    This. I recently finished REAMDE and it was great but I kept thinking that one day that story will be told in 1.5h movie and they'll be able to get across many of the ideas, so he is procrastinating at times.
    I've read his every book anyway

      I've read all but the latest one (Dances With Dragons?) - they are weighty and do ramble at times, but the action is good, as is the story.

      I'm waiting until he publishes the last book before I re-read the whole series - Dances with Dragons was published nearly 3 years after the previous one - bit of a bloody wait!

        Lee Child - Worth Dying For - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worth_Dying_For_(novel)

        Not as good as Killing Floor - his opening Novel.

          Just finished "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which has been massive on Amazon for ages (apparently there's a film too).
          Not bad.

          Probably going to read some of the free classics on my Kindle next, Dickens or Verne.

          Am still slowly working through House of Leaves, which is good but rather tiring.

                  Sorry I thought this was a thread for everyone, not just posers.

                  If I read it in the original Swedish presumably that would be OK?

                    Just read JM Coetzee's 'Disgrace'. Set in and around Grahamstown where I went to school. Quite a thought provoking book.

                    Trying my first Philip Roth at the moment with "The Human Stain".

                      You too? I don't normally bother with READMEs, but had no choice the other day when I couldn't for the life of me get a linux driver to build.
