11/22/63 by Stephen King, I'm about 2/3rds through this and really liking it so far. Here's hoping it has a better ending than Under the Dome...

More and more I find that that's King's biggest stumbling block. He has great setups, fantastic middles, but he just can't seem to wrap them up in a satisfying manner. I've taken a break from reading him for just that very reason.

Just finished UNBROKEN by Laura Hillenbrand. Its the story of a WWII bombardier who's plane crashes into the Pacific and survives 40+ days in a raft only to be picked up by the Japanese and spend 2 years in a prison camp. An amazing tale of survival.

30 pages into READY PLAYER ONE. It's taking awhile to set up the world and I'm a little annoyed at the constant 80s references that are coming off more as fanfic than anything else, but it's got a compelling enough premise that I'm willing to stick with it to see where the story goes.

I have friends that read multiple books at a time. Three, four, even five by their nightstand. For the life of me, I could never do that. I've tried it several times with just two books and what inevitably happens is that I end up not finishing the first book I started because I become engrossed in the second. I rarely ever go back to that original book which, to me, is a sign that it's just not my cuppa.

I could never read two novels simultaneously, but I do frequently alternate between a novel and a non-fiction book.
I'm currently reading both Dark Angel, by Sally Beauman, which is one of my favorite novels, as well as Cleopatra by Stacey Schiff. I'm only a few chapters into the later, but Schiff has an energetic writing style that makes the book feel more like a novel than a scholarly biography.
