I've just started "Evidence" by Jonathan Kellerman. It's part of a murder mystery series starring Alex Delaware, a fictional psychologist. I normally don't like murder mysteries but Jonathan Kellerman writes so well that I really like his books. The other mystery author I read is Kathy Reichs.
I just finished "Night of the Living Trekkies", where a zombie virus breaks out at a Star Trek convention. It was quite funny.
So what books are you all reading?
-
I've been reading the Dune series, although I need to go to the library to get more :)
-
My stupid literature book with bull crap poems that nobody has ever heard about and probably will never care about. In this one poem, the author is compairing her life to a spinning wheel back in the late 1800's. Couldn't think of anything better? And I have to answer questions that interigate you in code.

It's been a while since I've read a book.
-
Re-reading Lord of the Rings again.

Obviously, #0 isn't much of a classic Lit. nut (not that there's anything wrong with that :)).
I'm currently, slowly, making my way through The Sable Quean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sable_Quean) but admittedly it's taking me longer than normal to finish it. Not because I don't like the book (it's a pretty good one) it's just that other things in life are distracting me from reading.
If and when I ever finish that book, I have a backlog of other books I wish to read...but I fear they wouldn't get prioritized either. :-\
-
Every time I think I'm done with the Dune series, they publish another one. No time for that. Currently have loads of software technical manuals to read. :( Not quite as entertaining, but the pay is better.
-
Re-reading Lord of the Rings again.
Years ago I lost track of how many times I've read that (and the Hobbit). I'm one of the few people you'll meet who've actually read the Silmarillion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silmarillion).
-
sadly, I haven't read that Techpro, I want to someday.
-
I'll warn you now. That is a serious read. A lot of people start it but never finish it. Probably the number one reason few people have read it. The copy I read was a large book nearly as big and fat as some of those dictionaries they like to display in libraries (or so it seemed to a 14 year old boy).
-
Currently reading Scarlet (http://www.amazon.com/Scarlet-King-Raven-Trilogy-Book/dp/1595540865) (2nd book in a trilogy by one of my favorite authors).
TP, I'm impressed. I only made it about halfway through Silmarillion.
-
When Techpro sets his mind to reading something, he'll read it. He read the first Harry Potter book in a single day, with the other books rapidly following at a slightly slower rate. And I've seen him get through other literary works pretty quickly too. Guess what I'm saying is that I'm not surprised. :)

Re-reading Lord of the Rings again.
Years ago I lost track of how many times I've read that (and the Hobbit). I'm one of the few people you'll meet who've actually read the Silmarillion ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silmarillion[/url]).
I've read the Simarillion a couple of times, and the Hobbit / Rings books more than I can count also. I think I've bought all of the books 4 times, as the kids and I wear them out.
I'm currently reading 1491, By Charles C. Mann, a history book on the pre-Columbus Americas with many interesting things you don't learn in high school history...
