Just read the latest "Old Man's War" series installment by John Scalzi - "The End of All Things". Also the latest "Long Earth" book by Pratchett and Baxter (posthumous for Pratchett), "The Long Utopia". "1636: The Cardinal Virtues" from the "1632" universe series.
About to start "Proxima" and "Ultima" by Stephen Baxter.

I have a love, hate with Amazon. Enjoy the free books, but refuse to pay for the privilege of reading. That's what the library is for. BUT........... not ever book one reads in a series IS available there. A lot of writers are self published or through smaller distributors like BAEN.

I'm re-reading all the Sherlock Holmes stories, after a LONG time. Some are spoiled because I remember the plot, a lot of others are "like new" again.
One thing I'm doing this time that is fun, and possible now with Google, is looking up all the words/terms that made no sense at all due to being 1880's English. It has added a whole new level. Who knew there were so many terms for a carriage!

The Dresden series by Jim Butcher. Be warned - two folks I have referred these to have accused me of peddling literary crack.

IF anyone is interested in reading the series. I was gifted it and be happy to pass it on. WARNING : Book 1 is not included, or was when i received them.

Just started Starship Troopers.
Reread "Treasure Island" today. The classics will always be classic.

That was always a favorite of mine.
If you're going to reread some classics I always liked Swiss Family Robinson as well. Oh, and Ivanhoe was a good read many years ago.
