Working my way through lee child 'jack reacher' series. Waiting patiently for the new author to finish robert jordan wheel of time series. I'm a huge 'EPIC' reader. Love sci-fi fantasy so the reacher novels are a bit of a diversion. Not bad. kind of Rambo x Bourne.

I finished "The Shack" awhile ago. It was good: very sad.
I am reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It is VERY good so far.

'CHART THROB' by Ben Elton. It's a satire based on TV talent shows like X factor. Hilarious  |

Ah, Ben Elton does great satire in general, but especially based on reality TV. I have already forgotten the name of the last one of his I read, but it was a Big Brother satire. Obviously he has other fantastic books, too. I have gone back to reading a book I put aside for a while - it's the Cliff Burton biography. I have just finished the chapter about the bus crash that killed him, and had to put it down again for a while. It made me cry.  |

I'm about to get off my computer and read the Bible, specifically the book of Amos.
I'm thinking I need to read The Shack after reading all your comments!

Finally got over the sad bit and finished reading "To Live Is To Die" and am now re-reading "Lolita", which is disturbing in a whole different way!!

Oh man, I wish I had time for fiction. I would be deep into the Lost Symbol if I did.
Right now I'm reading The Brain that Changed Itself.

Just finished Three Victories and a Defeat: The Rise and Fall of the First British Empire by Brendan Simms. An in depth study of British Foreign and Military Policy from the Glorious Revolution(1688) to the American Revolution(1783). Dense and chewy, but really good.

I'm into "Foreign Body" by Robin Cook - an excellent tale of surgical tourism, evil health funds, and murderous nurses. Ideal reading during a D session.

Just got through all nine of the sookie stackhouse books (yeh i'm a trueblood fan....)
About to start on 'a gathering storm' which is the latest Wheel of Time book. (the one written after Robert Jordans death). Feels weird reading a new book, written by a new author in a huge series that i've been reading for over a decade and a half. Only in the first chapter though. Seems ok. Then i think i'll give cathch 22 another read (my all time favourite book!)
