A friend of mine is having an issue.  I've always been an oddball as I've alreadys read some sort of textbook.  Peoples fantasies have never interested me much.
Magazines are about as close to I come to what most people read.
If I'm engrossed I can read a magazine cover to cover in 20 minutes.

So, yeah I'm an oddball.

Status: offline 		Recently: World War Z by Max Brooks (son of Mel); Shooting War, a graphic novel by Anthony Lappe and Dan Goldman; Against the Machine by Lee Siegel, which takes a potentially great topic (the pervasiveness of an extremely shallow "culture" as the major result of the internet), and applies vague and generalized analyses based on his observations to reach conclusions that are...um...shallow; Ghost Wars (again!) by Steve Coll...anything but shallow; and, right now, Scorpion Down by Ed Offley, about the destruction of an American nuclear attack submarine, possibly by the Soviet Union as a response to the sinking (possibly accidental) of one of their missile subs within striking range of Hawaii. It's nonfiction.

Status: offline 		I did recently read a book about Blackwater USA (cant recall the title).  It was interesting..seemed fairly unbiased.  (oddly enough, at the hotel where I work, we have a couple of Blackwater people coming in soon....).  When I get to work tonight I can check the title and will post it.

Status: offline 		Oooh, nice question Greedy and I've been avidly looking up some of the book titles mentioned here. I recently read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, which I highly recommend. While I'm not religious I do have a 'thing' for books that have an historical/theological basis, so also recommend David Hewson's 'Rome' series which centres on crime within Vatican City.

I'm about to start reading The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry.

Status: offline 		On my multiple re-read list would be
Karen Marie Moning's Paranormal/TT series - very well researched - she even lists some of her research books at the back of a couple of her novels.
Christine Feehan's Mind and Drake series, though I also read her Dark series
JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series
Angela Knight Master's series
