Absolution Gap by Alastair Reynolds. Third book of the Revelation Space trilogy.

Godel, Escher, Back: an Eternal Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter.

For all you computer science, logic, philosophy, or number theory geeks out there, this book was made for you.

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

I'm pretty sure A Song of Ice and Fire will end in a Zombie Dragon Apocalipse by now. :)

Having started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and loving it, I'm interested in reading some of Salvatore's books - anyone got any recommendations about where to start?

The Dark Elf Trilogy, for sure. Who wouldn't want to meet the famous Drizzt Do'Urden, mentioned throughout the whole Baldur's Gate saga?

But a word of warning, even though he's a good writer, I for one consider him totally overhyped in the geek world.

Having finished "A Dance with Dragons" which I actually really enjoyed, despite some negative reviews, I was going to start the latest Lee Child but I was too late and it's been nabbed from the bookshelf by my son! :)

In the meantime while I'm waiting for him to finish I'm reading some Star Wars novels by James Luceno - "Darth Plagueis" and now "Cloak of Deception". They're OK, just a fun enjoyable read if you like the characters and way better than a lot of the drivel in the franchise... Not exactly high brow I know but they pass the time nicely. The only other thing is the New Scientist magazine which is always worth a flick through.

Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card

The Ender and Shadow sagas were a bit disappointing. Especially the Shadow saga had hardly any sci-fi in it, and the Ender saga relied too much on sudden solutions to their problems at the ends of the books. Still the first parts were interesting, although I normally don't like reading about the adventures of kids and teenagers.

Finished Absolution Gap a couple of days ago - overall, it was a good but uneven read, and didn't have a satisfying ending.

Now, I'm reading <span class="bold">Pushing Ice</span> by A. Reynolds. I'm closing to 1/3 of the book and so far it's been very good.

Firewall, the third book of the Nick Stone thrillers by Andy Mcnab.

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

Finally gotten around to reading Martin's Game of Thrones, the first 100 pages have seemed very promising.

Information on various joystick types, tips on repair and custom making, generally looking for information on optical joysticks an the C64, mostly because i got two SVI Quickshot I's and they need work.
Howard's The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian
Ludlum's Bourne Idenity [on hold]
Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal [on hold]

Actually go to the Icewind Dale Trilogy first then Dark Elf. Drizzt is introduced with rest of the main charachter's who (mostly ) are with him in all the books except Dark Elf (this is about how he came about and time in Menzoberranzan and leaving it).
Cleaned around my room and decided to read again - reading 'Area 7' by Matthew Reilly...

Finished Pushing Ice. The book is a nice read, especially the first half, but infinitely dumb main characters made me want shove them outside an airlock into unforgiving outer space...

Now starting to read Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton.

Today I have started reading Pyramids from Terry Pratchett.
Two days ago I have finished Legion by Dan Abnett.
