Finished Gladwell's latest recently. Such an easy read. He makes me look at everyday stuff in a different way.
Also just polished off Canticle for the 4th time. It is my favorite read. One day, some brave soul is going to set out to turn this book into a movie trilogy (and go bankrupt trying to do so).
Next up, I'm probably going to go back through Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. The first time I read it, I finished it in one sitting. Read right through the night. It's gripping. I've mentioned here before that I do a bit of climbing but I've never experienced anything like what happened on Everest that night. As Beck Weathers says, character is revealed by what you do when you think no one is watching.

I’ve only read it twice.
If you like canticle, I bet you’d like Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

I read a mixture of stuff, rarely fiction these days though. Anything by Gladwell or the Freakonomics guys I usually buy right away and finish off over a weekend.
Canticle is one I go back to about once a decade. I first read it as a teenager and I've been hooked ever since. I'm not really sure if it's a great book or not, but I like it because it reminds me of my high school days.

The movie was better than the book, and even the movie was not great.
