I'm about halfway through The Drawing of the Three, second in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I can't believe I haven't read these before now, they are incredible! The first book was a little tough to get into initially, but I am totally hooked now.

Currently reading Dune Messiah,

I have also been reading all the new Brian Herbert DUNE novels and have really liked them.

One of my favorite book series! Dude; you are in for a fun ride! And as a plus, you don't have to wait for years and years between volumes! :)

I just discovered a great comic called Knights of the Dinner Table.  It's been hilariously funny so far, all about the made up adventures of a group of gamers playing Dungeons and Dragons together.  I love it, and can't believe I haven't heard of it till now.

This one might just be the best of the series.  The following two are very good as well, then they get a bit less good in my opinion.

Just read the 2 latest issues of The Avengers comics #12 & #12.1 also read the Marvel Illustrated "The Man In The Iron Mask." They did a few of these based on other classic novels. I hope to read those as well.

Just crammed the first 4 Game of Thrones books on my iphone Kindle app, now stuck waiting for the 5th one!

I'll say this the plot is exhausting
If you can remain calm when all around you are panicking, you probably didn't understand the question

Is Game Of Thrones (the book) good? I've been looking for a book for my iPad and can't decide on what to get...

The audio version is amazing, can't speak to the 'standard' book :)

Read a Thor graphic novel and still need to finish The Reds: Wire to Wire.
Also was able to hit the Bargain Box (50 cent comics) again after seeing the THOR movie yesterday.
Picked up Batman: The Blue, The Grey, and the Bat graphic novel, 3 issues of the Beauty and the Beast 4 parter I already had 1 issue, Captain America #50 from Feb. 2002, 8 Dazzler, 2 GI Joe, 6 Justice League America, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters - Scoundrel's Wages, and 2 Superman.
I also got a free comic at the Thor movie that the local shop left at the theater. Its for the Free Comic Book Day Captain America & Thor - The Mighty Fighting Avengers. Reminds me of an older art style.
