"Dragons of the Autumn Twilight" by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

Just recently finished the four-volume Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. If you enjoy science fiction, you should definitely read this.

Do comics count? I'm reading through Fables currently, comics-wise.

Book-wise I'm reading 'The Remains of the Day' by Kazuo Ishiguro.

"The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins
and "What Is Love" by Yoram Yovell.
I am a fan of both.

Goals by Brian Tracy. A good motivation book!

Grapes of Wrath(Steinbeck) currently. Just finished The Great Gatsby(Fitzgerald) and Great Expectations (Dickens). The G.G. is much easier to read compared to Great Expectations; highly recommend it.

Right now, I'm reading A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. A great book about the origin of philosophy starting from Ancient Greece.

I am reading The Road To Wigan Pier by George Orwell

Next I am hoping to read Fear And Loathing In Las Vagas Just because the movie was mental

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

A Field Guide to American Houses by Virginia Savage McAlester and Lee McAlester

It's a really good reference book about American home architecture.

I'm currently reading book number 3 of The Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon. (translated from French to English)

Really happy to have discoverd this, it's my one of my favourite series so far, if not the best!

It's about the hundred year's war between France and England. You can say it's the real life Game of Thrones basically, it has a lot of intriges and conspiracies. Bankers and high players in the field that are using the royal family as their pawns, such as the count of Valois and the Lombard family. It's a bit difficult to know who is who sometimes, cause practically everybody is called "Charles", "Philip" and "Louis". But that's the thing, it all really happened, it features real life people such as Louis X and Marguerite of Burgundy. It's a must read for history buffs or people who like non-fiction set in the middle ages.

Recently bought the Broken Empire Trilogy by Mark Lawrence.

Currently reading the power of simple prayer by joyce meyer. Been wanting to pray more often and I have been getting a lot of out of it as well. Not many of you may be interested in that of course. Prayer gives me hope.

I just finished Privateers and privateering by Statham, Edward Phillips.
Now I just started reading Life Aboard a British Privateer in the Time of Queen Anne: Being the Journal of Captain Woodes Rogers by Woodes Rogers.

I love reading old books.

I found those Space 1999 books online. They are actually episodes from the show but they are made into reading stories so it's interesting. Right now I'm at the part where they're assessing the damage cause by the nuclear explosion that pushed the Moon out of it's orbit. After fixing the damage to their water supply tank, they're also figuring out what resources they have left for the crew of the Alpha base to survive.

I also found found some Star Trek and Planet of the Apes episodes made into stories.
The first book is the original story (Planet of the Apes) by Pierre Boule but the other books are about the four other movies and TV-series written by different authors.
