This thread hasn't been bumped in a while...so allow me!
I'm going to break the 3 book rule, but I will spoiler the pics, so I deem that to be ok.
Currently reading: Slan - A. E. Van Vogt
+ Show Spoiler +
I read another one of his books years ago and got hooked, then realized his books were hard to find nowadays...then my friend and I went to a used bookstore and I found (and bought) 8 of his other books! + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3699/vanvogt.jpg) ^^Just look at that 1940's-1970's sci-fi artwork!!! I also picked up 5 Vonnegut novels that I didn't already own (I have several V author addictions).
Also Currently reading: Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku
+ Show Spoiler +I'm not entirely understanding everything, so I may need to pick it up again later after I've read some other stuff, but either way still very interesting read.
Just finished: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
+ Show Spoiler +
Recommended by friends, liked it a lot.
Ok so I guess I lied about breaking the 3 book rule, but w/e, now post what you are reading!
