[MENTION=4225]Twice[/MENTION] - how long did it take you to read the Song of Ice and Fire books? I've been waiting patiently for my husband to finish the first book so I can read it, and he is taking FOR.EV.ER!
I'm reading the Millenium Triolgy now. When I finish that, I'll just steal Game of Thrones from him, I'm tried of waiting. :)

I think it took me maybe 3 months to read through all 5 books the first time. Double that on the second read because I paid closer attention and it all made much more sense. GRRM like to hide little clues in his pages then ask questions later.

There are expected to be 2 more books to the series. I just hope GRRM lives long enough to finish them (the man isn't a spring chicken anymore). By his own admission "I am 62 years old, fat, out of shape, and I don't eat a healty diet."

It took him 5 years to write Feast for Crows and 7 to finish Dance with Dragons :(

I enjoyed THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy!

I am on book 3. @Libra926 mentioned Hunger Games a long time ago and I am just now getting to it. I like it a lot more than I thought.

My next will be Shades of Grey! finally all three in Paperback at Sam's Wholesale club.

I'm on book one of The Hunger Games...brought it to Florida with me thinking it would be a good holiday read..OMG! I don't want to put it down..not good when on an all go, action packed vacation :lol:

Other books I've enjoyed are...
ALL the Harry Potter books...I have the whole seriese in paper back, hard back, leather bound and Audio :eek: and have read them at least 5 times :eek: :eek:.

Patricia Cornwell..Scarpetta seriese..they're amazing books a bit gruesome at times but a great read.
Sophie Kinsella..shopaholic books are good light reading and she has written others that are better, such as Twenties Girl.

and other recent reads are A-Z of Gastroenterology, Caring for the Cancer Patient, and a constant flick through on my desk is Totora and Grabowski..Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body :D

[MENTION=4225]Twice[/MENTION] - You are right. It's not a "step by step" training book, is it? I enjoyed the hell out of them.

[MENTION=1648]Lucy-licious[/MENTION], I have all the Scarpetta books, loved them and read them years ago. I actually am going to start up from book one again real soon.

I wish I had know you were reading the Hunger Games, I would have brought book 2 for you to take home.
