We've been buying all of these books for the last decade or so. She's read them all, but I haven't had a chance to read any of them. Still on my to-do list. I did the The Visitation movie, but I'm sure its not as good as the book.

I also have Prophet in paperback somewhere.

Just started reading Deep Work by Cal Newport.

I have difficulty finding time to read. If I had time I would like to read the Codex Alera books again. It seems the only time I have is driving to and from work. I wonder if they have audio books???

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

About 200 pages into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Still on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Getting close to the end, though.

Thinking about what to read to the kids after this. Luciana has requested The Lord of the Rings but I don't think that they would be engaged enough for it. I'm thinking Dragons of Autumn Twilight would be a good one to start them on.
-
Neil Gaiman - Norse Mythology

If you want a fantasy series, the dragon lance saga is a good classic style.
If you want something with more female role models, look at the Pern series from Anne McCaffrey.

@jaredbusch Have you read any of L Ron Hubbard's books? A friend of mine was explaining how great he was as a science fiction author (if you just ignore Scientology). I was considering picking up some of his works to see what the deal was
