I usually read a lot of Dean Koontz books. Right now I'm in book 5 of the Harry Potter series... again.

I only read fiction or sci-fi.

Tablet + colour screen = reading digital comics!

Been reading a few different series and currently getting into Classic Dungeons and Dragons along with Red Sonja comics! I'm also looking forward to getting into a few other series like Witchblade and Spawn. All this alongside my regular online reading of comics such as Girl Genius and GunnerKriege Court

Resolute by Martin Sandler.
1850's The Resolute was sent to try and find what happened to 2 ships searching for the northern passage in the Artic.
When the Resolute was retired in 187o's the wood was used to make a desk that was presented to Rutherford B. Hayes. (More story there too)
But the desk some of us will remember as John-John Kennedy hiding under it.
Yes, the desk is still used today in the Oval Office.
I love this stuff

Excellent book. Makes the third book I have by Sir Jackie. Did you also get the DVD with the book?

My Comic reading continues for now (I'm sure I'll get a huge need for some epic novels at some point).

Aliens comics are proving to be great fun. Self contained stories that link together into a longer history of the xeno monsters and of the even more monstrosities of science. Any interested it basically takes off after the second film and builds from there - considering that the 3rd was very small in impact (prison world) and that the 4th kind of broke things just to get Sigorny into the lead again, they tie well into the world.

Vampire Requiem - seriously loving the dark gothic artwork in this. Story is a dark twisty path and the setting in an upside down world of hell is neat; but really the artwork steals the show! Good story though adds in so that its a wonderful complete package.

Metabarons - another series with some really fantastic artwork; this time less gothic and more high detail space opera. The story takes its inspiration from Dune so if you enjoyed Dune you'll like this universe with insane peoples and ritualistic upper classes.

"Foxglove Summer", by Ben Aaronovitch....how would the Met (that's the Metropolitan Police to you, squire) react if it had to deal with magic? it's the latest in a string of "Peter Grant" novels; apprentice wizard and police constable. Best to start at the beginning to avoid confusion. "Rivers of London" is the first, unaccountably called "Midnight Riots" or something in N America.

Crossing the River by Caryl Phillips. It was nominated for the Booker Prize back in the 90's. I happened across it in a book store and it is fascinating so far (about half-way).

"Profitable Photography in the Digital Age" by Dan Heller

http://www.amazon.com/Profitable-Ph...ywords=profitable+business+on+the+digital+age

I'm half way through this book, and even though it appears to be well researched, it has apparently not been proof-read before publishing. The author delves into the legalities of running a business from the point of view of an artist who leaves the financial end of things to someone else.
