Currently, 1984 by George Orwell. I know it's one I should have read before now, but hey.

Next up is Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card.

"He's like fire, and ice, and rage.
He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun.
He's ancient and forever.
He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe.
And... he's wonderful."

Anywho, I haven't read anything in ages, but I want to get back to reading the Wheel of Time series again.

I'm rereading Slaughterhouse 5, because it's awesome. And maybe because I've run out of books to read.

Nope, Farseer trilogy, it's set in the land of the Six Duchy's and is in no way related to Warhammer full stop.

Read the books before watching the show, especially if you plan to discuss it with anyone. GoT is basically nothing but spoilers. If you get the books out of the way first you can just enjoy the show for it's good writing and high production values, without worrying about having the plot twists ruined.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It is my favorite book of all time. Finished it in just over a week while I was on vacation. Now reading it again.

I'm currently reading The Call of Earth 2 by Orson Scott Card and listening to Ready Player Run by Ernest Cline and read by Wil Wheaton.

Now given, I don't do both at the same time (read and listen), I normally only listen to an audio book while driving.

Card has some great books, and the Ender's series are some of them, but I didn't care for this one or the sequel after it. The shadow books are good too I'm told, I've only read the first one.

The Seventh Son books are good as well.

This book was my favorite of the HP series, and I've re-read and listened to the entire series several times.

Heh, Harry Potter. Used to be obsessed with those books. When I was 8, I read the entire first book in a day.

Yes, I certainly recommend most Spike Milligan things to people. He was an incredibly creative and funny man - check out The Goon Show (old radio programme, though I'm sure there'll be stuff about it).
