I trudged through the first 3 wool books. A friend kept telling me they would get better, the lying bastard...
I'm rereading Simon R Green's From Hell with Love.

I'm liking them well enough...Interesting how its the democrats of the future who take on the mantle of rebooting the world to their vision and under their control.
I hear there's a movie in the works.

Just started "Fall of Giants" by Ken Follett.

Just started Dodger by Terry Prattchett, different to his Discworld stuff, but still well written and funny. Got to appreciate it as I can't see many more books coming from him.
Finally got a copy of "Shadow of Freedom" by David Webber. It's only a Kindle copy (I know my wife was going to get me the hardback but I must trim costs where I can now) so I probably won't enjoy reading it as much as a 'real' book but we shall see how it shapes up.
One thing has continued on from the recent book or two in the Harrington series is the use of profanity in the dialogue - I know enough real life veterans to know how colourful their language can be but I wish Webber hadn't fallen into this path. Maybe it's just my age but I don't need to see certain words in print; to my mind I am inviting an author into my home when I buy their books and I'd prefer them to mind their manners.

Suke, I hate "real" books now. I love my Kindle, best thing I ever spent money on.
Reading John Scalzi's The Human Division, which was originally published in serial form, which, while I like the idea in theory, I was fine with waiting for the compilation.

They are very convenient when out and about, I do agree. I take mine with me whenever I am going somewhere that is going to involve me waiting for a while. But I have to say I do much prefer the tactile sensations of handling a real book - plus I tend to fall asleep reading in bed and I am a little worried I'll drop the Kindle onto the floor and break it.
Me too. I have a Kindle app on my other gadgets too....but I still like reading from my Kindle best of all.
That being said, I picked up 3 fiction books by a local author at a Farmer's market. The first, Tall Boy, is meh. Hope it gets better.

I also love my Kindle. I've fallen asleep and dropped it on the floor more than once. It's survived that three foot fall onto carpet without issues. (knocks wood) I also have the Kindle app on my phone and iPad, and i prefer the real thing.
Prefer Nook to Kindle. My wife has both, and has had lots of problems with the Kindle...
I'm listening to the Game of Thrones series. I got them off of Audible.com for free. You get a free download every month and it takes me about a month to get through each volume.

Just started reading the Conan Centenary edition, basically all of the original Conan stories in one collection. Really good and visceral, if a little bit repetitive.
