An update on books I’m reading

So I'm always reading a book.  Or two or three.  At the same time of course.  However, I'm not a very fast reader, nor am I a consistent reader.  So even though I'm "always reading a book", it may take me 4 or 5 months to finish one.

Last year I read probably 3 or 4 books.  So far this year I've read two and am almost finished with a third:

• The Fellowship of the Ring (first book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy)
• Johnathan Livingston Seagull
• Eragon (almost finished with this one)

They've all been enjoyable.  While these are the ones I've finished (or nearly), here are some that I'm still in the midst of:

• The Art of Scalability (about scalable system and business architecture)
• Learning Groovy and Grails
• Myths of Innovation
• 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know
• Oracle Essentials
