Re: What are you reading?
Just starting The Evolutionary Void by Peter F Hamilton.
This is the long awaited Book 3 of the Void Trilogy.

Re: What are you reading?
Yup - I had my copy delivered last week, but reading "The Mechanic" by Neil Asher first (it was a difficult choice).

I'm still holding off buying it. I think I'll read it when I go on holiday in October, but will wait to see if the price comes down before then

I'm reading 'The girl with the dragon tatoo' at the moment.

Me too - no doubt influenced by it becoming available relatively cheaply for my Kindle.
Very different genre to the sci-fi / tech adventure type stuff I usually read , but I'm enjoying it

Re: What are you reading?
So, now that I have my Kindle how about some suggestions for something different to read?
I'm into Stephen King - Heinlein and old SF.
Mind, I'll try anything once and all that.
I like a good 'end of the world' type book.

I'm back into an oldie of Daphne du Maurier 'House On the Strand' which is fairly escapist but there is never a certain ending to her work and... I don't think you'd like it - girlie stuff 
I'm no use am I

Larry Niven (The Mote in God's Eye, Ringworld Series, Lucifer's Hammer (end of the world type story)).
John Varley
S.M. Stirling, especially the Emberverse series starting with "Dies The Fire"
Neil Asher Polity Series
Richard Morgan, especially the Takeshi Kovacs series starting with "Altered Carbon"
John Scalzi "Old Man's War" series, very reminiscent of Heinlein.

Re: What are you reading?
Just finished All You Need Is Kill - Hiroshi Sakurazaka (Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day), and Roads Not Taken (Alternate History Anthology).
Still reading The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell, and The Technician by Neil Asher
