What 📔book are you reading right now?

I just finished Star Wars: Survivor's Quest. I'm about to start on the final book in the New Jedi Order: Force Heretic trilogy.
 
I just went to the library! Woot! I'm going to finish Redwall (for continuity's sake) and then start on Sword-born, a novel by Jennifer Roberson. (Or somesuch name.)
 
I liked the Redwall books awhile ago, but they're getting far too predictable. I haven't read the last few that have come out.

I am currently re-reading "Sarah" by Orson Scott Card. 'Tis a veddy veddy good read. Although I SHOULD be reading "A Farewell to Arms"...
 
Re-reading Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett and reading (for the first time) a three-way collaborattion (headed by Melanie Rawn) called The Golden Key. Very interesting.
 
Rereading Prelude to Dune: House Harkonnen by B. Herbert and J. Anderson.
 
I took a three day break from my eternal struggle through Atlas Shrugged (still reading that stupid book ) to read our very own Lonna's Selah of the Summit. Absolutely super book Lonna, thanks a lot. My Amazon review for it shall appear eventually.
 
Still working on The Golden Key (it's a BIG book!) and when I get home, I will be reading the last three pages of The Chosen by Chaim Potok for English.
 
Dumped Dune in favour for Shakespeare’s King John. So far loving it.
 
I'm into LOTR: FOTR for the 5th time. And I'm reading The Rule of Four. Im not sure who the author is though.
 
The list of what I've read in the past month or so:

Lewis Agonistes: How C.S. Lewis can train us to wrestle with the modern and post-modern world - Louis Markos
Faith Beyond Reason - A.W. Tozer
The Pursuit of Common Man - Robert Franck
One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven - Mark Cahill
God's Voice in the Stars
Harry Potter 3,4,5, and 6
The Curse of the Pharaohs - Elizabeth Peters
All my wonderful school books

Will prolly be reading in the near future:
More C.S. Lewis
How Should We Then Live? - Francis Schaeffer
Orthodoxy - G.K. Chesterton
The Question of God - Armand Nicholi Jr
Modern Art and the Death of a Culture - Rookmaaker
The Long War Against God - Henry Morris
Modern Times - Paul Johnson

ummm.... and the rest of the 100 dollars worth of books I bought at Summit.... I have a lot of time waiting around for classes at school.
 
Summer reading:

Last month I finished reading Unfinished Tales, which made for some excellent reading. Now I'm planning to invest in HOME.

But to tide me over I've been reading Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea books. I finished A Wizard of Earthsea this past week when I was on vacation and read The Tombs of Atuan yesterday. I found it absorbing reading and look forward to reading more of her stories. It's not Tolkien but it's great fantasy. I'm glad I didn't catch the miniseries on Sci Fi because I always prefer the books anyway and I hear that the miniseries butchered the Earthsea books. So what else is new?

A book not by Poe called the Chainsaw Man.

By the way a quick announcement: I have stopped writing Horror stories in favor of Comedy.
 
Re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin), re-reading The 13th Warrior (Micheal Crichton), and reading (for the first time) Alternate Histories (an anthology).
 
Re-reading "The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy...One Book To Rule Them
All"......a striking picture of Gandalf on the cover...thru the mist when the light hits it at a certain angle he almost appears lifelike. I have some things bothering me which need clarification.
Also started another book "Power vs Force" by David R. Hawkins, M.D.,Ph.D.
