Started the 4th Wheel of Time book, Wizard and Glass on my Kindle. Pretty cool so far!

Interesting, the fourth book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King is also called Wizard and Glass.  I wonder if there's a connection, I'd think there has to be.

And audio-wise I'm finally up to a Dance With Dragons. Don't know what I'm going to do once I'm done with that!!

LOL. My bad, I meant Dark Tower...not WoT.

Ha ha, I've never read the Wheel of Time series, though I have a few of the first books ready to go for my iPad.  I've been putting them off because of the unfinished story and the massive number of books. Do you think I should dive in anyway?

Tried Wheel of Time, can't do it. High fantasy is not my thing, I haven't read all the LOTR books either, I've gotten 3/4 of the way through Two Towers and that was very tough.

I stalled out at about book six or seven for Wheel of Time.  Nothing was happening. It started out so great and then just fizzled, I thought.  Although others have said it picks up eventually.

I am actually current on the wheel of time.  I like it, but that is one milked out series.  Actually now that I have totally gotten into GRRM, I am off Wheel of Time a bit - but I will read the last book when it comes out.
I am about 2/3 of the way through Feast of Crows.

http://www.w3schools.com will save you're life in classes like that. It's so hard to remember all the tags and attributes, and you can just look them up in the HTML references. From someone who has done several web programming classes it's a lot of help.

Ah and what am I reading? Well... my BodyAttack Choreography Booklet is about all I can read at the moment cause I have to learn the whole release. Then I'm gonna finish "Survive!" by Les "Survivorman" Stroud.

Finished Batman: Hushed Unwrapped. This was a great book! This gets a rating of 10+!! It was all black and white showing of the art of Jim Lee. What was really cool was there were some notes written on some of the pages. One panel showed a clock with no time and somebody wrote a note saying "What time?" A must read if your a Batman fan. This was originally released earlier but the the unwrapped version came out in 2011.
Also read Superman/Supergirl Maelstrom - 9. Good story by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. Art style was a little different than I like but the story made up for it.

Just started reading Septimus Heap. That's such a great name, Septimus. I remember that name from "Stardust." I love that movie.

Right now reading "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman...so far really enjoying it, it's pretty much Harry Potter for grown ups (no offense to you Potter fanatics here). I'm really liking it a lot. There's a second book in the series as well.  Good stuff.
