I just finished Ready Player One, it was a great read, super interesting story, If you like the 80s and Arcade Games it's a must read.

As expected there's lot of nonfiction readers here. Does anyone else find that they get more out of fiction than nonfiction? There's a lot to learn from putting yourself in a character's shoes, seeing life through their eyes and witnessing their life unfold.

I'm currently reading 'Steppenwolf' by Hermann Hesse, and 'Of Human Bondage' by Somerset Maugham. Both novels are fictional representations of the author's life.

Pimp: Story Of My Life written by Iceberg Slim. Learned about it from the latest Chappelle standup special. Very dark and fascinating tale of a pimp in the 1940's. A lot of cold, calculating capitalist ideas abound in it.

Also just started Astrobiology: A Short Introduction which was recommended by a fellow HNer.

I just finished reading Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. It is the third book in the Stormlight Archive series. It was a fantastic read and the entire series is totally epic. Sanderson has many different trilogies, novels, and short stories in a universe he calls The Cosmere. If you like fantasy and haven't read any Sanderson, you should definitely check his stuff out!

* Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig - for some reason I never read this before although I've known about it for years. Enjoying it so far.

* How I Became Free in an Unfree World by Harry Browne - I read this years ago, but decided to re-read on a whim and it's surprising how relevant it still is.
