[QUOTE="DeeEff, post: 78544, member: 2188"] I have always been a voracious reader. I used to buy 5-10 books per month from Amazon before running out of space in my house; now I hit the library every week for my fix. Preferred genres: science fact, science fiction, thrillers, mystery/detective/crime novels, and the odd biography. Currently checked out: Fiction: - "Burning Angel", James Lee Burke. One of many great novels about Dave Robicheaux, ex-drunk, ex-New Orleans cop, current small town detective who breaks rules constantly in his personal pursuit for justice. - "Maelstrom", Peter Watts. Hard sf set in the near almost post-apocalyptic future. Great read. - "Lightspeed: Year One", John Joseph Adams (editor). sf anthology from the online magazine, and one of the best anthologies I've read in a long time. - "City of Bones", Michael Connelly. One of the "police procedural" subgenre, starring LAPD Homicide detective Harry Bosch. Non-fiction: - "Chasing the Sun", Richard Cohen. The history, mythology, and science of our Sun. - "How to Create a Mind", Ray Kurzweil. If you're at all interested in what life might be like in ten or twenty years when computers outstrip the abilities of the human brain, read Kurzweil. Jack Reacher is one of my favorite protagonists - he's like a cross between Spock and Hulk Hogan. Lord Vetinari and Sam Vimes (Discworld novels) are also favorite characters of mine, full of unwitting social commentary and ironic humor. And "Ready Player One" got 4.5/5 stars from me. [/QUOTE]
