Thread: Books - Who reads in their spare time?

You aren't the only fan of the Wheel of Time. It's pretty good. I like to read here at work when I get caught up on everything, which is a nice perk of my office job.
For you sci-fi fans out there, try reading David Brin. I would suggest starting with the Uplift Wars series. Book one is called "Sundiver". The books are pretty heavy into science, so if you like more fiction than science they may not be for you.
"Harlot's Ghost" by Norman Mailer is another great book. It's about the CIA in the late 60's - 80's. Very intriguing book. I had to read it with a dictionary to figure out what some of the words were and I was an English Major! It's got some seriously twisted subject matter (at least to me), so don't say I didn't warn you.
Lately I've been reading books about the military, there was one really good one that's pretty current... I can't remember the name... When I get home I'll post it. My point was that it was very good.
Can you tell I grew up in a home without a TV? We read a lot, and I guess I never lost the habit.

Y'know... I tried really damn hard to like the Wheel of Time series. I absolutely loved what Jordan did with the setting and characters and mythos... but I can't fucking stand his writing style at ALL. *headdesk* I got through about seven of the books before I swore off reading any more of that series until he finished it.

*sigh*
