Hang on.
Book 16 of a 15 volume series?

Currently reading The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory. Needed something to soothe me to sleep and I found it in the closet where my sister had abandoned it.
So far it's okay. A little on the boring side, or at least I think it's a slow read. Which is fine because it's effective in making me sleepy.

Tibs has started reading me "The Edge Chronicles." I'm reading him "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. I'm reading "The Brothers Karamazov" in my spare time. I don't really have a lot of that at the moment, so it's very slow going. All three are good, though TBK has a slow start. (The Russians always do that!)

Currently reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. An awsome case of a sociopath until now , I hope it stays this way until the end.

Still reading Sean Carroll's The Big Picture. I'm in the section about matters of epistemology. Interesting stuff in there (especially with the Boltzmann Brain concept), though a little bit dull otherwise (compared to the previous section).

Almost done with "Shroud of Eternity", Terry Goodkind's second book in the "Nicci Chronicle".

Currently reading the second "Scott Harvath" book by Brad Thor (audio) and the second "InCryptid" book by one of me favorites, Seanan McGuire. The Brad Thor books are political thrillers that are... not bad. Though I'm told they get better, so I'll stick it out for a while. The "InCryptid" books are urban fantasy with a fantastic humorous streak. I'd recommend the Brad Thor books to anyone who really like political thrillers and the "InCryptid" books to anyone who likes to read.

Just picked up 14 new audio books for ~70 bucks. I love it when Audible has a sale.

Just started The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by Thomas Childers. I'm also re-reading a collection of Hemingway short stories a bit at a time, as my schedule permits.
