What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
-
For fiction, I'm about 70% of the way through Storm of Swords (third book in the Game of Thrones series, which is actually called A Song of Fire and Ice but most people don't seem to know it by that name.) I finally caught on to this series within the last year, after 2 previous failed attempts to get past the first 100 pages of the first Game of Thrones book. I've resisted the urge to watch the series until I'm done the books are done.
My current technical book is Training Kit (Exam 70-461): Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (I'm working my way towards some certifications in MS SQL Reporting Services; I've used the technology every day for the last 10 years and I'm still surprised by how many little tidbits and shortcuts I'm learning from the books)

I read this right after it came out. I learned a lot. It wasn't a bad read either.

Lol. It is pretty interesting. Larry is a nut.

I keep "The Virus Hunter" on my phone for emergency reading needs. I will be buying a couple of Richard Preston's books this weekend but I need to rediscover a few good books about viruses I got for Christmas.
Other than that lately I've just read some dog training books and my subscription to Musclecar Review. Professionally I'm reading CWTS Official Study Guide. -
@scottalanmiller PowerShell in Depth: An administrator's guide, and Windows Server 2012 Inside Out.

Finished reading An Endless Ring of Light yesterday and started reading Troubling a Star which so far is not too bad.
-
Finished Dragons in the Water last night. Now starting A House Like a Lotus. I am nearly done with the entire Madeleine L'Engle triple cycle.
-
Finished Troubling a Star and am now rereading Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. Another one from long ago.
