The mind transcends the body. It's also a little cold because of that. Please get it a blanket. I wish I could read your mind, I can barely read mine. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."
"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Took a quick pause from Wheel of Time and re-read Redwall before picking up Path of Daggers
Brandon Sanderson, the guy who is writing the new Wheel of Time books, also wrote the Mistborn trilogy which is very much worth picking up. It is just as good as the first few books of the wheel of time and much better then 6-9 Just finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. In 5 hours.
Now glowy.

I'm now done with the Dresden Files series (all of it, except for Welcome to the Jungle, which is hell to get my hands on). Ordered the I Ching and the Art of War online and waiting to get it delivered.

I just picked up Wind Up Bird Chronicles on the recommendation of my girlfriend, not my usual cup of tea but I'm enjoying it. It's fantastically translated.

I dont read per se, they are to time consuming. I've gone completely over to audio novels. They let me multitask as I enjoy the novel. I find them to be just much more practical. Its one less then to carry around. Its one less thing to forgot.
I can listen as I walk, play video games (well some. TF2 is favorite of mine right now.)
That said, I finish listening to Seymour the Fractal Car, a radio play. Fantastic. I recently finished Old Man's War. Great novel, well paced very tight. I like many of you, I also completed Ghost Story.
I really enjoyed Ghost Story, but it really crowded. I felt that the novel, didnt really allow itself time to breath. The villain of the novel, and her LT, were given almost no time. It felt like, that their confrontation, was almost rushed. The confrontation between Dresden and the villain, was good. I dont know, I think there was close to novel worth of content in here. Maybe Jim was trying to catch up in being a novel or so behind.
I freaken cried during the epilogue where Dresden was checking up on what his dog was up to. Though, I felt having that come after the scene with brother, and their unicorn, was weird.

i frequently use audio books also, its lots slower, but way easy, almost mindless.
