I'm currently reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" Book 1 on my Kindle. It's a very different genre than I'm used to reading. I am enjoying it so far.

I am currently reading:

-'Your Pilot's License' ie. How to get private pilot's license to fly airplanes. (A near future goal of mine.)

-'Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction'. Very neat anthology which chronicles a selection of sci-fi from over the last 150 years. It's interesting to see how story themes change over time based on the contemporary population's fears and morals.

I'm currently ploughing through Margaret Atwood's Year of the Flood, having loved Oryx and Crake which I read last week. Having a bit of a dystopia binge at the moment. Highly recommended by the way.

Nice! I just started that series this summer and love it. Haven't liked anything quite this much since Harry Potter. The book I'm currently reading is "A Feast for Crows", which is book 4 in that series.

Ps: Brienne is my favorite POV character although you don't exactly know who that is yet until the second book or unless you've seen the show.

Anything Phillip K Dick, my favorite of his so far would probably be Ubik. It's a nice change up as I mostly read historical type books and biographies.

The Complete Book for North American Railroading. Not a bad history of N.A. railways that came and went and merged.

Ah, it's been a long time since I read any Philip K. Dick! Thanks for reminding me, I will definitely have to add this one near the top of my list. :wink:

Read some of Richard Dawkins: the god delusion. I find it very interesting, however it is controversial to anyone deeply invested in its topic, so I won't go on about it much. Just if you are interested in topics like theology and skepticism, I'd say it's worth a shot.

Dan Simmons - Ilium

As a sci-fi fan and having been classically educated, this is just my cup of tea. I read his Hyperion Cantos series multiple times, those are my favorite books by far.

Reading The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher. It's a pirate, fantasy, techy-sort of steampunk-esque- adventure story. About half way through and really enjoying it.

Miro got the end of the stick so short there might not be any stick left.

Just started Contact by Carl Sagan. It is one of my favourite films, so this should be good too. My boyfriend told me to keep reading his books if I want to be smarter. Okay!

Re-reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey in anticipation for the movie. It's a nice different take, of sorts, on the alien invasion stories. A real page turner that is hard to put down. It revolves around a girl trying to regroup with her brother & all that it entails. Twists & turns, a great story.

I'm reading the Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs. It's the third book in his Peculiar Children series. For those unaware, Mr. Riggs is a collector of vintage photographs, esp those who cast their subjects in an unusual manner. He builds the narrative around these photos, which he features throughout the books. The story and characters themselves are engaging, and the whole makes for an interesting bit of reading.

I'm reading "The Demon Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan. It is a wonderful book about science and pseudoscience, about errors, curiosity, confusion, and about the way we could act in nowadays world. Even if the book was published for the first time in 1996 it is still actual.
