Ah, well, clearly I didn't read it... 
JUST finished Clash of Kings last night, finally! That book took forever to read!
Started The Selfish Gene at work as my lunch-time book, since I have lunches back now, and I need to get going on the latest batch of Walking Dead comics I got from the library that I've been putting off starting.
It's available at ebooks.com for 99 cents.

I would if that movie about a poor girl who is a genius hacker was made by Americans.  
HahhHa only in a America could a girl be poor to the point of welfare/petty crime and own 1100 dollar macbook air. Especially because any hacker with his shit knows that a laptop that 5 years old running Debian will beat the ass off a macbook at hacking.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

No, haven't had much interest really.

Never trust a Hollywood adaptation to be accurate. Some very few are. The rest...

Finished Devil's Only Friend. Kind of underwhelmed. 
Ever so slight spoiler:
Started Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on audiobook and am remembering how much I hate the accent this narrator chose for Lisbeth.

Well, I'm about half-way through Kim Harrison's new book, "The Drafter." I don't know if this series will be as good as her "Hollows" series or not, but it's starting with a bang. Pretty good so far.

Damn it! I missed "Banned Book Week." this year. Ever since I first heard of it, I set aside some banned titles to read that week. :-(
