I just finished the Hunger Games series and am on book 3 of the Game of Thrones. I did plenty of heavy intellectual reading over the past three years while getting my Masters so I'm just rotting my brain now with some good fiction.
I just finished "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. It was GREAT. If you're into Fantasy, keep an eye out for this guy. He's really good. I will be starting his second book in the series titled, "The Wise Man's Fear". Can't wait!
Almost finished with the fourth book in George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, good story but not nearly as good as the first 3. Unfortunately what happened with the fourth/fifth books is that the publishing company told GRRM that his final book (the fourth and fifth combined) was too long so it needed to be cut down. He decided to add characters that were never introduced in previous books to help lengthen the story in the 4th book. Hoping the 5th book is not as slow-paced as the fourth.
Wind Through the Keyhole - Stephen King. Man, getting back into a Dark Tower story is like revisiting old friends. This might motivate me to read the entire series over again.
An Economic and Social History of the Ottoman Empire. Though it is 2012 but this book is taking me back in 1600-1914 era. Looking at the new Istanbul from the 14th floor, smoking cigars and going back an forth to history and present day through reading this book gives me enchanting feeling. The world is a beautiful place.
I've been reading RA Salvatore's Forgotten Realms series, started on the Cleric Quintet last night. This guy knows how to do fantasy, I can't stop reading.
