Druids and Da Vinci

Yesterday I finished reading Druids by Lewellyn. It took me a long time because I kept getting bogged down in the battle scenes and the pronunciation of Roman and Celtic names. I would never want to read that book outloud. I'd be tripping all over my tongue. I need to check if that was my fifth book or sixth book.

I'm still reading a book about Da Vinci. I have two Tony Hillerman books waiting in the wings. And someone gave us a big box of LaMour books so even if I'm not really into westerns that much, I'm thinking it wouldn't kill me to read them. I've been tripping over them in the hallway for a year.
What are the rest of you reading?

Reading Goal

I read some tips from other readers that managed to read 100 books a year. First off, they are in the process of reading more than one book at a time. Which makes sense. You can have a book near anywhere you tend to sit, so by the bed, by the couch, and in the bathrooms, and in the car. You spend more time reading instead of hunting for the book. So I'm down with that.

I've also started reading with a bookmark. I don't need it all the time, but when the TV is on or people are talking, I can put it under each line I'm reading and then find my place a lot quicker if I have to look up and talk to someone.

Right now I'm in the middle of reading Druids. And I have Coyote Waits by Tony Hillerman sitting by my computer so I can read that when I get a chance.

I also want to go to the library soon. I'd like to read Twilight and Inkheart so I can at least get on the waiting list for those.
