Let's play a game. I call this game "a cheap way for Gash to find books". It involves people telling me what they are reading under the pretense of being some sort of community activity resulting in a list of recommended books. Really it is because I am running out of things to read.

So what are you reading, kids?

I'm knee-deep in the dirty, absurd futurism of Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut. In the introduction he draws an asshole, and it looks quite a bit like this:

And the crowds flock to their local libraries...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and The Wolves of Calla by Stephen King. At the time same. Switching between the two. It's an odd mix. Trying to recapture my muse.

If you haven't read The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, then do so. There are, aditionally several prequels and sequals as good as, if not better than, the Trilogy. The robot series by Isaac Asimov also fits into the awesome Asimov universe, they're good reads as well, though maybe not as good as the Foundation stuff.

I'm rereading The Thousand Orcs by RA Salvatore because I'm too lazy to run out to my local book store and pick up a copy of The Two Blades.

I love to read just about anything by Harry Turtledove , who is the "master" of a little known genre called Alternate History.

Whether or not anyone else (besides Trachta) likes his work is however, not known to me.

Last book I read was the new one by Dan Simmons called "Ilium". It's got Sci-fi, Shakespeare and Homer, and manages to blend them all together into a very satisfying epic. Quite good really.

I recommend the following trilogy by Ted Dekker: Red Black White
Three seperate books in the trilogy. Very good science fiction type of futuristic end of world thing.

I have a copy of that stashed somewhere in my bookcase, haven't got around to reading it yet.
