I am reading Anna Karenin still.....I only have 200 pages left.
I am almost done with Foundation and Empire, then will start Second Foundation I picked up The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maughm at Savers..... I love that guy. Have read Razors Edge, Of Human Bondage, and the book about Gauguin Three Moon and Sixpence. Are the Foundation books written after the Second Foundation (the prequels) any good? so after Anna will tackle War and Peace. Anna Karenin is sort of like a Russian version of Downton Abbey without the servants point of view (or more aptly the reverse of what I just said since Tolstoy came first). |

I also read the Foundation Series (and a few other Asimov books) in high school. I didn't read much until I was about 16, then I hit a spurt for a few years and it's been pretty slow since. Wish I was a faster reader with a better attention span..... |

When I was in Iraq I had so much downtime I read books like I did back before I was married. I want to get back to that pace. |

I will say that Michael Moorcock's "Elric Saga" was a series that grabbed me and did not let me go until I was done. It did not take log to finish either. Six or seven books total. |

The HBO series Game of Thrones is really good...makes me want to give George R R Martin a try. |

Finished Second Foundation
perhaps Kipling's Stalkey and Co next. |
I used to get Asimovs' monthly mag, in one column he said 'I've written so many books for so long I don't remember a lot of them, I have to read them to see how they end' :)

back in the 70s I was a subscriber..... it was sort of modeled on the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine that was popular. I was with Fantasy and Science Fiction also...but I never really read most of the stories. I do remember a story called Jeffty Is Five by Harlan Ellison...another Ohio boy too |
