Just got the first Witcher novel to be translated into English, and The Name Of The Wind, which is large enough to keep even me usy for a while! ;D
I'll be quite fascinated to see how the Witcher stories read after enjoying the game so much.

Well, I can honestly say that The Name Of the Wind is the best book I have read in many many years. Thoroughly recommended. Just plain awesome. Author is Patrick Rothfuss, if you want to check it out

I'm reading a book about witchcraft and witchery in Flanders over the centuries. The book is written by a Flemmish writer Ferdinand Vanhemelrijck and is titled "The fight with the devil, witches in Flanders" Very interesting book, the writer seems to be neutral in his book, so he chooses no sides pro or contra.

I just finished the Twilight series, and am reading again. I can't wait till the new book, and the movie is out. I'm getting obsessed, almost as bad as Harry Potter. If you haven't read it. You should. Everyone I know who's read it loved it. And I know a lot of people. ^_^

Right now reading what I'm typing. Within the next hour I will be reading something about plotting roads in ArcGis (my holiday-job). This evening I will be reading the newspaper and the PCGameplay magazine. And one of these days I will start reading Unfinished Tales by Tolkien (and his son).

We are up to Feast for Crows, which is half the book. Dance with Dragons covers the same time-frame, but with the other half of the characters. still - caught up on the Jim Butcher Dresden and Fury books while I'm waiting!

Yeah that would suck.
Now I'm reading a book called The Billionaire's Vinegar, by Benjamin Wallace. It's a true story about the mystery about the world's most expensive bottle of wine.
And yes, I realize only a spoiled white teenager would think this is interesting. =/
