Also want to read Frankenstein, On the Oceans of Eternity, Prince of Thorns and Double Indemnity.

Therefore, I will be reading Inheritance and Assassin's Apprentice because I moved into college when this book launched and was unable to get a copy.

And apart form the official pick, I am declaring September to be Abercrombie month for me. I've been looking forward to reading his stuff for so long - so I intend to polish of all his books this month starting with The Blade Itself

Dresden gets much more serious as the series goes on. Still great though.

Once I finish Foundation for the club I plan to read In the House of the Wicked the latest book in the Remy Chandler series. It's part of my "guilty pleasure" reading. Something I expect little from in the way of depth, but is a quick and amusing break from the heavier stuff I usually read.

With tentacles? I've seen anime like that.
Im reading the third installment in the farseer trilogy Assassins quest which im loving it is taking me a long time to read though im not sure why, im trying not to keep looking at the percentage and not make it about finishing and rather about just enjoying it no matter how long it takes, I get a bit ocd with that. When thats finished im then going sci fi, I havnt read alot of scifi so im going to read snow crash, oldmans war and enders game, if all goes to plan.

Jurassic Park is my favorite of Crichton's books. Have fun!

Is it wrong to be grim while laughing so hard.

In text, I'm almost done with Talulla Rising, the sequel to The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan. I highly recommend these books for a literary take on werewolves. I'm also almost done with This Is Not a Game by Walter Jon Williams.
I have no idea what's next. It will depend on my mood.

May want to slip other books in between, I tried doing them all at once and couldn't do it. Grew tired of the world after a couple of books. Ended up doing one a month.
Finished listening to The Hammer and the Blade by Paul S. Kemp. Fun read. Reminiscent of old sword and sworcery adventures, reminded me of some D&D adventures I played.
Next up is The Dwarves by Markus Heitz.

Other than this month's official pick, I'm making my way through Black Heart (Curseworkers #3), Assassins in Love--another romance novel I saw on Felicia Day's feed that's better science fiction than a lot of science fiction, and the first Sandman Slim book my girlfriend's been pushing me to read.

Finishing up the short story collection Federations. With three stories to go I found it to be a mixed bag. Also reading the Oct/Nov issue of Asimov SF magazine.
I have read Foundation several time and not really in the mood for it now so I'll pass on reading it again.

I started on Foundation this morning. I plan on starting The Algebraist this evening.
I'm really trying to keep reading Time Enough for Love since a friend gave it to me as a gift, but boy-oh-boy is it ever a struggle.
