Finishing the Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks.
Next up is I think Murtagh by Christopher Paolini.

Currently reading Brute Force: cracking the data encryption standard by matt curtin.

The MANIAC

Slightly off topic but can anyone recommend a good android based ereader?

Edit: I mean a device, not an app.

I'm reading The Wager as well!

This is an excellent story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I saw another comment mention it but after you finish this, you must read (or listen to) "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. The narration was excellent. I borrowed the audiobook from libby and it was such an amazing story!

Your pick reminds me I really should get into some naval fiction. I used to love it on the screen (Hornblower, Master and Commander, etc), I'm a big fan of it's sci-fi equivalents, I was into sailing as a kid and I am a total sucker for command drama stuff. Frankly, I'm shocked I've never read any naval fiction as far as I can remember.

Ilium by Dan Simmons. Haven’t got to the end yet but already boggled my mind.

Just finished The Breach. Poor Jacob

Currently switching between Prequel by Rachel Maddow and Naked Empire (book 8 of the Sword of Truth series) by Terry Goodkind.

Slugging through book 6 of A Practical Guide to Evil. Still have about 4000 pages to get to the end of the series

If you didn't already read it: O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin Series. He greally goes deep into ships and sailing but the story is still compelling.

“A” Is for Alibi by Sue Grafton.

I found a book series to read from my local library and the librarian told me Sue passed away before she could finish her book series, so I took it up.

I'm one of those people who reads several books at once, swapping between them depending on my mood and engagement. Currently the great mortality by John Kerry, the salted earth by Jeff Somers, woken furies by Richard Morgan, a journal of the plague year by Daniel Defoe, velocity weapon by Megan O'Keefe, and a couple of others that I may not finish.

Gnomon. A massive disappointment.

Sorting the Beef from the Bull: The Science of Food Fraud Forensics. I saw it mentioned in one of the threads about the recent apple sauce food poisoning, and it's very interesting (whoever that was, if you are reading it, thank you!).

I just finished reading Leech, by Hiron Ennes. Very strange book, some described as Gothic horror science fiction. Thought provoking, but weird.

Currently on the third book of J. D. Kirk's Bob Hoon series

I've never laughed so much at an audiobook in my life.

Imagine if you took something like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and made it really Scottish, extra violent and incredibly sweary. That's Bob Hoon

Female villain - "I'd ask you to join our operation, Mr Hoon, but I know exactly what you'd say"

Hoon - "I'd tell you to shove it up your fish-hole, you badly-aimed batch of ejaculate"

Female villain - "Well ok, I didn't know exactly what you'd say..."
