Someone recommended I read "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller Jr.  I had been working on it about 3 months and I just remembered I had it. 

Has anyone here read it?

I only have time to read books when I'm in prison, but I got a new tat.

I just re-read Ender's Game along with my 12 year-old.  It holds up very well I just hope the movie is decent.

Just started reading Dust by Hugh Howey, it's the conclusion to the Silo Saga.  The first 2 parts were Wool and the Shift Series, it's been a great read all they way thru.  Definitely worth reading.

[jdbailey1206]

I can only read picture books.  Anything past that is too difficult for me.

I just finished Shada by Douglas Adams. A Doctor Who story based on an unfurled episode also written by DA.

It was like coming home as I always enjoyed the Hitchhiker series.

Just finished rereading I Want My MTV

I have just started reading Windows Server 2012 Unleashed and I have definitely been hooked on it for the past two weeks now.

I cannot wait until I get into Chapter 16: Migration from AD 2008 to 2012. Especially the compatibility Testing. 

Now please don't let out any spoilers, and ruin any fun I will be having.

The server dies in the end.

Yeah, I ruined it for you but there are many hints throughout that tip you off.

DOH! 

'Year Zero' by...uhhh...I forget.

[shmokes]

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Not only is it great, but the guys who did Sherlock for BBC are turning it into a mini-series that will air in 2014, so you better get the book in now before they spoil it for you.

Other then that I have been working my way through Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & Heroes of Olympus series.  Then its back to the Clive Cussler books.

Just started WIZZYWIG Portrait of a Serial Hacker, by Ed Piskor. It's a Graphic Novel, so the picture book crowd may be interested.

Steven King?  Or the gunslinger?

We've been reading the Ender books and I've been on a Stephen King kick lately.  Life's too complicated to read anything challenging these days.....

[Ginsu Victim]

Currently reading:
Doctor Sleep (sequel to The Shining) by Stephen King (so far, so good)
The Walking Dead TPB vol 18

[opt2not]

The only reading I do is in J-RPG's. 






no, i'm kidding:  I'm reading through Masters of Doom, the story of John Carmack and John Romero's success.

I've been on a non-fiction buzz this year.

I just finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling).  Absolutely fantastic book.

I re-read that this summer during my Hawaii vacation. Good fun.

*yot trivia - I won a contest way back when and have an Daikatana headband autographed by John Romero and Stevie Case.

Game contest?

I was one of the first five people in the world to receive their copy of Daikatana.

I just opened an old box I had in storage, found some interesting books in there from Timothy Leary, Jonathan Ott, Daniel Pinchbeck. Boy were those interesting times...

A+! Good choice.

I never made it past the first level.  Did you finish it?

Yeah, I enjoyed it, but even at the time, some of it felt really forced. PBJ had a great breakdown of the book a while back.
