You sure that was me you were talking to? I've never even heard of those books much less read them....
If you want to know what books I've been reading, you're welcome to visit my GoodReads account here:

I only started it back in June, so it's missing a lot of books that I've already read... but that's a good measure of what I read and how fast I read it. I'm working my way through "The Amber Spyglass" right now. I'm on page 310... so about half-through. That'll complete "The Golden Compass" trilogy... then I'll read "Lyra's Oxford" and finish that "world"... I'm 1/3 though Christy Marx's writing book... and I'm dying to finish the second Vampirates book and Sinclair Lewis' "Arrowsmith" (I started that some time in HS, but had to take it back to the library before I finished so I never know what happened to the doctor!)... after that.... who knows. My 'rents gave me a book on serial killers as an early b-day gift, so maybe I'll devour that! Haha. I guess I like to read lots of stuff.... and though I try to stay away from the mainstream fantasy series, I did get sucked into GRRM's "Song of Ice and Fire" series. I eagerly await the completion of "Dances with Dragons" as well as the rest of the series.... I just hope he finishes it before he dies. Heh.
Anyway, thanks for the update! =)
... and don't worry... no Anne McCaffrey for me!
