I just purchased a used Kindle 2 about two months ago. It is freaking awesome, it has made me read much much more. Its also saving me some money as I can just torrent some books. The iPhone integration is amazing as well! Having it be at the same place I left off on my Iphone and Kindle at all times rocks.

So far I have read:
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
The Strain - Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Philip K Dick
Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions - Dan Ariely
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay
Dearly Devoted Dexter - Jeff Lindsay

Currently reading: The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1) by Stephen King

Let me know if you want more information about any of those books. I havent really found one that wasnt good so far.
Who knew reading could be fun??!?!

Trying to get into a collection of H.P. Lovecraft shorts (including "Call of the Chtulu").

BTW Doc, stick with those Dark Tower books. The first one isn't easy to get into at first. If you like King, however, you will love that series.

H.P. Lovecraft was fun but I think I lost them in a move a while back. "At the Mountain of Madness" was one of my favorites.

Reading Shogun
Bad ass book about Japs and their utter disregard for the sanctity of life... You no likey.... off with you head

[wondergod]

I'm really shocked that people actually read books now a days. When do you guys find time? Is it a before you go to bed thing? Or is it a set aside 1 hour a day? Or is it any moment you have that is sitting there idle, like waiting in a dentist office?

As for the books I read, they are all on PCs. Currently I'm engulfed in a TACL programming book. Quit simple and reminds of BASIC.

I'm about to start reading Feist's new book. I forget the name of it, though.

[�HADOW109]

Porn Magazine that is a book right?

[Jack]

Ender In Exile (direct sequel to Ender's Game)

PS If you haven't read Ender's Game you fail at life.

[Novahawk]

Is that a new one?

I read Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, and the Xenosomething sequels (its been like 5 years), but don't remember anything about Ender in Exile...

Edit: nvm, Looked it up on Wikipedia

Yeah it came out in 08 and takes place after Ender's Game and before all the sh*tty books that followed.

[mr.lively]

rereading catch 22, heller
read martian chronicles, bradbury
read robinson crusoe, defoe

that third book is a piece of sh*t in my opinion.

and in response to wondergod: it's an at-work thing. lifeguarding at a pool that is without patrons for most of the day allows for literature to creep in to my routine. the only reason i havent devoured half the library by now is that i get internet by siphoning wireless from surrounding apartments.

I would recommend The Road to everyone, by the way. It's a pretty sweet book. I'm going to try to finish up his trilogy (the first book being All the Pretty Horses). He's a pretty awesome writer, incorporates some gross things into his work. My dad told me he stopped reading his books after the characters found a tree full of dead baby skulls.

[Stoned Hatter]

i am currently reading the arogon books i am on the third one
