I got my Kindle the other day and have been using and abusing it. Beyond awesome. I just finished Foley's latest book (which I can't recommend highly enough to wrestling fans) and I'm starting on Dracula. I'm trying to figure out if I want to read Bill Bryson's History of the World next or The Once and Future King by T. H. White. What's everyone else reading?

I'm currently reading nothing. I've been wanting to start on a book series, say either The Foundation Series, Ringworld, Book of the new sun, dark tower, one of those.
Being the huge nerd that I am, I am currently reading Star Trek: Typhon Pact - Zero Sum Game. Here's the blurb:
A spy for the Typhon Pact—a new political rival of the Federation—steals the plans for Starfleet’s newest technological advance: the slipstream drive. To stop the Typhon Pact from unlocking the drive’s secrets, Starfleet Intelligence recruits a pair of genetically enhanced agents: Dr. Julian Bashir, of station Deep Space 9, and Sarina Douglas, a woman whose talents Bashir helped bring to fruition, and whom Bashir thinks of as his long-lost true love.
Bashir and Douglas are sent to infiltrate the mysterious species known as the Breen, find the hidden slipstream project, and destroy it. Meanwhile, light-years away, Captain Ezri Dax and her crew on the U.S.S. Aventine play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a Typhon Pact fleet that stands between them and the safe retrieval of Bashir and Douglas from hostile territory.

Read Bill Bryson! I haven't read that particular book but I heard it was good. I read his book about Australia and the one about the Appalachian Trail. I'm a big fan of his writing.
I AM LOOKING FOR THE "HULKAMANIA" FONT. IF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET IT PLEASE SEND ME A PM. THANKS!

Yeah, I read his Appalachian trail book and loved it. The cool thing about the Kindle is that I can literally carry all these books around with me and flip from one to the other. Love that bad boy.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Last book in the "Hunger Games" trilogy. Last two books were amazing so I expect this to just blow my mind.
Just finished that this past weekend. Ugh. Such a major disappointment. I can't even really explain why without spoiling huge chunks of the book, but suffice it t say that several aspects of Part 3 ruined any redeemable qualities the book may have had for me.
Hunger Games is probably the best overall book of the trilogy. However, the second half of Catching Fire was definitely the highlight for me.
Haven't started a new book yet. I have a huge stack of options to choose from though. Went a bit crazy in September buying up all the books that interested me. NaNoWriMo begins next Monday, so I'll probably spend the next month focusing on writing instead of reading. Some writers can do both, but I have to do one or the other. Otherwise, I wind up ripping of whatever it is I'm reading.
