    Jasper Fforde! His nursery crime books are great.. The Big Over Easy and The Fourth Bear. And definitely try Shades of Grey also by him, so inventive! It's down right painful waiting for his next book to come out.

    The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon...fantastic!! I read the Game of Thrones series, the Harry Potter series, the Twilight series, 50 Shades of Grey series, Hunger Games series, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (the whole series), and I am currently in the middle of The Dresden Files series. I have read everything by Vince Flynn (American spy series). Also, The Power of a Praying Wife, and I want to work on Mere Christianity (and loads other by C.S. Lewis). I dabble in everything ;)

    Just finished Lamb, by Christopher Moore, starting Kindred, by Octavia Butler and listening to John Dies at the End, by David Wong. I highly recommend The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, by N.K. Jemisin. It's the first in an amazing trilogy. Also, anything by Neil Gaiman is worth reading. And Hart's Hope by Orson Scott Card... I read that one about once a year.

    I am reading The Hunger Games Trilogy as well. Just finished Book 1 day before yesterday, and am probably about 2/3 of the way through the second. Am actually looking for ideas of what to read after I finish reading it, so thanks for the thread!

    A Storm of Swords. The third in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series (A Game of Thrones). I've loved the whole series so far. Loooooong books, but worth the commitment.


    I am on the fourth book of the series...."A Feast for Crows" and I am almost done with it and am waiting for the 5th book to come to paperback so I can read it!

    With as long as they are, I figured I'd need to take a break with a shorter, "fluffier" book between installments. But I've just been immediately starting the next one when I finish one. That's one good (and bad) thing about having a Nook: I can get a new book in minutes, as long as I have an internet connection.

    The Passage by Justin Cronin. Utterly un-put-downable. Not your usual run-of-the-mill post apocalyptic clap trap. Can't recommend highly enough.

    I'm just now reading the first book of a Game of Thrones...started to after I watched the first couple episodes and was intrigued. Also, I'm reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, an intereresting book that explores what would happen to the world if human all of a sudden disappeared.

    We bought the first season on blu-ray after we both finished the first book. I like the series, but I much prefer the books. I felt like there were some things happening in the series that might not make a ton of sense if you didn't have all the information he gives in the books.

    I agree. I watched the first episode of the HBO series then I read the first two books within a couple of months. Even though I have read the books, I still don't know all the characters on the series! He jumps around a lot too which may make it hard (for some)

    I've just finished reading the first five Game of Thrones novels back to back for the fifth time (yes, each book five times) - admittedly this may seem a bit insane, but not many series you could do that with!

    Decided I need a Game of Thrones break now, so re-reading collected works of Neil Gaiman (recommend more or less anything, but particularly American Gods).

    LOL I'm the same way with books. But this is my first time around with Game of Thrones

    Organizational Behavior: I am reading it prior to my class stating in about 2 weeks. I am working on my masters in project management. Sorry that I can't recommend anything really worth an "interesting read"....I did get some good ideas from everyone else. I am going to have to get the hunger games books.

    If your tastes run to light and funny, read Gini Koch's Alien series. Will definitely put a grin on your face. Other favorite authors:

    Ilona Andrews
    Patricia Briggs
    Faith Hunter
    Seanan McGuire

    Have a couple of Joyce Meyer's books, lots of English and French history and biographies.

    I also heart Anne McCaffrey, David Eddings, and Georgette Heyer (unfortunately her Regency books aren't available as epubs.)

    For the Neil Gaiman fans, have your ever read "Good Omens"?
