It's on my to be read list. Hopefully in 2020.
Re: What are you reading currently?
For myself, still working on Oliver Twist, a biography of Dashiell Hammet, and now the sequel to The Knight (it's called The Wizard).
Re: What are you reading currently?
Working my way through the Witcher books. Currently on The Tower of Swallows

I highly recommend reading the first two books of short stories before starting the novels. The 1st season on Netflix pulls from the short stories.
Reading Order:
(Short Story collections)
1) Last Wish
2) Sword of Destiny
(Novels)
1) Blood of Elves
2) Time of Contempt
3) Baptism of Fire
4) Tower of Swallows
5) Lady of the Lake
6) Season of Storms (takes place before book 1, Blood of Elves, but I've been told it's best to read last)

Thanks!
Re: What are you reading currently?
I started Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. And I've almost finished a little paperback by Piers Anthony called Prostho Plus that's a little goofy, but probably the light read that I've needed this week.
Finished book 3 of LOTR with my middle kid (probably my favorite section) so we've hit the halfway point.
I wrapped The Silmarillion right after the new year. Liked it better than I thought I would.

Re: What are you reading currently?
I will have to remember this thread when my kids are grown and gone and I have time to read again. Outside of a little BBB and news articles, I can’t seem to get any reading in.

Audiobooks changed the game for me. It’s amazing what you can get for free through hoopla and overdrive with a library card.

I could listen at home. My drive is less than 2 miles for work.
Re: What are you reading currently?
Still working on Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. In the meantime, I've almost finished Shark Drunk. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I'm enjoying it.
Re: What are you reading currently?
Just finished the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King. Good stuff...sort of prequels to The Outsider.
Re: What are you reading currently?
Just finished reading It for the first time.
On to The Stand...probably a mistake, but it seems appropriate.
