Since getting my kindle I've been reading a lot more (even though I always read a lot anyway).
 
Hmmm recently read:
Name of the Wind: Patrick Rothfuss - Good fantasy book and the 2nd book will hopefully be out soon after being delayed 2! years.
 
Mass Effect 1 & 2 - Was replaying the games so thought I would re-read the books, was good rereading the 1st as there was a lot I didn't pick up on when I first read it as I hadn't played any of the games.
 
Currently reading Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson. This guy hitched from one end of Japan to the other following the cherry blossoms. Finding it a informative and entertaining read :)

I fancied reading some discworld the other day and since I couldn't remember where I had got to I was thinking about starting again. Can't decide the order to read them in tho... Published or by 'arc' ... hmmmmm.

I'm just about to finish '1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow' by Adam Zamoyski. A lovely new take on the first total war  :worried:

I'm mixing between The Book Thief, and Stephen Fry's autobiography. Both are really good, and because Stephen uses lots of big words in his book, it makes me feel slightly more intelligent (:

The Book Thief is about a young girl in Nazi Germany and narrated by death, so slightly more of a downer, but a good book nonetheless.

Beanissocoollike, if you like Stephen Fry's writing, his fiction is also well worth reading. I couldn't put down "Making History".

I just finished "I Shall Wear Midnight", not Pratchet's best but very enjoyable. One of these days I'm going to start from the beginning and read the lot, as I'm pretty sure there are discworlds I haven't read due to the chaotic order in which I've read them.

I'm reading CCNA books which are boring me to death and I'm half-way through proof-reading a sci-fi thing for a wannabe author.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.
