Fine, I've ordered it.. it better be a page turner

Lol. It is pretty interesting. Larry is a nut.

I keep "The Virus Hunter" on my phone for emergency reading needs. I will be buying a couple of Richard Preston's books this weekend but I need to rediscover a few good books about viruses I got for Christmas.
Other than that lately I've just read some dog training books and my subscription to Musclecar Review. Professionally I'm reading CWTS Official Study Guide. -
@scottalanmiller PowerShell in Depth: An administrator's guide, and Windows Server 2012 Inside Out.
-
Finished reading An Endless Ring of Light yesterday and started reading Troubling a Star which so far is not too bad.
-
Finished Dragons in the Water last night. Now starting A House Like a Lotus. I am nearly done with the entire Madeleine L'Engle triple cycle.
-
Finished Troubling a Star and am now rereading Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. Another one from long ago.
-
Finished reading Up a Road Slowly yesterday and started reading War and Peace. This is going to be exhausting
-
On Friday I finished reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight and started reading Dragons of Winter Night. Some of my middle school era classics that I've missed.
-
Finished reading The Horse and His Boy to my girls tonight.

Tons of these titles are available on Audible now. I own about ten of them in print but have no time for that these days. But via Audible they work out really well for me. So I bought the first four and plan on probably reading twenty or so of them as time allows.

Weis and Hickman are actually the authors that first got me really interested in Fantasy as a genre. I grew up with C.S. Lewis and tried a few things prior to Autumn Twilight but they were different and did not make me interested in furthering my investigation of fantasy literature in the way that the Dragonlance Chronicles did.

I cannot get into audio books. I cannot suspend my disbelief well enough to get lost in the stories as I can when reading.

I've read them three times.
If you ever get a chance, a few other series that were good. If you can find them, try Thieves World. It was a written by many different authors and is very good. For new stuff, My newest favorite author is Patrick Rothfuss. Check out "The Name of the Wind." Just excellent.
Current reading the last of the Traitor Spy Trilogy by Trudi Canavan.

Over the years, I have read them way more than three times. The Dragonlance setting was my favorite to game in.

@JaredBusch I like Dragonlance for storytelling I prefer the Forgotten realms for gaming.
