Any avid readers here?

Bump.


Reading a great book, especially for anyone who is a book geek. The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs. He's an editor for Esquire who set out to read the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica. Fascinating and funny.

Just finished "Ghost Soldiers", by Hampton Sides. It is the story or the Cabanatuan raid to rescue the last of the Bataan prisoners. Great book; well researched and well written.

Lots of Science Fiction and some fantasy, certain other classics. I have for example 49 Stephen KIng books in the den where I am seated. I've read 70% of them. (I buy for the future.) I have or have read a lot of Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, and a lot of less classic authors. Ten or twelve of the Anne Rice books Istarted to say in both of her Horro/ fantasy series but she brings them together in the latter books. read the Lord of the Ring Trilogy just ahead of the movies. I started it many years ago and lost interest. Ialso enjoyed about 5 or 6 books of the Dune Trilogy. I'm wit ya.

I used to read a lot...the was before kids though. I liked the whole Myth-series by Robert Asprin.

I am more of a non-fiction reader. I have two going right now. My new MRN book and a book on home brewing. I also enjoy reading finance books, management books and anything that can benefit me.

Same here - not much into fiction - but do read a fiction book once in a great while.

Whiteout by Ken Follett

Great one. Just finished The Man from St. Petersburg by Follett.

I always have at least two books going. Don't read much fiction though, too many other interests. I read "Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore a while ago and enjoyed it. Mostly read mythology, ancient history and "fringe" archeology/archeoastrology.

I forgot to mention that I enjoy reading Ayn Rand :crosseyed (fiction not her philosophy on objectivism). My favorite probably being The Fountainhead.
