    Eh, if you ask me, you're a long way from too much. Granted, I may not be the best to ask.

    My reading's been dropping off lately, though. Of books, at least.
    Magic's Pawn - Mercedes Lackey
    1634: The Galileo Affair - Eric Flint and Andrew Dennis
    Fruits Basket Volume 10 - Natsuki Takaya

    And I'm still reading A New History of Korea, which I mentioned a while ago.

    I've run out of books, and I can't get out to buy any new ones for at least two weeks. So, in the meantime I'm re-reading Wizard's First Rule.

    No, I do read too much. This was a slow week.
    I tend to finish 8-10 400+ page books a week.
    BTW, add 2 more to my count, Psychic Academy Vol. 5 & 6.

    This is on top of college.

    How was 1634: The Galileo Affair?

    Moderate. A bit light, frankly, but still amusing. I do look forward to the next in the series.

    Well, I suppose you do have me beat, even if I still don't believe there's such a thing as too much reading. Ah, if it were as it was back in high school, I might have given you a run for your money (well, I might have had a shot at it), but I sort of finished off most of the books in the local county library I was interested in by the time I graduated.

    Besides, they didn't have nearly enough Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mercedes Lackey, or Anne McCaffrey, and neither my wallet nor my bookcase are quite big enough yet to handle it.

    I know the feeling. The Last Herald Mage (Single book, contains Magic's Pawn, Promise, & Price) was the 1st book I ever checked out of the library. Afterwards, I quickly finished the rest of Mercedes Lackey's books, followed by most of Andre Norton, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mickey Zucker Reichart (author of my sig quote), Tanya Huff, Jane Lindskold, and L. E. Modesett.

    Not much I like left over there.

    Absolutely psyched. Getting to read The 9/11 Commission Report for a book review for my Dept. Journal which is ultra cool. Looking forward to it.

    Lol I can't read more than one book at a time, because I don't take read much in the day anyway as i'm mostly playing video games and posting on here, and I savour the story of just that one book instead of juggling between 2 stories so i don't want to make the decision to read either one of the books I am both enjoying.

    LOTR is allright but it's a bit pedantic , as in its slow and takes a while to get into, they used to describe way too much stuff in those days.
