I was being slightly facetious, but still: that's almost a book per day. Quite an amazing skill.

haha yeh i know you had jokes going on, plus i re-read a lot of books which makes it quicker. I suffer from insomnia and find reading in the middle of the night or early morning a good cure, although sometimes that backfires and I get engrossed in a book and end up not sleeping at all

I guess it's cheaper than drunken midnight amazon shopping sprees. In the end I had to send that Po Demeron jacket back to Pakistan. Twice.

The Morgaine Stories, also known as The Morgaine Cycle, are a series of science fantasy novels by science fiction and fantasy writer C. J. Cherryh
Great book if you can get into the first couple chapters.

I've been spending most of my time recently reading ghost stories on the internet.
Any good ones you can recommend?

Keep in mind any genre is good for recs, hell I love Dick Francis novels.
Gotta say that there's nothing quite like a very hot bath, a very cold gin and tonic, and a Dick Francis novel. They're very well written and easy on a tired brain at the end of the day. They don't pretend to be literature unlike books by certain other writers. The heroes are all the same character but it doesn't really matter.
I'm a lightweight reader and a sucker for detective fiction but also sort of mystery/other crime stuff. I'm a big fan of Elizabeth George, the author of the Inspector Lynley series who's American but you'd never know it. She totally gets England and her characters are completely believable, IMO. There's never been one Americanism either.
Recently I've been reading a lot of Jodi Picoult who may be a bit girly for blokes but I'd hate to make generalisations. I love the 'moral dilemma with a twist' and endlessly wonder what I'd do in the same situation.
Which all reminds me I need to visit the local charity shops to pick up a new supply.

I tend toward the scifi/fantasy/horror genre
If this is so I would definitly recommend everything of H.P. Lovecraft. Just in doubt you didnt heard of him what I don´t think :)
I like his storys so much because of the scientific/cosmic horror.
Other very interesting books I´ve lately read are:
-Fingerprints of the Gods
by Graham Hancock
..about ancient cultures. Its a journalistic research on the mankinds past (Non-fiction)
-Ready player one
by Ernest Cline
..a novel about computergames, which I would recommend to ANYONE who see´s himself as a gamer

Yeh heard about Ready Player One, but totally forgotten about it, thanks for reminding me!
