Fictional Reading
I have read quite a lot of books, and tend to lean toward the Sci-Fi end of the spectrum (Star Wars, Battle Tech, Issac Asimove, etc.), but also love many modern political thrillers and pretty much anything by Tom Clancy. But I have also tried a couple fantasy books recently, and Terry Brooks "Shannara" tales are ok, along with the much read "Lord of the Rings" and R.A. Salvatore's tales of the drow (Icewindale and such) are pretty good. But on some recommendations, I picked up "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin. Reviews were very positive about how good his books were and how complex and filled with great human motivations and political intrigue. Well, I'm almost done with it (but there are 3 more books in this "Song of Ice and Fire" line), and I have to say, it is a very good read with very good character and plot development as well as detailed and complex motives and political maneuvering. Worth a read, if you are looking for something new.

Ha! There, something that isn't electronic or computer/gadget related!
