That's a pretty hefty list of things to be reading at the same time.

I'm still reading A Dance With Dragons right now (yes, I started the week after it came out). I've only been reading it during my half hour lunch breaks. But I'll be finished next week, and then I'll start Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings.
No worries, there's still loads of people wanting to discuss the book I dare say. I'd definitely be interested to hear your thoughts.
I'm also reading my regular history. I'm on the first volume of Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy. It's delightful and engaging. I may read The Lost City of Z between the first volume and the second.
I need to read that at some point, I know far too little about American history (although perhaps that isn't really the period in American history I most need to learn about...).
I'm also doing a complete read-through of all of the X-Men related comics, from the 60s through to the present day. I'm in the 70s right now.
I guess you could use that for the book-and-movie challenge? Not sure if the movies are based on any particular comics, or when those were written, I haven't read any American comics (at least no Marvel/DC ones, unless you count Sandman and about ten pages of Watchmen in a bookstore once).
I'm also reading a travel book about 500 neat wild places around the Earth that people can visit. I read that while I exercise.
Sounds fun as well.
So winter* draws to an end, and a new Challenge steps up! Any good reads planned for September?

I can never decide what type of book I should be reading, so I just do all of them at once.

I should've known you'd react that way, after your Luxemberg readings.

I read Dune for the first time last year, and it was not what I was expecting.

That was pretty much the impression I get from the trailer and reviews, yes...
