Reading Material
My recommendations

If you are caught up in the George R.R. Martin Song of Ice and Fire series which is real good and you are longing for more Dragon intense fiction you are in luck:

A Game of thrones
Clash of Kings
Storm of Swords
A Feast of Crows
A Dance with Dragons



Then pick up Naomi Novik's six book series Temeraires good as Martins series maybe better



 
Throne of Jade
Black Powder War
Empire of Ivory
Victory of Eagles
Tongues of Serpents
Who knew there is a book 7:  Crucible of Gold

Need more:  child prodigy, Christopher Paolini Eragon, Eldest and newly released Brisingr are awesome


AND then if you still are not sated go back to the Dragons of Pern series by Ann McAfferny
But on to other genres

SCI-FI:

Robert Charles Wilson's Hugo winner: SPIN and AXIS are top notch.



As is Greg Bears: Hull Zero Three





Mystery/Cop genre, Well my favorite author ever James Lee Burke has got: Three relatively new books:
Rain Gods, and its sequel A Feast Day for Fools both Billy Bob Holland novels
and
Glass Rainbow, A Dave Robicheaux








In non fiction:

Walter Isaacsons Steve Jobs is very good, Hey my fingers were crossed before, no pic needed.

There is Michio Kaku - Physics of the Impossible for the other person in the universe that cares.




I've gone back and reread two Seth Godins Books: Purple Cow and Tribes because they are important to understand marketing and people.



And I recommend Malcolm Gladwells Outliers which I went back and re read the Beatles chapters and the Hockey chapters. Great book if you want to know what made the Beatles, Wayne Gretsky and others great as well as why most NHL players are born in just three different months. It wouldn't hurt at all to check out Tipping Point and Blink for great Biz incites



















OK Then, Beware I also listen to a lot of obscure Music and that's coming soon.
