I'm a member of the Book of the Month Club 2 so I get a book a month for 9.95 no shipping or handling charge. I'm about to drop my membership after the next book. I'm retired, but actually read less now than I did when I worked. Go figure.

My wife says she's afraid "my queue" will topple over and someone will get hurt…

I don't usually plan that far ahead.

You've asked at kind of an atypical/awkward/embarrassing time. My queue is:

Ten North Frederick by John O'Hara
Clubbed to Death by Elaine Viets

Algernon Sidney and The English Republic 1623-1677

Algernon Sidney and the Restoration Crisis 1677-1683

After that it is a biography of Shaftesbury.

My queue is an entire bookcase, plus the books that won't fit on it and are lying on the floor… However, what I intend to read in the next few weeks are:

Effendi by Jon Courtenay Grimwood
The Company of Others by Julie Czerneda
and probablt Bad Science by Ben Goldacre

That is a touchy subject…

Let me just say that the last two books that I bought with the intention of acvtually reading were "The Bloody Red Baron", or Richtofen as a vampire, and a Glen Cook Garret book.
Buying two at the same time is always a bad sign with me. It really means that I just don't think enough of one to buy it exclusively. Sadly, both will probably go unread.

I've been making the most of our local library lately…
Currently half way through The Descent… but it's a horrid mess and I might just take it back unfinished.
I'm also reading my way through Isaac Asimov's anthology of stories he read as a kid during the 30s. It's good but HUGE and will take a couple weeks to finish.
Also my ongoing readthrough of Raymond Chandler's short stories and Sense And Sensibility.

Sometime after that it's either finishing Moby Dick or The Master And Margherita.

I don't read for pleasure atm, I'm a student.

My bookpile consists of several archaeological treatises, some dry as dust French vocabularie – the better to understand Voltaire in the language as she is written, and a short guide to writing essays proper.

Pity me :(

Pity Connard. I know how you feel. I quit reading Turtledove's GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS on p223. I wasn't reading for pleasure either as it turned out.

LOL Mikhail !!!! I'm reading Cemetery Dance by Preston and Child.

Does anybody read Turtledove for pleasure anymore? The last few that I attempted were to try to find out what happened next.

T'isn't that the queue is empty, rather that *everything*
is queue these days…

From my chair here at the 'puter, I can count 48 books
'in queue,' and another 20-25 awaiting their placement.

I'll read in a dozen or so books and when I finish one,
I'll start another.

I've got the last volume of Y: The Last Man, a collection of Fritz Leiber stories, and The Worm Ourboros checked out from the library now.

OT, but lest there be any doubt re. my above post, I'm a *very* mature student

Thunder on the Danube, Vol 2

In no particular order, and I could always buy more….;

I'm reading Elizabeth Moon's Once A Hero for pleasure, and two assigned books for reviews, one on American inventions and the other on science in the Romantic era.

For the moment, that's pretty much my book queue.

I don't know. Whatever I pick up next, I guess. Just finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and it's kind of put me in the mood for some straight Jane Austen, although I suspect I will be yearning for zombies to make their appearance.

Probably not anything until the end of the school year, though.

Just picked up Hasting's "Armageddon". "Soviet Blitzkrieg" and "German Infantry In WWII" coming in the mail. A few odd and ends on the get back to list when I swing out of WWII mode.

Ball Four.

Currently reading "The Kiowas and the Legend of Kicking Bird" by Stan Hoig. Next in the queue is "Love Song to the Plains" by Mari Sandoz followed by "Dharma Drum" by Sheng Yen & then a reread of Gibson's "Burning Chrome" for game scenario ideas.

John – gave up on Turtledove after the first of his alternate WWII/alien invasion books. I found myself not liking too many of his characters. Matter of fact at the gaming club's annual swap meet Sunday one of the members had a set of six of Turtledove's 'if the South won the Civil War' novels that he was giving away for nothing (was moving and didn't have space for them) and I passed.

On topic – I just finished 'Space Vulture' which is a 30s style space opera written in the last year or so. Rather enjoyed it.

Have a couple of science fiction novels coming from Amazon with two FOG supplements.

Also at the swap meet today picked up a dozen miscellaneous (Chinese Imperial Armies vol. 2, Byzantine Infantry 950-1100, Medieval Burgundian Armies, Armies of the Dark Ages, Normans, Late Roman Cavalry, etc.) Osprey tiles that will keep me busy for a couple of days.
