Currently reading Star Wars Legacy of the Force: Betrayal. Picked up SW Dynasty of Evil in paperback and look forward to finishing off the Darth Bane trilogy when I'm done with Betrayal.

I'm half way through James Ellroy's "American Tabloid" which is a fictional take on the Kennedy assassination, written in that fast paced crime noir dialogue. It's a great read full of action, but man is it hard keeping up with all the politcal connections and motivations.
See you in another life, brother!

I've dived into the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher.

I've read Storm Front and Fool Moon and have recently started Grave Peril . . . they are quite enjoyable so far. Though I'm not a big fan of the way Michael Carpenter is introduced in the book. I feel like I'm supposed to just know who he is already.

I bought The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for my wife and it's still sitting on her night stand...of course, I do have her reading Sandman and Scott Pilgrim.

They do . . . but they do it in a very round about way.

It's hard to explain, but I've spent more than 50% of the book wondering if I skipped a book in the series.

Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. I'm really enjoying these Dresden Files books.

I finished Surface Detail, it was a lot of fun, I do love the personality that all of the space ships have in the Culture.

Now onto Naming of The Beats (last?) most recent of Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels.

I just finished another Dresden Files book, Death Masks. I do have the next one, Blood Rights, but I may give Harry Dresden a bit of a rest and move on to Fletch by Gregory McDonald.

Just began The Last Templar..... Not sure if it is a read for me but a friend recommended so I'm trying to stick with it. Its not that it is bad it just seems to remind of some previous stuff.

I finished Fletch, which was really good. Now I'm deep into Blood Rites, a Dresden Files book by Jim Butcher.

Read Star Wars: Dynasty of Evil over the weekend. Felt weaker than the first 2 parts of the Darth Bane trilogy, but it was still enjoyable. I wonder if they're gonna do a series on Darth Zannah.

Recently I read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins which was a phenomenal sci-fi story. I am really looking forward to the two sequels. Next I read "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card which was another very good sci-fi story. I am currently reading "The Girl Who Played With Fire" by Stieg Larsson which is the second in the Millenium Trilogy (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) is the first in the series.

Been hitting up the audio books as of late (that counts as reading right?). Graphic Audio does the DC books right, recently finished Crisis, Infinite Crisis, 52 and now on Countdown with Final Crisis next.
