If so, one of my favorites. Read it a long, long time ago

Damn Must be nice to have the time. Most of my reading the last two years has been Tech manuals

Last Novel was Fatal Revenant by Stephen R Donaldson
 
I just finished 'Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal' by Chris Moore. I loved this book, I'm inspired to read more of his.

Started 'Cell' by Stephen King...it was a birthday gift. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with it. I like King, but some of the last ones kinda stunk. Nothing will ever compare to the Dark Tower series...

On Deck after Cell, in no particular order:
'Until I Find You' - John Irving
'Catch-22' - Joseph Heller
'Practical Demonkeeping' - Chris Moore
 
I'm starting this series again;

I kind of lost interest in the dark tower series after the one with blane the train... WTF? I really enjoyed the first couple, then... well. I just dont know.
 
The Dark Tower series definitely had its ups and down. There was some boring/useless parts in books 5 & 6, but overall I think it was good.
 
Discounting what I read work related (currently,Maintenance Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions I probably read one non-fiction for every ten fiction books. Image below has recent history/present/future.

I've also read all the previous Bond books (Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever, From Russia with Love).
Since Christmas I've read Sam Calagione's Brewing up a business, and Ray Daniel's Designing Great Beers.
And I have a bunch of textbooks to read during University semesters.
 
In the main bathroom I have "The History of the Irish Race"...

In bathroom #2, "World Mythology"...

On my computer desk I have "The Ruins"...the one from the movie...

In the TV room I have the newest edition of "BYO"...:D
 
Until the end of May, I will be reading a survey of British Literature. I teach 12th grade Brit Lit, so my reading lists are largely dependent upon what I am teaching this year.
