I'm currently reading Every Living Thing, the fifth and final book in James Harriot's All Creatures Great and Small series (or the eighth if you're from the UK, the first 6 were published as 3 books in the US). Before that I read GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human, by Thomas Thwaites, and before that was Douglas Adams's Starship Titanic, which was not written by Douglas Adams, but by Terry Jones of Monty Python fame.

So what are you reading?

I don't really read, though a few months ago I read the first and most of the second book in the Dragonlance Chronicles, I should finish that one and the third too.

Cool, one of the reasons I know of the series is because I read The Kinslayer Wars in middle school, also Time of the Twins and War of the Twins, sadly the school did not have Test of the Twins so I didn't know how it ended lulz, rip.

I was just at the town library one day awhile back and looked the series up.

Just found an old copy of I, robot. I read that and The Illustrated Man. I've been in a nostalgic scifi mood lately.

Absolutely amazing book, I'd also recommend Bobby's Fischer's My 60 Most Memorable Games and Kasparov's How Life Imitates Chess.

As for the topic, I'm currently reading Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now and a collection of short stories by Leo Tolstoy.

Great, thanks for the recommendations. Kasparov has a reasonably large collection of books so it's tough to work out where to start with his biographies etc.

Aside from this topic, a couple of favourite re-reads - Ashes of Honor by Seanan McGuire, from the October Daye series (no, it isn't an Honor Harrington book, despite the title - McGuire is a far better writer than Weber!) on Audible, and The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, the first book of her Wayfarers series (yes, the one that won the Hugo for Best Series in August, though the Toby Daye books were nominated alongside it), in print.

Two of many books I love to re-read, every so often. I've been re-listening to the Toby Daye books in preparation for being able to finally get hold of the latest in the series, The Unkindest Tide, after the audiobook of that was delayed (the Kindle editions take years to come out for my region, & nowadays so do the paperback editions of this series, which annoys me because I can't read it in hardback). Also, you should see the state of my copy of TLWTASAP! Thoroughly dog-eared and well-loved.

Anyway, I tend to listen to Audible editions while grinding at games, or doing something else that's fairly monotonous & doesn't need much attention, so I can comfortably have my attention directed at one thing while my hands are occupied by another.

The Richest Man in Babylon

Such a good read so far. One of my coworkers recommended it to me a few months ago but I really only dedicated reading time to it a few weeks ago.
