    The Singularity Is Near:When Humans Transcend Biology-Ray Kurzweil

    Recommend or not?Probably recommend, because it is thought provoking, even if the authors concepts are a little bit dubious at times.

    Awesome - I did my dissertation on how science fiction's treatment of the Singularity has evolved over time, focussing mainly on Isaac Asimov, Philip K. **** and William Gibson. It is the most interesting subject ever: researching and writing it about 18 months ago was one of the most fun things I've done ... :)

    The Gunslinger by Stephen King. I would most definitely recommend this.

    Yay a King/Hill fan! Or I hope you are a King fan anyway.

    I've just started The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare from The Mortal Instruments series. But I'm also half way through A Dance of Dragons by George R.R. Martin from A Song of Ice and Fire series.

    I'm reading "A Storm of Swords" book 1 by George R.R. Martin.
    It's amazing and I would recommend it if you have already watched the show or read the previous books :happy:

    Same here, almost done with it. I'd recommend it even if you haven't watched the show (it differs a bit) but of course after reading the first two.

    Distant Hours - Kate Morton.

    I read Kate's Secret Keeper, and though the first chapters are quite slow, and I was close to give up on the book, I kept going.. Until it trapped me! So good!

    This one seems to be like that.. The first chapters, the lady who narrates annoyed me (similar as in Secret Keeper), but it shifted and so far it's good!

    (I usually read them on my iphone while I'm doing my daily 40 min cardio warm out at the gym haha don't judge!)

    A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. I love the Game of Thrones series on tv. This is actually a reward for my husband losing 5 kilos. I promised to read this book and discuss it to death with him. So far I'm loving it.
