Have faith in yourself. I've got some monterously long reads coming up and I am still feeling pretty good about my goal. You were flyin' through some books there for a while.

4/10/2012 8:34:12 PM

11) Triumph of the City -- Edward Glaesar - meh
12) Warrior Race -- Lawrence James - The thesis is either that the British have won a lot of wars because they were so drunk, or in spite of being so drunk. I'm still not sure.

4/10/2012 9:02:20 PM

I was curious about Warrior Race. Looked interesting. Also, judging by your list, might I suggest the Black Company series by Glen Cook. It is a fantasy book series that follows a mercenary company that sell their services to all sides. The main themes in the books are based on comradary and a strict sense of honor,and determination oh and don't forget revenge.

there are free sources for the fifty shades books


just sayin

Biggest hurdle has been finding a sitting/reading position that feels comfortable with me new ebook reader. Has been nice to be able to get some classics I've never read on it and re-read some of my favories I hadn't re-read since I lent them out.

Suggestions for new books? (besides the The Hunger Games or the latest George RR Martin book, that's next)

my boyfriend keeps trying to get me to read World War Z. Not sure if I'd like it though

It's been good so far. I'm just a few chapters in, and it still reads pretty disjointedly. So, I'm not sure if that clears up or not as it goes on, but the story moves along pretty quickly.
