Nophoto-m-25x33 Am reading Hornblower now, so 5 books would be hard ;)

One Missisippi was the best one in a long time!

2717941 I enjoy it a lot. It is one of many on my classics to be read list. I've rated a few other books on my profile.

2065206 Kenny, at least you've been busy these past few weeks! If there's some others you loved pre-ereader feel free to post. How was Of Human Bondage?

and am currently reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence

A few short Stories by Phillip K Dick.
Exhale by Ted Chiang

2065206 Let's try to keep them as ebooks, so everyone can share in the love :D Thought it would be nice to share some new favorites.

I'd have to say in the past few months, my top five (in no particular order):
1. In the Heart of the Sea The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick. Great history book about the Whaleship Essex.

2. Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning. This was (and I think still is) a Suvudu free library book. Totally a guilty pleasure, and I ended out buying the whole series.

3. The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough. Another great history book. Amazing how small decisions can have such an impact on so many lives.

4. Twenties Girl A Novel by Sophie Kinsella. Her books are a guilty pleasure of mine, and this one didn't disappoint. Heartwarming book :)

5. The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter. For paranormal romance lovers. I took a chance and bought the bundle on Sony (4 books for $13, not bad) and gobbled it all up.

What about you guys?
