      I just started into the Honor Harrington series by David Weber.
      Pretty good, actually.

          It is very good at the beginning of the series, one of my favorites. Now Weber is Jordaning it.

            I started it because I saw 10 books. Hopefully, it stays interesting for a while.

              You can download most of David Weber's books (and a few other Baen authors) for free, and legally at http://ebooks.thefifthimperium.com/. Up until a few years ago he included all of his Baen published works on a CD that came with the hardcovers.

                  I've been a big supporter of David Weber through the years because he did/does that.

                    I should've noted how giving away his books on cdrom got me to actually purchase his books. How this is not a basic business option taught all over the place I have no idea.

                        Just noticed that this thread has a negative rating. Really? Seems like an odd thing for people to be opposed to.

                            Reading is anti-American.

                                I just finished a couple of really good books.
                                -The subtle art of not giving a fuck
                                -A man called Ove
                                Both were outstanding.

                                      Also read Fables from the Den. Which wasn't very good.

                                        @scottalanmiller Thought y'all were reading Harry Potter books.

                                            Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner

                                            I've had a few false starts with this one. Finally made myself read past the first few pages and it has drawn me in.

                                            Nearing the end and I am feeling like it deserves the Hugo it won in 1969 and its status as a classic of SF.

                                            https://www.tor.com/2011/02/06/hugo-nominees-1969/ is a pretty good write up of what was nominated elsewhere and what might have been overlooked altogether. Looks like that was quite the year for SF.

                                            Samuel R. Delany's Nova which got a nomination is definitely going on my to read list.

                                            Also of note: Ursula Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea was eligible that year but somehow didn't make the cut for any of the awards. This one is a personal favorite and it's a bit disappointing to see it got snubbed. It gets classified as YA but is absolutely worth a read for people of any age. Definitely recommend sharing with the kiddos for those of you with fantasy inclined spawn.
