I noticed everyone here seems to have lost interest in video games latley.
You could do what I do and procrastinate everything or do things slowly to the point where it takes months to read a book or video game then you don't get them all done too fast.
(you probably shouldn't do that)
I'm currently reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's pretty epic. It can get a little slow in areas but then speeds up again, and it's strange.
If you like comedy I recommend stuff by David Sedaris--very funny. I'm reading 'When you are Engulfed in Flames' and I'd like to get 'Chipmunk seeks Squirrel'
Some other I've seen recommended on other forums:
How Not to Make the Same Mistake Once by Barry Farber
Uh-Oh and It Was on Fire When I Lay Down On It by Robert Fulghum
If your into strange and crazy there's chuck Palanuik. He's the author of Fight Club (of which the movie was based on). His stuff is pretty different but can be gross.
I've also recently read the 'Myst' books. Written by the same people that made the video game. I wasn't expecting much but the first one so far turned out to be very good. There's three in total.
If you like sci-fi or fantasy; anything by Stephen King. (If you don't like fantasy there's 'Different Season' his one of few non-fantasy books that contains 'The shawshank Redemption'. Excellent book.
Also Michael Chrichton. Two of my favorite books of all time; 'Andromeda Strain' and 'Sphere'.
There's a ton but I'll just make a short list of great one's I've read.
1984 - George Orwell
2001 A Space Oddysy - Arthur C. Clark
White Fang - Jack London
Hatchet, The Transal Saga by Gary Paulsen
Physics of the Impossible - Michio Kaku
