Default Re: OT: Read a book!

I recently read the Night's Dawn Trilogy, by Peter F. Hamilton. Wonderful, wonderful books (though the subject matter is somewhat adult in nature at times). The books in the series are, in order:

The Reality Dysfunction
The Neutronium Alchemist
The Naked God

Each book is 1000+ pages in paperback format, and each book is progressively longer than the one before it (which is good, IMO).

Also, there is a book of short stories taking place prior to the events in Night's Dawn, collected in a book called "A Second Chance at Eden". Plus, there's a handy little reference guide to the universe he set it all in, called "The Confederation Handbook". All of the books are available in eBook format, too. So those of you with PDAs can read it anywhere.

I personally like the eBook style now a lot. Having an entire library on a CD-ROM frees up my shelf space for other things.
