Okay, so I'll assume I'm not the only one here who enjoys reading books. :)

What are you reading at the moment?
I just finished The Love Executioner by Dr. Irvin Yalom and just started The Bad Place by Dean Koontz.

Just finishing off On Writing by Stephen King for the.... 3rd time. Then I'm going to start on The Dark Tower series - haven't had a chance to read them before now.

About to start The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I've no interest in the movie adaption, but I'm told the book is fairly enjoyable.

When the Game Was Ours, the story of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, A History of Freemasonry, and The Sherlock HOlmes mysteries. I always read a bunch at the same time, finish them when I finish them.

Presently reading Mechanicum by Graham McNeill. Part of the Horus Heresy series of books from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

The Bad Place by Dean Koontz.
I've read a lot of Koontz, he's a brilliant chap. He writes dark books that still manage to have a light side to them without messing up the plot, characters or the dark side of them.

Then I'm going to start on The Dark Tower series - haven't had a chance to read them before now.
Utterly amazing series. Nothing more to say without spoiling it.

I just started reading Marcus Rediker's The Slave Ship: A Human History. I found that book in a section of a local library next to a book I've been meaning to read, Elliot Jaspen's Buried In The Bitter Waters: The Hidden History of Racial Cleansing In America.

Mark of the Lion - it's about a Kiwi named Chales Upham who won the Victoria Cross twice in WW2. Good read so far.

Lance the Dark Tower series is awesome and adds an interesting perspective on Kings other books.

^ Aye, it's amazing how well (and how many of) his other books are tied into the series at one point or another.
