Just finished Shadow of the Hedgemon by Orson Scott Card. I really never intended to read an entire series of books by one author. My intention was to read Ender's Game and then let it go. But someone told me that the next book was pretty good and different from the first (this was Speaker For the Dead). So I picked it up and consumed it like a bag of Fritos.
After reading each book I gave it to my mother, who reads a lot. She in turn loaned me copies of Card's Women of Genesis books, Sarah and Rebekah. I never would have picked them up on my own, but I was on vacation and ran out of things to read. Both books were amazing and I now consider Orson Scott Card one of my favorite authors.
I'll start Shadow Puppets in a day or two.

Ghouls, Gimmicks and Gold: Horror Films and the American Movie Business, 1953-1968 by Kevin Heffernan
Interesting read, I'm mainly using it for research purposes, but I enjoy reading this kind of stuff for pleasure anyways.

Scarecrow, I loved Kavalier and Clay. His book Summerland was good too, but geared to a YA reader (not that there's anything wrong with that).
I just finished two fantasy trilogies by Robin Hobb -- Farseer and Liveships -- dragons and pirates and serpents, oh my.
Now reading The Turkish Gambit by Russian writer Boris Akunin. Espionage and mystery during the war between the Russians and the Turks in the 1870's.

I've just started The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
I just finished The Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith and the other day picked up The Full Cupboard of Life (which I'm planning to read next) Both books are from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, which is one of my favorite book series.
