I'm currently reading "Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-Vs.-Christians Debate" by Justin Lee, and "How to Grow a School" by Chris Mercogliano.

When people start to use Jesus to justify their anti-gay stance, I like to quote them what Jesus said on gays: ""

"The Thanatonauts" by Bernard Werber.

His best by far. And the encyclopedia entries are not bullshit in this one. :-)

Having finished Goblet of Fire for the umpteenth time, I'm now working my way through Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies. Do you know, I had the hardest time finding it in actual book shops....

I'm reading Welcome to Promise City by Greg Cox, a book that picks up the storyline of the 4400 (if you know about that tv show).
And also the Bible still.
And also sort of a textbook on philosophy of religion.

Took a bit of a breather from reading Wise Man's Fear while on holiday and read The Sabbat Worlds Anthology (edited by Dan Abnett) as well as reading Pariah by Abnett.  Also started to read Death's Heretic by James L Sutter.  Just some light reading for my time off.

Uni texts, uni Journals, the god delusion,  a short history of nearly everything and moby dick.

I feel like some naked time on the beach nicely divided between reading and swimming... viva Barcelona!

Game of thrones!

Did you start reading before or after the TV series?  I hate the way my imagination is stunted when I have seen someone else's interpretation before I can develop my own.. I think it is the worst thing about 'the movie and the book' scenario, not withstanding when the interpretation is done badly and almost always the book is better. 

On an slightly :43 note, I just had the chance to visit some incredible places in the Andalucía region, one of which in Seville is being used for the upcoming series of filming. I am interested to see how they use an existing historical castle. Particularly one with centuries of both Muslim and Christian cultural influence as political reign in Spain ebbed and flowed. 

Enjoy the reading!

Currently reading Drown by Junot Diaz. He's one of the most amazing writers I've ever read and it's taken me long enough to start reading this one.
