Books - What Are You Reading / What Do You Recommend?

I'll admit to being a bit of a bookworm. Looking for something new. I've read American Sniper, Into the fire, Fearless, The Red circle as well non-fiction like the Game of Thrones epic and Blood Meridian. Currently I'm reading The Twelve. I know there are a few buried threads on this but anybody have something new that blew them away? Not much of a TV guy

I know bud...but this reading is cheaper, at least for now.

"Paul Revere's Ride." It's about the opening days of the American Revolution. Very well writen and entertaining to read for a non-fiction history book.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, it is a trilogy. Really anything by Brandon Sanderson.

I've suggested this series and this author on here several times, but I don't think I've had anyone actually read it/him yet.

We need a Book Thread sticky. I'm a bit of a bookworm myself.

The Name of The Wind and the sequel The Wise Man's Fear are the best novels I've read recently. There is a third coming at some point. It's Harry Potter for adults. Very well written, captivating, and exciting.

Anything by Orson Scott Card. I recommend starting with the Ender's Game quadrilogy, but really anything by Card is guaranteed to be fantastic.

I also strongly recommend The Name of The Wind, it is the most well written book I have ever read. Where you can imagine what is going on in most books, you really feel what the main character feels in this. Haven't read The Wise Man's Fears yet (sitting on my night table while I read a few other things) but I am REALLY looking forward to it.

I would also second the Ender Quartet, very engaging and thoroughly entertaining.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, it is a trilogy. Really anything by Brandon Sanderson.

I've suggested this series and this author on here several times, but I don't think I've had anyone actually read it/him yet.

I've only read Elantris as a solo work by Sanderson (which was a great book, and amazing when you consider that it was the first thing he ever wrote), but the Mistborn Trilogy is in my To Read pile. His completion of the Wheel of Time series has been excellent.

For Non-Fiction, I would add:
Lies the Government Told You, Andrew Napolitano
End the Fed, Ron Paul

Both of these books are almost sickening in their reality. Lies covers a range of topics, while End the Fed obviously only focuses on one, but both give solid examples of all the things I really felt were going wrong in this country. I don't usually appreciate a book making me angry, but these have been an exception.

Harry Potter was a book for adults. Also, we already have a books thread around here some where, it's just not stickied.
