What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
-
I'm reading the Sanctuary series by Robert J. Crane. On Book 2 of the original trilogy. Quite enjoyable so far.
-
I just got the audio book of Hitchhiker's Guide.... read by Stephen Fry. Trying to make time to sit and read an analog book is next to impossible, so I'll read while in the car.

I haven't been reading a lot lately... when I do I generally binge a series in a few nights. The last series I read was The Laundry Files by Charles Stross, can't wait for the next one to come out.

Does the MC FTB Infinity Evolved in-game "manual" count?
Lol

Probably not but it can be a bit dense.

Audiobooks are a must for long road trips...

Just finished some Alistair Reynolds, going back to reread some Neal Asher after seeing Musk is also into it.

I'm an Audible addict.

Just finished Relentless by Tim Grover. Really good book on success mindset and motivation.

@scottalanmiller If you haven't read it already, you should read "The Egyptian" by Mika Waltari while you're still in Crete.

Don't know that one.

@RamblingBiped 2 hours a day in commute = long trip.

I used to be three, it was horrible. Boy did I go through books, though!

Between work, school, and studying, I rarely have time to read anything but tech related stuff. But when I do get time, I'd really like to continue reading the Ender's Game series. I read the first one (Ender's Game), and got side tracked on the second (Speaker for the Dead). Then maybe I can read the Shadow Saga (Ender's Shadow.... based on another character).
-
@BBigford Ender's Shadow is fantastic! I've not read the rest of the series because I've heard it is a bit of a disappointment. I've read a fair amount of Orson Scott Card, and his Mither Mages series are decent. "The Lost Gate", "Gate Theif", and "Stone Father" all take place in the same world, with "Stone Father" being a short novella only slightly related to the plot of the others. I've still yet to read "Gate Father", which was release this last October and the third book in the series. His Pathfinder series is also supposed to be a great read.
-
Has anyone read any of the Discworld series? I've heard good things but haven't read it yet.
-
@coliver I've started the first book, but just couldn't get into it. It is an extremely popular series that has a huge following and a massively well developed world/storyline.

I was hooked on Ender's Game early. Speaker for the Dead got a little dry, so getting distracted was pretty easy but I want to finish. I heard the series kind of drops off though... I heard Ender's Shadow was out of this world amazing. I also had heard mentions of The Lost Gate. I'll have to check that out.
