, so it's not that satisfying and is still a little open ended. On the last page, I kind of thought, "It's over? What happens now?" But it's still a pretty good book. Now I'm reading Revolution 19 by Gregg Rosenblum. And thank god I'm almost done with it because it's pretty shit. But apparently the guy who worked on 24 and the guy who directed Final Destination are making a movie to go along with the book. I wonder if the movie will be any better. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
December 30, 201213 yr Recently finished Mishima Yukio's The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea. I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of their tastes, because though short it's an incredibly powerful, striking book. Also read Donald Keene's autobiography - I was glad to know a little better the man whose translations and books I have enjoyed for so long. I'll probably read Reinhold Niebuhr's The Irony of American History next. "Imagine yourself surrounded by the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive, and you may understand a little of my feelings with these grotesque caricatures of humanity about me." - H.G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau
December 30, 201213 yr I'm just about to start Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. I LOVED the first book and can't wait to read this one ^_^ - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
December 31, 201213 yr Got the first book of David Weber's Safehold series, Off Armageddon Reef, from a friend and I can't put it down. Bought books 1-5 on Friday and over the weekend I've read books 2-4 and just starting 5 this morning. They're all 700-1000 pages long though so my sleep debt is rising considerably but its worth every hour. edit finished 5 today and craving 6 now but have to wait till next week :cry: and gonna have to wait till september for book 7. [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!
January 3, 201313 yr Author Having found free time, I've gotten around to reading The Hobbit, and now I'm on to the LOTR trilogy. Maybe I'll appreciate the movies (and my LEGO sets) better after I read the books... 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪
January 4, 201313 yr Need to set a new reading challenge for 2013 on Goodreads. Not sure of how many books to go for. :< Almost finished reading The Hobbit, and then on to something different I guess.
January 9, 201313 yr Last Wheel of Time came out yesterday...even though my brother bought it and I'll get it after him (though that could be a few weeks depending on when I see him next) I'm seriously considering buying it just to be able to read it NOW :P

Harriet said that they don't plan on doing any sequels or prequels. The only other WoT related thing to be published is an encyclopaedia. To answer the OP, I am of course reading A Memory of Light :P Asmodean <3
