I'm reading 'Shadows Linger' by Glenn Cook. Just finished 'the Black Company' about a month ago and I'm trying to find the time to continue the series.
Also re-reading Exalted 1st edition since I've got a new player interested in it so we might start a new FtF game. |

I'm reading "Cowboy Slang", "Never Ask A Man the Size of His Spread", and the "US Army Combat Skills Handbook". Character research. 
I'm also reading "Her Majesty's Spymaster: Elizabeth I, Sir Francis Walsingham, and the Birth of Modern Espionage", and "Between the Lines: the Subtle Elements of Fiction Writing". |

I am going through The Chronicles of Narnia. I am currently on Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Not tough books, but fun reads. |

I've been re-reading a lot of R.E.Howard Conan stuff because of playing Age of Conan.
Also reading 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay' by Michael Chabon. This was given to me. It's a novelization of the early years of comic books. K&C are like Kirby and Lee. It is very well written.

Current active books:
Mattingly, Renissance Diplomacy (research for GMing my Sunday afternoon game)
Csikszentmihalyi, Flow
Books that I haven't been reading but haven't given up on:
Melber, Judaism: a religion of reason (confusingly, this is a commentary on an earlier work by the same name, which I don't currently have access to)
Kohn, Punished by Rewards (interesting, but drowns the reader in extremely dry footnotes) |

Just finished Neal Stephenson's 'Quicksilver' fascinating look at a period of history I've always skipped. 1640 - 1700's. The birth of modern science.
Just started on 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss. It's written well but so far I have the impression that the reviews are wildly overblown.
