What book was it that did this for you, SE?  It's only been about two years since I even broke into the "I-can-put-a-book-
down-and-walk-away-from-it-if-I-can't-handle-any-more-of-it" club.  Malazan two was my breaker.

Rusalka by C. J. Cherryh.  I really like the writing (this is the first Cherryh I've read) but I'm not far enough in to decide on the plot.

heh, actually, I don't have that strength and commitment. Even after it took me two months to read the first 30 pages of Eye of the World, I came back and forced myself through the whole thing.

I almost gave up on The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Klay, due to rampant homosexuality on display, but even in my disgust I couldn't. And I'm sorta glad I didn't. There was actually a purpose to it all, though the necessity is arguable. It's a very good argument about sidekicks.

Very recently finished HP7.  It was ok.  I wish I had my copy of Mistborn 2 with me, though, so I could read something good.

Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik. About halfway through, so expect a review soon! (P.S. I'm enjoying it.)

I'm reading Well of Ascension for a third time , and I've been trying to get my copy of Feast of Souls back from my sister for a while now. Once I've finished those, Hunter of Worlds and Goblin Quest.

Lord of Chaos (Book 6 of Wheel ot Time series) by Robert Jordan

I'm rereading them all before I start Knife of Dreams (yes, I'm behind in the series).  Lord of Chaos is my least favorite one in the series but I'm finding it so much more enjoyable now that I realize it's his writing and that someone else is going to have to finish the series.  I guess I'm just enjoying it while I can.  Hopefully whoever ends the series will be just as entertaining and engaging.  (And no I'm not going to get into the debate about the value of RJ's writings.)

Reading New Moon (Stephenie Meyer) and Mainspring (Jay Lake) right now.  New moon is simplistic and decent.  Not sure how I feel about Mainspring.  Hoping it gets better mostly.   Read Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit by Storm Constantine not too far back.  That was interesting.  Still need to get to Evil for Evil by KJ Parker.

Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley by Alison Weir.  She's one of my favorite historical writers.  Even though this book is long, it is so readable.

I'm kind of shifting between a couple of different books.

I'm flipping through parts of Forging the Sword by Hilari Bell and I've still got to finish Scarlet by Stephen Lawhead. I'm trying to keep my gag reflex down to read Innocent Mage because I bought both books because I thought the covers looked so freaking awesome I had to buy them without actually reading an exerpt. Green Rider and The Beatles Biography by Bob Spitz (Which is only slow going because it's so huge but a good read)

Oh, Haha! I was reading The Innocent Mage. I actually kind of liked it, until the end, and then I didn't even finished it(30 pages to go, how sad is that?) The characters were the most interesting thing. There wasn't really any plot, and when there was, that's when I started to dislike it, actually. I find it all quite funny.

Let's see, I'm reading New Moon, my loving sister actually went out and bought it for me when I was feeling sick! How sweet! And Flowers For Algernon. Awesome book!

So, I've heard both good comments and bad about Innocent Mage.  Don't know if I'll end up reading that one or not.  Currently into:
     Sword from Red Ice by JV Jones
     Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
     Turn of the Screw by Henry James
     WotF #19
Need to start Gunslinger by Stephen King here pretty soon too, for my book club.
