I've been trying to read a lot more lately. I made a New Year's resolution to try and read 40 books this year..so far I'm at 9.
I've read...
All 6 Harry Potter books Bridge to Terabithia Rise of Hannibal Spiderwick series..kids books but I like adventure books and they're good. Wild at Heart..interesting book kinda deals with what it is to be a man and things I'm going through right now..should read it if you can.
Books I bought but haven't got to yet.. Splitner Cell Checkmate Casino Royal..Bond His Dark Materials Neverending Story Memory and a Dream Stephen King Gunslinger Wizard of Earthsea Labyrinth Earth Art and Fear What the Budda taught..don't belive in it but I'm going to start studying every religion..cause If one is to understand the great mystery one must study all it's aspects,not just the dogmatic narrow view of the jedi..right?
I was reading a book a week but it stop this month..hopefully I get back on track and get those others check off my list.
So what are you guys reading or have read that's any good, favorites?

Wow. The last book I read was "Shopgirl" by Steve Martin (yes, the actor/comedian). It was a really good book and then I watched the movie. I really disliked the adaptation of the movie. Book is wayyyyyyy much better.
Oh, I just finished How To Self-Publish Comics...Not Just Create Them by Josh Blaylock. Good material. He throws his two cents in and y'know what? they are pretty interesting.
As for books, though, I too am like yoou, Madman!. I do not read that much but I want to. That Wild at Heart book sounds like it might be worth a read. Hmmmm.....
Oh, as for the number of books I read this year...it is now up to 1. Ha.

I love to read. However, between School, Work, Scouts, my children, my wife, the house and my church, I have little time left to read just for fun any more. If I’m reading then it is probably a textbook, lesson plan, child’s story, or scriptures. If I ever see a or hear of a book that I think would be a good read a buy it and put it on my book shelf. Right now I think that I have 15 or 20 books that I need to read. Terry brooks is up there along with a few other fantasy writers. I think I have The Art of War up there as well. If I ever get the chance to read them I will let you know.

I used to read just textbooks how to use Photoshop, html, etc now I'm really trying to read books that have stories.
I'm starting to read a lot of books on Greek Myths ever since I played God of War. I'm really interested in the Greek myths now. That's kinda weird that a video game made me want to read a book.

I have been reading nothing but text books over the last three months. I’m really ready for a break!
