I just finished Ender's Game and Running With the Buffaloes and am now starting the first book of the America 2040 series by Evan Innes. I might start Neal Stephenson's Necronomicon too.

A couple weeks ago I just finished \"First Rider's Call\" by Kristen Britain, sequel to \"Green Rider\". I'm currently reading \"The Seeress of Kell\" by David Eddings, Book Five of te Malloreon series (I think some of you guys have read Eddings' works). For educational purposes I'm reading a book on Accounting to familiarize myself with my major in college. 8)

Night Mare by Piers Anthony

and (slowly!) The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose.

Also, I just finished my first aid/CPR book and was trained in that on Saturday. I'm going to an instructor course a couple of weeks from now though, so I guess I will see more of it...

Depends on the person. They said that about television too I think.

Personally I don't do a lot of heavy reading outside the occasional textbook, but from time to time...

I've been in the middle of reading (and by \"reading,\" I really mean, \"been stalled on the same page for three months because I never seem to sit down and start it up again\") The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan (the fourth Wheel of Time book) for a few months now. I managed to get on a roll this summer by reading/re-reading the first three in a relatively short period of time, but unfortunately, as soon as school started, I managed to stall once more; looks like I'll be re-reading the first half of this one as well. I need to get myself back into \"rabid voracious book reader\" mode instead of spending so much time in \"rabid voracious forum reader\" mode. :P

I've been on a rereading kick lately, recently reread the book of the new sun by gene wolfe. Also reread the earthsea series by Ursula K. LeGuin.

After that, I read War Stories by Joe Haldeman (at least most of it), and I'm currently (slowly) reading The Science of Materials and Structures by JE Gordon (scientific american series).

Somewhere in there I recently read the Pleasure of Finding Things Out by the physicist Richard Feynman. It has his report on the space shuttle explosion (he investigated it), where he places the blame squarely on the nasa management.

_Spin State_, by Chris Moriarty. Got alot of good reviews, and has a sequel out now. Should be enjoyable for cyberpunk fans, or if you liked _Altered Carbon_!
