Currently I'm reading Ted Dekker's Red on my android Kindle App. But being in Aus I can't get all the The Lost Books for the kindle so I'm getting them from Audible. But yeah got the rest (Paradise novels as well and Green). Then I'm going onto The Books Of Mortals: Forbidden. Gonna break it up though. After White I'm gonna read the Guild Wars Books then go back.

Black was an awesome book, I am reading Red too, well more like was reading since I don't have the book any more. :(
Hopefully I will find it some where then finish it, then I will read White. :)

Did you read Green yet? I am not to sure what it's about,
I heard the series was better off with out it though, so I am not sure if I should read it after I read Red, and White. :|

I haven't read Green yet but the whole circle restarts with it. From what I've heard even though Green is the end you can read Black right after it as if it's a sequel. This way the books story-line actually form a circle. Black -> Red -> White -> Green -> Black etc. I'm not sure how the Lost books fit in (as they are about the Books of Histories as well) but I hear it's like a younger version of The Circle books. Also the Paradise novels (Forming part of the Histories) and House (Written with Frank Peretti and featuring a character from the paradise novels) all fit into the Circle as well. I hear you can read them in any order but I'm doing Black, Red, White, The Lost Books Series, The Paradise Novels, House and Green. I think that was the order they were written. Then The Books of Mortals is the new series that takes place after Green so that should be fun.
And I love similies. I love aliteration too. Is that crazy? :lol:
BTW Green comes in two versions. One subtitled "The Begining and the End" the other subtitled "The Last Stand". The former connected the stories with an ambiguous ending where the latter was rewritten with a more solid ending. Depends on if you like the idea that the books can be read in a circle forever. I do so I got the former.

Wow, I knew the main books are the circle trilogy, but I am not sure if I like the idea of story repeating.
Maybe that's why I heard the series might be better off with out it. :think:
Well, then again I guess I did not read it yet. :think:
But yeah, I like reading them in the order they were written. :)
I wish had Red right now.

I greatly enjoyed the original three, but I despise Green. I just, really really don't like it.

Or pretty much anything new I've read by Ted Dekker since he went over the top Hollywood with his work.

Currently reading Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout (for school, mind you) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Also about to start Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Mostly done with Olive Kitteridge, finished Half-Blood Prince and moving on to the Deathly Hallows. I'm afraid too much of it has been spoiled for me already but trying to keep my vision of the book fresh.

Spoiler:
If any of you spoils the book for me I will strangle you. That's a promise.

Funnily enough, I'd heard that meme so much and I thought it was in the seventh book, so it did take me a little by surprise, but not really.

Better man than I.

If I had heard that before I read it...I actually would've choked the person.
