Reading through the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series again. I've read all the books before, but I enjoy re-reading the story, I always pick up something new and different.
On deck is The Steel Remains by Richard K Morgan.

The Shack by WM. Paul Young.
Excellent read- best fiction I have read in over a decade and I am only half-way in.

My wife is reading it now. When she was half-way through, she didn't like it, but now she does, and wants me to read it. I'd be interested to hear what you thought about it after you've finished it.
I just finished Strange Adventures of Rangergirl, by Timothy Pratt. Haven't read a fiction book in a while. It was pretty good, I must say.
Now onto "The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order" by Parag Khanna.

Just After Sunset- Stephen King's latest collection of short stories. Pretty good but I think he's mellowed with age.

Just finished Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines. Not great, but realistic. And oh so much better than Jas. Frey's A Million Little Pieces (of Bullshit).
Current: A Lion Among Men - great writer. And, Power of the Dog.

A great read. I can see how some people would not like it. I do not feel like the author is trying to re-invent the spiritual wheel. Everything (except the fictional characters) has biblical context. I found this book to put a lot of basic, yet complex concepts in practical terms. Further, it does a great job in helping to strip everything down to what matters most- relationships. It is a book that I could read once a year and get something out of...
Awesome book!

So, I casually picked up this book on Thursday and will probably finish it tonight. I can't say it's the best fiction I've read in a decade, but there's something about it that keeps me plugging away at it every chance I get. It's definitely compelling, however.

I just finished reading Watchmen, the whole thing took me maybe 3 days of reading off and on. Now I'm really excited to go see the movie and even more excited to get more Alan Moore books, I've already read his "Batman: The Killing Joke"
I'm still working on Duma Key, by Stephen King, but I only read that in bed so it's taking a little while.
Just a stay at home dad (retired until I choose otherwise, thanks Canadian Army medical pension) hanging out and enjoying the good life.
Right now I'm working on some Middle East Politics book for class. Soooooo hard to concentrate on.

Killing Joke is a classic. Need to pick up Watchmen after i finish Arkham Asylum.

Bill Bryson is the chancellor of my school... And the only reason for that is because of Notes from a Small Island (Durham's the only place he doesn't slag off in there). He's a nice guy, enjoys talking to Americans when he meets them...
