Wow, I just looked over my reading list.... I've read so many books and articles since the last time I posted here.... I'm currently reading A Feast for Crows, the final book in Martin's Game of Thrones series. I'm a little dissappointed in it... it's not nearly as engrossing as the first three books, and I'm having a hard time finishing it... I'm also impatiently awaiting the third installment of Ken Follet's latest trilogy The Fall of Giants is set in the early years of the 20th century and introduces 5 international families whose lives are intimately and intricately entwined in a tale that spans WWI, the Russian Revolution, and the Great Depression. Book 2, The Winter of the World carries the saga through the Hitler years, WWII, and the early Cold War. The last book (???) isn't supposed to be published til next year... hopefully it will be issued early in 2013 rather than later....
