Adding some more...

Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer. First nonfiction book I've read in awhile.

Dog Days, John Levitt. Urban fantasy, not usually my thing but the author is part of the writing forum I frequent and it looked interested enough to try. I wasn't disappointed.

New Tricks, John Levitt. Sequel of the above. Good, fast-paced reads.

The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins. Post-apocalyptic world meets modern reality show.

Catching Fire, Suzanne Collins. Sequel, now with higher stakes and hints of something much larger going on.

Still not reading nearly as much as I should be but once the cold weather sets in I intend to be doing a lot more of it.

Ho-ly shite people. Dracula is absolutely amazing. As i read each classic piece of literature like this, I ask myself why I didn't read this sooner in my life. The way Stoker tells the story entirely through journals of the characters is brilliant! I've never read anything quite like it, and I imagine you have not, either. Do yourself a favor and read it. Right now. I don't want to hear excuses why you can't. Or won't.

Besides, its freaking DRACULA. This is before vampires became all emo and mainstream. Thank you, Twilight.

Dracula is amazing. =P I read it for the first time when I was ten, and since I've built up a collection of six copies. xD. I'm actually re-reading it at the moment for an assignment, but I just about know it cover-to-cover, off by heart.

And indeed... Twifags, read Dracula and get a grip. It makes me sad when I see people saying that Twilight is the new Dracula. [Particularly when I know very, very few people who've read both.]

Okey dokey let me see the latest series i have just finished is 'Soldiers Son trilogy' by Robin Hobb i absolutely love her series such as Farseer trilogy, Liveship traders and The Tawny man trilogy she has a new series out called The Rainwilders trilogy which is sort of a branch off from The Liveship Traders bt i think i will wait till all of the series is out so i don't have to wait.

Anywho back to the topic I just finished Soldiers son Trilogy and it was awesome I love Robins series because she centers around one character like most authors but she also starts the series from when the are young so the series are always following this main character through their life and the trials etc the face through out their journey and of course she throws some magic in and the main character is always torn between different choices that can change everything.

For example Nevare grows up as a new nobles son his father was the soldier son to his father but was then granted nobility for acts in war and in this religion the first son of a noble is the heir to the estate etc the second is the soldier and the third the priest any way Nevare is his fathers pride and joy and is going to follow him into the famed ranks of the Cavala (Cavalier) soldiers until an encounter with a native of the lands that can delve into the magics of the lands. Once an enemy of Nevares people Dewara leads Nevare on a quest to rid the Plainspeople another native people who also use the magic but Nevare doesn't encounter what he expected and from that day forth the magic has claimed him as its tool to use to rid the Specks of Nevares people (Gernians0 from the specks doorstep as the Gernians strive to drive a road throw the Specks land and ultimately destroying their forests and ancestors in which their spirits reside in the trees. And so the battle begins not on the outside but on the inside as two different sides of Nevare strive to serve each ones people.

Furies of Calderon
Academ's Fury

Both are part of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series, books 1 and 2, respectively. While I've not read his far more popular Harry Dresden books, this one is quickly becoming a favorite. I've already ordered the next three books with the intention of reading them as soon as they get in the door. My only real complaint so far is that it's far too easy to see where he's going with certain characters. There's also a lot of 'saved at the last moment' going on which I'm not overly fond of.

Overall though, very good reads. I really love how Butcher isn't relying on the standard milieu of fantasy beasts and races. I love the classics but lately I've been leaning more towards the original and lesser used concepts.
