I don't read as much as I want to. I pick up a book read a few chapters and put it down. I'm bad at finishing stuff. Here are a few books that I've actually finished recently.
It's like a slasher horror movie in book form. Quick read.

Read this a few years ago. Pretty cool.

I still need to finish Neverwhere.
I just picked up Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy. I should knock that out this weekend.

I can't forsee anything from barefaced not handling the sub from the blue box.
Got a splitter cable to power the Dunwich at 18v...FULL POWER MODE ACTIVATED.
Me too. I'm a terribly slow reader and have a horrible memory so I forget what I just read and have to reread things a lot, that makes reading books not very enjoyable to me. Anytime someone talks about a book I just think to myself, "man I wish it wouldn't take me months to read something that, it sounds really cool." Took me like 2 years to read all of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And I'm about 1/3 way through Leaves of Grass and that's taken me over a year.
I do like to read random articles on the interwebs though.
what do you like reading?
I read a lot of fantasy stuff, more of the sword than sorcery kind, so I could list some authors I really like.
I guess it just depends what kind of genre you think you would enjoy the most.
I still have trouble. I like sci fi and horror. There are tons of awesome books out there. Which I want to read or have sitting in a box waiting to be read. It's so much easier to watch a movie.
I also picked up a Terry Pratchett book. First in the Discworld series. I'm looking forward to that. It's supposed to be comedy fantasy. I think there are like 40 books or something.
I read the first book in The Icewind Dale Trilogy. Main character is a bad a$$ dark elf.

I read the first 11 books of the Wheel of Time. Really enjoyed them, but the time lapse between the last one he wrote, and the resurrection of the series after his death means I'd have to go back and reread the 11th book again just to pick up where I left off. since then, I've discovered other authors that do more for me, such as Joe Abercrombie, who I recommend most highly.
Reading recommendations... Khan you dig it?
"Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" By Jack Weatherford if you want some fascinating non-fiction
"Genghis: Birth of an Empire" by Conn Iggulden if you want some page-turnin', hoof-poundin', enemy-slaughterin' historical-fiction action. The second book in the series is good, too. I read the third as well, but it kind of lost me there.
"Mongoliad Book One" by Erik Bear, Neal Stephenson, Mark Teppo, and others. A bit more cerebral than the above, and a bit more awesome in my estimation. I'm reading book two now.

Almost anything by Frank Herbert. Read Dune - you'll finally know what the hell was supposed to be going on in the movie!
I just read Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" recently and really enjoyed it. Terry Pratchett and older Stephen King have always been some of my favorites. If you like Pratchett, the good news is you'll never run out of books lol. I used to read a lot more science fiction, but haven't in a long time, so I'm not up on who's good anymore. I always liked Asimov, Bradbury, Ellison. I enjoyed the Dune series as well, though it got kinda wacky as it went on.
That is where I am too... I want to find time to go through and re-read the whole thing, but that is like 16,000 pages to cover of super complex story line.
Also this....
You know you need to get out more when it is Friday and the big joy of the day is that Season 8 of Trailer Park Boys is released on Netflix today LOL.
I've been reading a lot of history books about the Inca and Maya and central/south America in general. I find it really goddamn fascinating - but it's hard to recommend to other people because the books are generally really, really dry.
I suggest "Dinner at Deviant's Palace". It's short, it moves, it's weird, it's sci-fi, the lead is a musician, and it's where I found my band's name.
History in general is super dry. But if you're into history it's not bad.
If I get into any historical books, it would probably be samurai stuff. Or any old world Japanese stuff.
