Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie (book three of The First Law) and I am Providence by S.T. Joshi (biography of HP Lovecraft). I'm reading the Abercrombie book as I picked up the first book of the series while on a trip so I'd have something to read on the plane. Totally hooked and would highly recommend for fantasy fans (think of it like reading a violent Tolkien).
I've been meaning to give this one a try. Next time I'll have to grab itThe Silmarillion..........It's pre-Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
Yeah it's nerdy.....so what
This is my #1 favorite book. LotR was good, but The Silmarillion is more impressive on a number of levels.0 -

I have three words of advice:
Read "Gone Girl"
It's an amazing book with twists and turns, and there is a movie to be released this year!
Just finished that. Brilliant book. I love that author.0 -
I am an audiobook kind of girl. Currently listening to 'A Princess of Mars' by Edgar Rice Burroughs0

Reading World War Z for the third time! SO WELL WRITTEN!0

I personally love Cormac McCarthy - just finished "The Road", which I found absolutely beautiful. I'm also reading the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, good for a laugh. If you feel like something intelligent and deep, along with stunning language, try Vladimir Nabokov. Or, if you love the English language and feel like a good scare, try M. R. James horror stories.0

'The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair' by Joel ****er
I'd never heard of it, but my hubs brought it home. So the first 20 pages or so were about a writer that has writer's block, and I'm just thinking man I hope the next 400 pages aren't about his stupid writers block. Long story short.... it's really good! Not going to give anything away but WOW!
Apparently it's a best seller. It's good.

Read Rebecca if you like that kind of thing. At least you'll be reading the original and not a poorly disguised plagiarism. And I was genuiniely surprised at the ending of Rebecca. I saw the twist in Gone Girl coming from the first chapter, not to mention the terrible, nonexistent character development. I couldn't bring myself to give a crap what happened to any of them.
But it was a quick, easy read, I guess. I've heard they're making major changes for the movie, which can only be a good thing.0 -

I read all of the John Carter books a couple of years ago before the movie came out. I don't know why I didn't read them as a kid, as I read a lot of ERB's other books.0 -
