I've read voraciously since I was a kid. I keep buying books and since I now have less time for reading than I did when I was younger (although I still manage to keep a few on the go at any one time), I now have a backlog. At last count, I had almost 500 books waiting. But I'll get to them eventually.
Currently reading Guy Gavriel Kay's latest, "Under Heaven", about half way through Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility", also started Rick Atkinson's "Day of Battle", and I'm reading Suzanne Collins' "Catching Fire" to my daughter.
Jungletoad: I found "Cryptonomicon" was one helluva good read.

I read so many books while growing up. But after I started work I rarely have time to read these days.
If I start reading a book I tend to get sucked in, and the it's 4am, and then i'm dead at work the next day. Oh to be a kid again.
The last books I read that I really got into were the Song of Ice and Fire books. Awesome, yet I'm unhappy they're going to drag on to more than 4 books. I've been wary of big series ever since Wheel of time. *goes off to google if that's been finished yet*
Read a couple of dull but short detective novels recently because they were lying around.
Now (on and off over the last few weeks) I'm reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
It's awesome. It's interesting. It's weird and disturbing. It's freaking long... might finish it this century.
ovoon: I BARELY read for fun. I read Eragon when it came out... the movie and popularity made me not like it anymore.
You know it's weird. When I was a kid I wrote lots of sub standard derivative copies of star wars and lord of the rings. But no-one gave ME millions of dollars for them. I think I needed more x-wings/dragons. ;-)

Not yet. But Brandon Sanderson is finishing them, and looks like it's going to be done in a bout a year and a half.

You nailed it. I'm amazed at how many people like it. Poorly written, let alone being derivative, IMO.

I've read all of his books. I am nor fan nor hater. It's quite good, better than Žamboch.
And I like Cestu krve (The way of Blood) and his short stories, but not the - It's seven am, time to kill some cop :-D
