Long time no post, but I was looking in the forum out of curiosity to see what people were talking about and saw this thread.  Since I have become an avid reader, I thought I'd share....

In the last couple of weeks, these have been on my plate:

I finally finished book 5 of the Game of Thrones series.  It took me nearly 3 years to read the entire series.  I mainly only read while on vacations, with very rare readings in the evenings after work or sometimes on weekends.  I used to be a voracious reader back when i was younger, but hardly ever read any more.

I read a lot, and it took me the best part of a year to read those books. I did have to read something else between volumes though.

Great story that, and what a bastard the invisible man is!

Inspired by our most recent reviewers challenge, I am reading this:
http://www.feedbooks.com/book/10/oblomov

It's a free .epub download because it's old and long out of copyright.

And I have to say, I like it a lot more than the band.

It's pretty confusing so far, as there isn't really any explanation why the main character is seeing the supernatural and it's implied that she's "dead" but not. I'm hoping there's more explanation as it progresses.

Finally finished this, it was a bit confusing at first but it certainly picked up the pace and explained things better. It got really suspenseful as it progressed, and I really loved it in the end despite the kind of slow start. Apparently it's the first book in a series, so until I get the next one I'm reading another I.J. Parker novel:

^Pausing The Hell Screen to read the second Greywalker book:

Damn, this is such a great series so far. I highly recommend it to fans of mystery/psychological horror.

^Ever read The Wheel of Time series? I own the first book, as well the video game. I haven't started reading it yet, but the game has a really good medieval-esque fantasy setting. That might be something up your alley.

Right now I'm finishing this:

I've been binge-reading quite a bit these past two weeks, but I'll just post what I've been reading for my own leisure rather than in preparation for my classes next year:
