5) Players handbook II (D&D)
6) Races of the Dragon (D&D)
7) A number of issues of "Dragon" and "Dungeon" magazines.

That is about it for the past week or so. The list gets longer if I post competed books.

I usually read real books during the school year.... but right now I am reading Fullmetal Manga..... And a bit of Naruto.

I'm reading Temeraire: In the service of the King. Very good book so far.

I have about six or seven others I'm reading as well. I have a bad habit of starting a new book in the middle of another. I usually finish them, eventually.

Pretty much flicking through the Manga i own from time to time.
But i finish those in under an hour.
I don't read proper books

im flicking through my old comic books myself, which include sonic the hedgehog, Darkness, and my one piece manga.

I have read the entire Dealing with dragons books and the lord of the rings trilogy, including the hobbit.

im rereading for the fourth or fifth time the folowing:
Wolf brother,House of the scorpion,Sea of trolls,and Eragon all of which are exremely good books especially Sea of trolls

Hmm...the last ten books I've read....

The Warrior Prophet.
Mists of Avalon
Great Expectations.
Atlantis Found
Trojan Odyssey
Abarat
The Golden Compass.
The subtle knife
The amber Spyglass
Dragons of Eden (mind that it's a psychology book.

I got The Golden Compass yesturday.

"Dragons of Eden" that is a great book. I still use the "time line of the universe" in debates with people. Look for "The ghost in the Atom" it is a great book, a lot of science in it but a good read.

As you can see most of my reading is put into role-playing books. I don't feel like posting all of the books I have read for the past while. Just on my bookshelf I have about 150 of them.

Close to a thousand on my shelves...

Wow I have well over three thousand dollars put into my collection. (but a lot of my books are 50+ years old.) You must have really burnt a whole in the wallet for that over the years.

Garage sales. My parents were bibliophiles, as well...

I read:

Eragon

several fanfics online - mostly Harry Potter or The Patriot
The Folk Keeper

Just finished Dragonsinger for my summer book report, but I always have at least two books going. Currently, they are:


Eldest again

The Fellowship of the Ring

Unlocking the meaning of LOST

The LOST magazine, issue six (I need to buy the first four I missed ><)

Dimar: Lost Waters (I've been reading the free online version, but I'm planning on buying my own copy)

Dragonflight (stopped reading it a while ago, but I want to continue)

And that's pretty much it! But I WANT to read Flight of the Phoenix and Jennifer Government....

I have been reading Soraya,
Eragon & Eldest
The Halo Books
Walking with Dragons & Dragonflight
O yea and i was bored and Found How to train your Dragon ^^

But you are a dragon... are you going to train yourself,

Drian: Sit girl

Naird:<Sits>

Drian: GOOD GURL! <gives herself a treat

What I was reading recently:
Blood of the Fold: Sword of Truth (well worth it to see someone raises into glory)
Ender's Games (the first book of a long series, the other books telling what happenned to Ender after book 1 are a bit of an antagonism to the Blood of the Fold...)
Einstein's Dreams (is not exactly the typical book, it more a lot of short story about what would happen if time was different)

Currently reading:
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (I was waiting for the mass market paperback)

Next on the list:
Temple of Wind
Daughter of the Blood


Of course academic books do not count

am currently reading
The historian
The Earthsea quartet

I have the dark elf trilogy to read next from forgotten realms, I read the cleric quintet and like the authors style of writing.

for a bit more of a thought provoking book, i recommend Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.
He's a Japanese author but the book has been translated. it deals with human issues an is set in thie realm no dragons in it I'm sorry. but a darn good read.

everyone should read, his dark materials.
Northern Lights (UK title)
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass.

I read them all in a week, couldn't put them down. I found them much more engaging then Harry Potter, and am looking forward to the movie being made. though the religious aspect of the books is causing a few hold ups.
