What are you reading?

Just finished the fifth Game of Thrones book, A Dance with Dragons. I understand that George R. R. Martin is borrowing the narrative arc of Lord of the Rings, where the Fellowship of the Rings (AKA the children of Winterfell) must be scattered far and wide to fulfill their personal quests before they can be reunited for a single purpose. But whereas Tolkien kept his characters separated for one book, Martin is going on five. And didn't I read that there's at least two more books planned?? I can't figure out what I'm more frustrated by: the near-misses and waylaid quests of books four and five, or the fact that I'll no doubt be reading the sixth book as soon as it's out. Arrgh.

Next up: Cruddy by Lynda Barry!

I'm reading a cute little mystery by Joanne Fluke called Devil's Food Cake Murder

She has a series of these kind of books using the same characters
She even puts recipes in all these books
I've used a few of the cookie recipes and 1 muffin recipe from earlier books

I just bought:

Curious Gorge
by Scott Cook

Non fiction

"Over 100 Hikes and Explorations in the Columbia River Gorge"

I'm reading and browsing it. So far, great book!

I am currently reading Inside Hitler's Bunker: The Last Days of the Third Reich by Joachim C. Fest. I think the title is self-explanatory especially if you know anything about the ending of the Holocaust and Hitler's reign of terror.
