Just finished Eat & Run by Scott Jurek (and some real writer). It was entertaining. Full of good recipes. Inspiring like all these endurance athlete books are.

The Name of the Wind Part 2 is just as good as the first.

I just read most of Hugh Howey's catalog. He's kind of a breakout self-published guy. Good sci-fi/fantasy. Start with the Wool Omnibus...

I adored Anathem. I haven't bought Reamde yet. Scared by reviews calling it too popular/shallow.

I'm curious about the new Terry Goodkind book, too.

Excellent! I love the Baroque Cycle. I just reread Snow Crash, and it was just as enjoyable as the first time around, if not more.

Here are a few of the non-technical ones I have finished recently (in the last two weeks) or are in-progress (and actively being read) at the moment:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I had very low hopes for this book, but it's turning out to be an excellent read.

Just finished "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King. One of the best Dark Tower/Gunslinger books so far.

I'm still struggling with this book off and on. I feel that if I'm going to be bored with footnotes I'd rather read Eco, or a textbook. Pratchett can keep me interested in his footnotes because...

I'm reading them "in order", and I'm just starting "Mort." It probably has the strongest start of any of the Discworld books I've read so far.

I started Elmore Leonard's "Pagan Babies" last night,...

Maybe the reason I dislike it is that the love-story part of it is resonating a little to deeply for comfort.

"Gunslinger IV: Wizard and Glass", by Stephen King

It's a good yarn, but a bit uneven and inconsistent. For instance, there is a scene where Bert's bird skull is explicitly put in his saddle-bag,...

Just started The Absolute Sandman, Vol. I

I don't really get the comic book (or graphic novel) thing. There are so few words and you have to rely on someone else's interpretation of what things...

I just finished "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers. Pretty good, I'm not sure how to describe the writing style. Think Kerouac, although more whiney and self-centered with a...
