What are you reading?

Buffy really started something, didn't she.

[UtahBolt]

I read the first three books GoT and really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, I read them all in a row and kind of got tired of them and moved on to something else. Now the show is past where I was in the books and I have just not bothered to go back and finish what I started.

[Mister Hoarse]

Never been much of a fantasy or sci-fi fan, but I really enjoyed American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Re-reading Catching Fire.

Not counting my audiobooks, I'l prolly re-read Red Storm Rising again next.

Tom Clancy's imagining a "hot" cold-war circa 1985 is just amazing. If you haven't read it yet, do so.
It still stands up.

Re-reading "To Kill a Mockingbird". Haven't read it since my school days. It's way more entertaining as an adult.

Wow I just reread it a couple of months ago my wife gave me that book for Xmas, I read it in one day when I was 14,! It blew me away

I like to read, but I've gotten slower and slower in my old age.

I just finished (last night) the First Jack Reacher book. It was ok. Not hard to read, but it was longer than I expected.

Going to Start "Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism" tonight.

I've also got the first Game of Thrones book on my kindle, but I'm hesitant to start it because it's so long.

I used to be a fiction guy. Pretty much all fiction all the time.

But then I started reading Malcolm Gladwell and Chuck Klosterman books, and I've found myself reading more and more non Fiction.

Stephen King is my favorite however. I finished "Mr. Mercedes" a month or so ago, which I really enjoyed. I've read pretty much everything in his catalog at least once, and most of them twice.

Read the JS Spong book a long time ago....remember liking it a lot
I'm reading a lot more non fiction books also like Gladwells early stuff

Right now reading some Phillip K Dick sci fi, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Ubik,,weird, maybe not for everyone , I really like it

Previously just finished reading The Poisonwood Bible.....long but worth it, I think it's one of the ten best books I've ever read

[KarlC]

Not for nothing, but anyone who likes Tom Clancy like me (Jack Ryan books), he spoke very highly of another author named John Varley that I'm a HUGE fan of.

I'd recommend the Gaia trilogy, but pretty much anything he's written is good sci-fi.

Oh, and I've heard a number of people say they aren't into fiction much. I'd recommend King, Clancy, Zelazny, Heinlein, Bradbury, and a bunch of others.

Real accessible stuff depending on your genre.

[Mister Hoarse]

Zelazny was a terrific writer.

[Screeme]

Re-reading "To Kill a Mockingbird". Haven't read it since my school days. It's way more entertaining as an adult.

For my money.. the greatest thing I've ever read. I named one of my sons Atticus.

Probably time I read it again.. its been a few years.

[Coachmarkos]

speaking of "other" authors, really enjoyed F. Paul Wilson's "Repairman Jack" series

http://www.repairmanjack.com/

Heard about him from Stephen King, I think he called himself the "President of the Repairman Jack" fanclub or something to that effect.

I haven't read them all, but I read the first 4 or so.

Pretty good if you enjoy King.

For my money.. the greatest thing I've ever read. I named one of my sons Atticus.

Probably time I read it again.. its been a few years.

Atticus....great name.....glad you didn't name him Boo.

Maybe all of you non-fiction folks got me to do it, but I checked out a book called

What If? The World's Foremost Military Historians Imagine What Might Have Been

If you are a military history wonk, or just history in general like me, you might love this as much as I have so far (I'm not all the way through yet). It examines not just battles, but also geo-political choices and wonders what might have happened if the principals in each situation had chosen differently.

It's not quite pre-history/history/future-fiction like the book Alternate Presidents, but it was very enjoyable to a history junkie like me.
