Man. A defence of 'I came for brain fluff' at the library? Doesn't work so well when one of the books is a ten pound, five hundred page examination of Asiatic mythology.

I want to know what you're reading. Recommend something to me. I've pretty much cleared out Swift's library, and I've plowed through almost the entire backlog of books by authors I read.

Mystery, general or speculative fiction, fantasy, horror, anthologies, biographies, historical accounts, treatises on science, religion, and sociopolitics? I'll take them all. The only rider is that I'm not a huge science fiction fan, but good characterization will win me over any day.

What have you been perusing?
