mega thread What book are you reading?

[Fluttershutter 2,536]

I'm reading Swan Song by Robert McCammon.

 If you've read The Stand by Stephen King it's very similar. But that's a good thing. It's long and I'm only about 100 pages in but it's great so far!

Finished up Summer Knight at work, the last in a four audio book binge from the Dresden Files. Which is basically Harry Potter, if he became a hard boiled detective. 

I know there are many more books after this, but I liked how this one ended. Felt like if The Chronicles of Narnia was also a murder mystery and political conspiracy film. Though out of the four I've read, I prefer the second, Fool Moon. Cause its about werewolves. Like, all the werewolves. Name a kind of werewolf, It's gonna be in there. And there all waging gang wars on one another. 

And you can listen to them all here!

The next book in the series is done! You've probably got about a year to catch up before it comes out.

I've nearly finished going over the new material in the rivers and expanded edition of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. I've also been reading The Art of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim by Daniel Falconer. 

I've just ordered a copy of the novel LexCorp by Elliot S! Maggin (Superman: Last Son of Krypton; Miracle Monday). Maggin also wrote the prose novelization of the graphic novel Kingdom Come. 

Quote

I never set out to get rich and don't much care whether or not I stay that way. Really. Wealth is a tool, like a hammer or a patent. It was just that when I get an idea in my head – and I have a galaxy's worth of ideas – I generally figure out how to make it real.
"Abra Kadabra!" as they say in Aramaic.
"Lex, how much money do you have, really?" a girl I met once asked me.
"All of it," I told her. That was true.
