Potato Baron by John Thorndike

Halo: Oblivion

Eye of the World, book one of Wheel of Time (reread)

Acolytes Of Cthulhu: Short Stories Inspired By H.P. Lovecraft, edited by Robert M. Price.

Anthology of Lovecraft inspired short fiction. So far, it's something of a mixed bag when it comes to good horror fiction.

The Best Horror Of The Year: Volume fifteen, edited by Ellen Datlow.

One of my Christmas presents! So far, first rate horror fiction. The series has yet to disappoint.

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

I’m currently reading The Complete Stories of Isaac Asimov Volume 1.

I highly recommend for anyone interested in science and science fiction.

His short stories are thought provoking so I find myself pondering the meaning of each message and how it is relevant today.

^perso i found it(scifi) is very mil-rel based in several ways,
let's see; wikiquote][in 1959, after a recommendation from Arthur Obermayer, Asimov's friend and a scientist on the U.S. missile defense project, Asimov was approached by DARPA to join Obermayer's team. Asimov declined on the grounds that his ability to write freely would be impaired should he receive classified information, but submitted a paper to DARPA titled "On Creativity" containing ideas on how government-based science projects could encourage team members to think more creatively. (darpa? most likely arpanet, as von daniken lying -"i never worked for arpanet")

ofc in the end, everything is (mil/rel)

In truth I did no more than flick through the Slavic Mythologies. Not reccomended!

Arthur Hailey's The Moneychangers (50 years old this month; first published in Feb. 1975 [halfway through this old copy that I got from EBay])

I decided it was time to read something for pure simple enjoyment, so I went with "Redshirts" by John Scalzi. It's a loving parody of Star Trek. Well written, thought provoking, and just plain fun because of all the references and hidden meanings. It's an easy read, too.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis

I’m reading Source Code by Bill Gates now. So far so good.

Midnight Sun, from the Twilight series; it's the oddest love story I've ever encountered, but it's easier reading than Dicken's Great Expectations, which I've shelved.
