What books are on your nightstand?

I just finished reading John Grisham’s The Broker, which ended up being a pretty decent book. The beginning ended up being a little on the slow side but about 100 pages in it really got moving. If you can accept everything in it at face value without really asking too many questions it’s an entertaining read. I’m not going to go into specifics because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but sometimes it was a tad hard to believe some of this stuff.

The ending was also a little bit less than satisfying. It ended up being a fun ride though.

As far as what I’m reading now, I’m attempting to get through the first book of Robot Jordon’s Wheel of Time series, The Eye of the World. I’ve always been interested in fantasy/sci-fi type books and I’ve wanted to tackle this series for a while. Every time I start the book though, I end up getting another book that I’m more interested in reading, or somebody lends me something. So this is attempt #4 to get through it. I know the first 50 pages by heart at his point :)

Don’t get me wrong, the book isn’t really boring, It’s just really bad timing.

My next book  is probably going to be JPod. I loved Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs, and I’ve heard really good things about JPod (and also some not-so-good things about it…but hopefully I fall on the “really good” side of the divide), so I’m probably going to be picking that up after I finish with The Eye of the World and before I delve into book 2 of the Wheel series.
