I am slowly working my way through Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series but I have been taking a break from it to catch up on my classic sci-fi. Right now I am working on The Moon is Harsh Mistress.

I'm reading Jonathan Maberry's Ghost Road Blues which is the first in a 3 book series. Just good old fashion horror story and I like it so far.

I read all the books out in the Dies the Fire and while it starts of interesting he just keeps dragging things out.
 
I WILL get around to reading Philip Roth's Zuckerman books and continuing John Updike's Rabbit series (only read the first one). I promise. Maybe not this year, but at some point.

Someone is trying to make me read Harry Potter. So far, I'm resisting.
 
I'm currently working my way through Lisa Gardners books. There is a very ROUGH order your meant to read them in, but i've had to skip a few as my library doesn't have them when i'm up to them :(

But so far i've read The Killing Hour, The Survivors Club and now im onto The Third Victim.

After this one i'm going to start reading John Wyndhams 3 biggies.. Day of the Triffids, The Kraken Wakes and The Chrysalids. It's handy they've mushed all these into the one book called The John Wyndham Omnibus!! :)
 
I never was much into series,specialy since i join this furom,when reviews and advices always make you want to jump to the next read.
I read 6 or 7 sharpes by Corwell but got mixed up.I sometime was starting one realising only after 50 pages that i read it already-I still think they are good,specialy the ones in India,and one in Chille,I got lost with the Portugese and Spanish ones.

I'm a big fan of Parker "the super lethal,super tuff bad guy"by Richard Stark ,i made a point of reading them in order and i'm on the 8th of the series.
There also a few of the Dortmunder by Westlake that i read.

I suppose Robin Hobb Fraser's can be considered a serie,and i read them all.And if Ripley by highsmith had been going on i would have followed.
 
can we please say all about what the books we are reading are about?

btw,just wondering,has anyone read either of Garth Nix's stand alone books?(shades children and ragwitch?)
 
Started this some hours ago, damn!:eek: I'd forgot how good he is... ;)

Impatient are we?

I am reading The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. 7th book should be out in 2009:)

I'm reading Child 44, but after that, I'll be going back to the Outlander Series. I have the first two in paper, but have decided to buy them for my Kindle. I seem to be reading faster with it.
 
I am reading The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.
Originally written for children, I'm finding them a really entertaining read. They are about kids (of course), good versus evil, magic, and other worlds.

In Lewis's preferred reading order (not the order published):
1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

Some characters change from book to book, but a couple of the most enduring are Aslan the Lion and White Witch. I am about to begin the second book.

I have mine in my bedroom, nobody dares touches them without permission!
I was thinking of framing them. Especially the signed one.(I am a nut , I know):)
 
Nothing wrong with Harry Potter, and I'm not convinced about JKR being a bitch, but of course if you actually know her....

I've just finished the Rose of York series by Sandra Worth and am about to embark on the Sano Ichiro series by Laura Joh Rowland.

Those AJ Hartley books look good. This forum is doing awful things to my bank balance...
 
i dont know her personally,but ive read things about it,and i know someone who is a freind of someone who has met her,and he says that his friend says that shes perfectly happy to suck up to the people who are makking her millions,but that she really isnt nice afterwards,apparently the freind of my freind asked one thing about the seiries that he didnt like(or something like that),and then she became quite cold and everthing and implied one or two insults

my freind might be lying,or the story might have changed over the retellings,but the mate im talking about is 3 years older than me,and his freind is 2 years older then him

also shes claiming that she spent 17 hard years on harry potter,when actually quite a few of those years where just reading other books and stealing thier plot

theres nothing wrong with stealing plots and stuff,as long as its not EXACTLY the same as long as they admit it
