I just listened to the Audio Book of Tina Fey's BOSSYPANTS... It is pretty damn funny.
A nice light read and she is funny as two 'coons fighting over a water balloon covered in Peanut Butter! Hyuck Hyuck! -
I just started the third book of the Song of Ice and Fire series. If you're a fantasy fan, I'd say it's well worth checking out.

For almost two years now, I've been reading R.A. Salvatore's Legacy of Drizzt series. The legacy itself is 13 books long, starting with The Crystal Shard. Start there. I'm completely hooked I think I'm 20+ books in right now...

Heretics by G.K. Chesterton.

Currently reading "For My Country's Freedom" - by Alexander Kent - fiction.
This is part of the Richard Bolitho series (late 1700s early 1800s British Navy stories)
Good, easy action packed reading, solid character development, excellent/interesting details and perspectives on life aboard those "ship of the iine" vessels - those dudes were tough a$$ mothers in those days.
Similar genre, but Army instead of Navy, the Richard Sharpe series (ie Sharpe's Rifles) by Bernard Cornwell. Also a fun, easy, action packed read, with historical perspectives of Europe in the early 1800s, the evil Frogs, and a few likable, and bad-guy characters etc.
Sharpe is a beast.
I never understood why back in those days, they would simply line up and shoot each other........now it makes sense.

You can find it by googling "manga scanlations" or just "download manga" -
H.P. Lovecraft short stories, Ashton Clark Smith stories, and Robert E. Howard.
-
Howard is awesome, I havn't read the "Wheel of Time" series, but his Conan is epic.
-
Wheel of time is Robert Jordan, not Robert E. Howard. Howard wrote Conan, Kull, Solomon Kane, and some great horror stories.roland_7707:Howard is awesome, I havn't read the "Wheel of Time" series, but his Conan is epic. -
My bad, I get the Roberts mixed up sometimes.
Soloman Kane is on my list
Right now I'm reading Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. -
Nice. Ender's Game is fantastic.roland_7707:My bad, I get the Roberts mixed up sometimes.

Right now I'm reading Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. -
I have a collection of Cards' short stories and some are good, but others are just off the wall crazy,
In one elephants take over Great Britain. -
Just finishing up The Poisonwood Bible-excellent writing. If you are looking for some good non-fiction read Endurance. Chronicles the failed Antarctic crossing expedition of Lord Shackleton and crew-those were some (real) manly men-unbelievable what they went through.

Just got caught upon the wheel of time and read the Odd Thomas series
-
Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford; Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol 1

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.

Salvatore is the man if you into fantasy. Read all the Drizzt book twice and look forward to the new one this Oct I think.
If you’re into war/military books I recommend Lone Survivor about a 4 man SEAL team being overrun from the perspective of the only surviving member or Fighter Pilot: memoirs of Robin Olds, very good book from his days in WW2 and Vietnam up until his death a few years ago -
Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern... hilarious, wish it was a longer book, this was passed around the office for about 9 months
-
Just finished The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

The Outlaws- W.E.B. Griffin

Dead or Alive - Tom Clancy

I love Clancy. Though I haven't read anything in a while. If you like American history check out " When the river ran backwards " it's full of interesting bits of history info you probably never learned in school.
