I finished the Trilogy a couple months ago and found it thoroughly enjoyable. His "Alloy of Law" is good too if you enjoy that world (something like 1000 years in the future).



I'm 3/4 of the way though "The Long Sun". I still have awhile to go yet before I finish the full cycle

Almost through the ~600 pages of Michael Flynn’s “The Wreck of the River of Stars”, very enjoyable read (SF).

I'm a great comics fan, and I've read Maus a few times, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered MetaMaus in a bookstore yesterday. Pretty fascinating read.

For those who don't know it, Maus is a pretty interesting comic book about a holocaust survivor and his son. MetaMaus goes in detail into the process that brought the book to reality, through interviews with the author and those around him.

I'm trying to read book 2 of the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson but failing miserably to get into it at the moment which is a pity since I found the first one very easy to get absorbed in.

I read non go books all the time, seriously. I always buy new ones even if I have some that are still staying in my drawers unread. I usually like history, philosophy and knight novels. Books makes you understand life.
Speaking of which, I haven't bought any new books since last week. I have to do something about it...

Eric Idle (yes, THAT Eric Idle): “The Road To Mars”, a wonderful and hilarious SF thriller.

You won’t regret it can’t remember when I last read—enjoyed!—a book that was as funny AND clever AND thrilling at the same time. And boy, Idle must’ve read lots of SF and done quite some research to write something like this. It is a real science fiction thriller. Oh, and at times it’s quite sexplicit also

I got this one and Atlas Shrugged as a gift, and only got to half of the first... Seemed to drag on and on, while I could see where it would end. Not sure if it'd get better later, but I just got bored.
Still gathering courage to read Atlas Shrugged, since it's supposed to be a very important book.

Edit: By the way, since you mentioned funny books, this was an interesting article I stumbled upon on Cracked: http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-reasons-i ... nny-books/
