Books I've read recently, and liked
Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour bookstore. I really liked this one! The cover is glow in the dark, too.
The art of racing in the rain. I ususally hate dog books, but this was pretty good.

Right now I'm "still" reading through book2 of a song of ice & fire. It's good, but it takes the plot forever to happen, and when it does, it's super quick and glossed over (Specifically on this second grievance, I'm referring to the deaths of two characters, happens 3/4 of the way through "a clash of kings". WTF!)
Ready player one is on my to-read list, I'm also finishing up discworld. I have maurice leblanc (YEAH!), doyle and o henry on tap from gutenberg, and I think I have 2-3 dead tree discworld books I've not read yet.
I've been leaning my personalized signed copies of The name of the wind and the wise man's fear (Rothfuss is probably my favourite author, but he takes ages to write a book. 10 years for the first, and 4 years for the second) to friends (Yes, I have friends. I blame it on "dorks" being cool now), and they loved them.
I can't wait for Sanderson's upcoming "The Rithmatist". I have liked him ever since Elantris was new.
