    I just started the most recent Jeaniene Frost novel Up from the Grave (last one in her Cat and Bones series). I have so much going on I needed something that wasn't too in depth. I re-read the entire series so I could experience them in order (there were some side novels I read after the main series the first time I read them).

    I am also reading Deeply Odd the most recent Odd Thomas novel by Dean Koontz.

    After watching the Tour de France in July and currently watching la Vuelta a Espana (like the Tour de France, but in Spain) I'm in full-on bicycle racing mode. Accordingly, I just finished "Etape: 20 Great Stages from the Modern Tour de France" by Richard Moore and I'm currently working on "Slaying the Badger: Greg LeMond, Bernard Hinault, and the Greatest Tour de France" (also by Moore) and "The Death of Marco Pantani: A Biography" by Matt Rendell. That's in addition to whatever Sci-Fi or whatever book I happen to pick up when I'm looking for something lighter.

    Wow, I love this thread! I was just going to post on FB to ask for recommendations, but have taken many from here. I'm currently listening to a book called 40 Acres, and it has been a lot of fun. A fantastical idea, and pretty good suspense. I also recently read Blue Latitudes, about Captain Cook and the places he visited, and the author is retracing the routes and considering the current state of those places. I just got my son a book called In a Sunburned Country, and just reading the back of the book made me want to move to Australia.

    Reply to several other posts here: I am waiting for an audio book of Outlander, but might have go ahead and get the book version, I see a few recommendations for that on here. Love Hollow City and Ms. Peregrine! I just recently came across house of leaves on Amazon good reads, and I went back and forth, and decided it might be too weird for me. Once I start reading a book, I have trouble stopping, even if it isn't good, I keep hoping it will get better, and then if it never does, I'm pissed! So I was a little worried House of Leaves might be like that for me. I want it to be good, not just weird!

    The Odyssey - Homer
    The Beautiful and The Damned - F. Scott Fitzgerald
    Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs

    Felt like a bit of a lighter read for the moment, thus Miss Peregrine's, it's very good easy reading though! Soon to be turned in to a film, I think.

    Just finishing Stephen King's Mr Mercedes then will be starting Peter James's Want You Dead (book 10 in the Roy Grace series)

    I'm a Stephen King fan, for the most part. Did you know that his son also writes pretty good stories? His name is Joe Hill, and if you like Stephen King, i bet you will also like Joe Hill.

    I'm about 3/4 of the way through Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I just started Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto.

    OMG me too. I'm about 1/4 through. Love me some Gaiman! Did you read "American Gods?"

    American Gods was great. Supposedly Starz has picked up the rights for a TV series.

    Finishing No Less Than Victory, 3rd WW2 novel by Jeff Shaara.

    Anansi Boys was a lot of fun! I know it's a kids book, but I also liked the Graveyard Book, by Gaiman as well.

    I am, for about the fourth time, reading King's The Stand. One of my favorite books of all time. I'm also reading George R.R. Martin's A Dance With Dragons

    I have to admit that most of my reading consist of reading online articles. However, I had been reading a book entitled Safety for the Forensic Identification Specialist by Nancy E. Masters and a book entitled Crime Scene Investigation (The Third Edition) by Jacqueline T. Fish, Larry S. Miller, Michael C Braswell, and Edward W. Wallace Jr...

    I have read these books because I am currently taking an advance crime scene investigation technology class, and a crime scene safety class at Eastern Florida State College. I do read some hard copy material for pleasure but they are Zumba Instructor Manuals.
