Wool by Hugh Howey.
Just finished Swift's A Modest Proposal. Eating babies. I didn't think this would be funny outside of edgy teenage years.
Looking forward to Karamazov. Seems like a philosophical romp set in Russia; I can see myself having fun making a Fyodor character. Gotta love Project Gutenberg.
Don't stop, be reading. Hold onto that feeling; keep that sense of wonder.
Running: A Global History, by Thor Gotaas.
I have been reading this for two years now. It's heavy going, and is a wonderful sleep aid.
I'm also digging through the Discworld series, in order, on Kindle, buying them as I go. I am up to Guards Guards, but haven't embarked on it yet. Mostly because it's winter, and I'll pass out if I spend too long lying down reading, and it isn't pleasant being woken up by the Kindle bouncing off my ribs as I drop it.
And I'm chewing through the 4e Shadowrun books on rotation until I understand the system.
Working on Nine Princes in Amber right now. Recently finished pic related. Basically a zombie apocalypse with a space elevator creating a safe-zone aura where humans can live, provided by aliens. Decent book. I wonder as to its potential for an RPG setting.
The Best and the Brightest- David Halberstam
In an unusual move of reading CS-related literature outside of school, The Pragmatic Programer. Pretty useful so far.
On the fiction side of things I got nothing for now, although /swg/ has made me start looking into trying some old Legends books.
