    Dark Matter by Blake Crouch - a man is knocked out only to wake up in an alternate world. Great and fast read. I wouldn't be surprised if they made this into a movie.

    I'm reading, "Epidemiology"...by Leon Gordis. I'm trying to figure out how to infect you all (with wisdom, 100% serious). Have a great evening.

    I'm currently reading The Plague by Albert Camus and I, Partridge - Alan Partridge's 'autobiography'. Both masterpieces in very different ways.

    Right now my "reading time" is split between re-reading the "Ender's Shadow" series and preparing my second novel for publication.

    I just finished up Windwith by Susan Dennard.

    I'm now reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman (for the 2nd time). I wanted to re-read it before the tv show starts.

    I'm reading A Nation In Pain by Judy Foreman for a science book club. Super interesting look into the issues surrounding chronic pain, how it starts, how it's experienced and what to do about it. Really interesting discussion about the use of opioids and the cycle of pain.

    I'm reading: The Fate of Nations: F.I.R.E. Team Alpha by Ray Chilensky. I sometime read books and write a review for the author. I was in a group on Goodreads and we were talking about dystopian series and this author said I might like his so I'm reading it.

    I am so excited to see the critical revaluation of Stephen King. I knew it'd come one day!

    I have found a great new series. It's the lunar chronicles. It's a remake of some favorite fairy tales but set in the far future and it's really interesting and a real page turner.

    That's a tough one. I started reading it for a Geology class, so I might have been a little bitter toward it at first. But I didn't end up using it for my book report, so now I'm just reading it for fun. It's not what I would call an easy or fun read. It can get pretty heavy, but that's part of the reason I chose it. I just have to read it when I'm in the right mood. I think it's pretty good, but it's hard to get out of the mindset that it's for school. :smiley:

    The Found and the Lost: The Collected Novellas of Ursula K. Le Guin.

    She is probably my favorite writer, so I'm ready to dig in to this mighty tome.
