6. I love that show

I didn't expect Walt to be a book reader when I saw the first episode, I'm glad they show that a thinker isn't an automatic genius or just a stereotypical hero.

As for me, I'm reading the second novel of the Elder Scroll books "Lord of Souls" by Greg Keyes. I'm also hoping to be starting today "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco (I saw the film several times and have enjoyed it). If not that one, then either "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White, or "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

It never occurred to me growing up that a person could read more than one book at a time, so I never developed a practice for it. That's why I won't be reading all those at once, instead of being sure of which I'm going to read. I'm pretty sure it's going to be Eco's novel, though.
