I usually have about 20-30 books stacked around my room waiting to be read, so to make sure I can get it done promptly (within a year or two) I usually read 2 or 3 books at time, which unlike what your thinking is essentially me picking up a book and reading about as much as I can, then another, and another, etc until I can finish them in that order. Its mind boggling but my memory is so keen that I don't really mix up any of the details from any of the stories.

- Homeward Bound by James Axler
- The Bones of Giants by Christopher Golden
- On Earth As It Is In Hell by Brian Hodge
- Morningtide by Cory J. Herndon and Scott McGough

On deck:

- Pony Soldiers by James Axler
-Unnatural Selection by Tim Lebbon
-The God Machine by Thomas E. Snegoski
- Hellboy Volume 3: The Chained Coffin and Others by Mike Mignola
-Conan The Freebooter by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague De Camp
-The Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. Perry
-The other 80 Deathlands books written partially by Axler and the rest ghost written by an entire legion of fans and writers, including the Outlander miniseries (20-30 books in itself?)
-The rest of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian short stories.
-Anything on Hellboy or the B.P.R.D. I can find..

So I guess I won't be running out of anything any time soon. ;)

[Letho]

Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I've been reading that book for about... four months or so, mostly while I'm on the toilet. I read one chapter every time I need to go. Yeah, it makes the reading kind of slow unless you have diarrhea.

If you're one of the people who actually enjoyed Blackstaff, I'm mugging you. With a floorlamp. >_>

Currently: Dresden Files #5: Death Masks. Kind of slow going since Butcher abuses his characters a little bit too much for my tastes.

Next Up: Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time.

[Bevel]

The Meteor Hunt by Jules Verne. Go figure.

One of these days I'll actually get around to reading the Discworld books. One of these days.

[Witchblade]

The Blood Books by Tanya Huff when I actually find the time to read.

You kidding me? I had to stop 3/5ths of the way in so I wouldn't kill myself with boredom. I mean, the prologue was the highpoint in that book, and it was all downhill from there. I try to finish every book I start to read, even if I'm bored out the balls with it, but that one....I just can't.

Books I forgot to add to the queue:
Three Kingdoms by Some Chinese Guy
A Journey to the West by Wu Cheng En[sp?]
Shadowrealm by Paul S. Kemp
Devil's Cape by Rob Rogers
The Darkwood Mask by Jeff LaSala

You kidding me? I had to stop 3/5ths of the way in so I wouldn't kill myself with boredom. I mean, the prologue was the highpoint in that book, and it was all downhill from there. I try to finish every book I start to read, even if I'm bored out the balls with it, but that one....I just can't.I couldn't get further than nine pages into it.

Then I threw the book down. Later on, I just plain threw it out. >_>

[Raelyse]

I'm about to go to university, so I'm mostly reading background texts to try and get myself prepared. However, I am dying to get my hands on The Orc King by Salvatore and I'm trying my best to find time for Pratchett's newest, Making Money.

But to be honest, I love writing so much more.

[None So Blind]

LOL Letho... OMG.

Anyway.

Currently: The Watcher by Jeanne C. Stein
10 Real SATs by.....some people. The College Board? I think.

Bound By Iron by Edward Bolme

I've read it, and I must say it's good. If you're new to the Eberron books, this is a great book to get started. I'd suggest Night of the Long Shadows by Paul Crilley, (also one in the Inquisitives sub-series) and the The Dragon Below Trilogy by Don Bassingthwaite. The first in the trilogy is by far the best, and I got bored reading through the third one, but I loved the way he ended it, so it made up for it.

I currently started reading Green Rider from Kristen Britain. It just seemed to have an appealing story.

Also, I'm halfway through Terry Goodkind's Pillars of Creation.

[Letho]

Moving on to Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. I'm only through the first couple of chapters, and I have to admit that I don't like it a whole lot so far. I have a feeling that he's either introducing the whole world in which the story takes place extremely slowly or that he has trouble presenting it properly to the reader. But I need something to kill time with while I'm on toilet, so...

[Veatrix]

Terry Pratchett's Maskerade. He's a genius in fantasy-comedy.

[The Prophet]

I'm working on a few different books:

Waking Up Screaming (2nd Readthrough), H.P. Lovecraft

I'd recommend this to anyone, like Letho, who reads on the toilet. It's full of short stories, most under 15 pages long, and they're sure to literally scare the shit out of you.

The Art of Seduction, Robert E. Greene

An interesting read. Explains how both world leaders (JFK, Margaret Thatcher) and famous seducers (Cassanova, for example) worked their magic.

The Alphabet of Maniliness - Maddox

Another good toilet book. No real literary merit, but it's funny as hell.
