I just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye for the first time. Really didn't care for it. Holden Caulfield just isn't a likeable character at all.

Death Falcon Zero vs. The Zombie Slug Lords by William Bitner and Daniel Boyd

It's like a sleazy, low-budget horror movie in novel form. Pretty entertaining stuff.

Little more than three-quarters of the way into The Hobbit so far. It's more readable than its successor, which I never did finish, and just fantastic. Might just be the kick needed to get me reading the trilogy proper.

If you're looking for a funny read, you should try The Complete Bubby Anthology, by B. P. Draper. The writing style is like that of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - funny, but kind of random.

The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht. She was 24 when she wrote it and her writing has a depth and maturity that's lacking in best-selling writers twice (or hell, three times) her age.

I just finished reading Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey. Freaking FANTASTIC book. I'm not even a fan of Sci-Fi and this could have possibly jumped into my top 10 favorite books list. Definately recommend this to whoever wants to give it a shot.

Slash by Slash and Anthony Bozza
Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock by Sammy Hagar and Joel Selvin

As for what's next I don't know. I might by another rock bio but I also have a book about tube guitar amps that I started reading and didn't finish because I just wasn't in the mood to read that kinda book at the time I got it. Who knows I might finally break down and get A Game of Thrones and start the A Song of Fire and Ice series.

I read that last year. I didn't think I'd like it but I ended up really enjoying it.

Reading:

The Two Towers

The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans

Augustus by Anthony Everitt

Just Finished:

Fellowship of the Ring

I'm finding it really hard to get caught up in a book like I used to. Can't seem to find the time. I want to read, but just can't seem to get as much done as I would like.
