Well, I am always reading a few things at a time. I have a pile here next to me for when I finish the XMarks posts. On top is the current issue of This Old House. My wife and I both love to renovate old houses (although none of ours are ever as old as the ones the TOH crew tackles) and enjoy the magazine. Then I have some classic SF and some vintage and classic SF. The classic SF is Robert Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars. Why? becuase it is a good story and I am currently reading the original UK paperback which has a cover that would be considered racy (and certainly reveals race! which is integral to the story, but not correct according to the book) today. The VINTAGE SF is a copy of Tom Corbett and the Robot Rocket, by Cary Rockwell with technical assistance by William Ley. Very vintage SF from the 50's. I enjoyed them when I was growing up (my Dad passed them on to me) and they are still well written stories today, if you ignore some of the science that has become outdated.
And Bubba, I am a big fan of McCaffry's. Not the Dragonrider books, never got into those, but her Pegasus series, including the Rowan series, is awesome.
I suppose I should read something more substantial and educational, but by the time the work day is over, the kids are in bed and I have finished up everything else, I just want some mindless entertainment.
