What's the best book you've read lately?

Just looking for suggestions. I'm particularly fond of fantasy/sci-fi novels but other genres are welcome!

By the way, if fantasy and science fiction are you main interest I would highly recomend a subscription to Fantasy & Science Fiction through the Kindle Newstand. It can be hit and miss sometimes, but it seemes like there's always something worth reading.

Lately? I'd have to say ISHMAEL, by Daniel Quinn.

Honestly, I've read some pretty average stuff. I just bought "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" by Stephen King. It looks promising.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. When I was yonger I never thought I'd be reading a historical novel, but Wolf Hall had me rivetted to the sofa.

Reading really wears me out. I think the last novella I read was 1984. The most recent thing was a book about woodworking XD

You're Making Me Hate You by Corey Taylor is by far the greatest book I've read in a while its super true while funny because its written by a famous Hard Rock singer who basically written down everything he hates about dumb stupid people and wastes of humanity that make up most of the earth in this book its smart snarky and funny which makes you laugh but then look back and shake your head going like "oh yeah thats... yeah thats pretty damn sad. where has humanity gone to?" I definetly reccomend.

The best lately would be "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck." It was exactly what I needed at the time I read it.

I haven't read much fiction lately but Death by Black Hole by Neil Degrasse Tyson was pretty good.

My favorite Indie fantasy sci-fi, is Misha Burnette's Catskinner series. I have re-read the series many times, but I keep reading it again, because it's so much better than most other books, especially when I want to be totally obsorbed in the story to distract from travel, having to wait in an office, etc.

It's about an ordinary guy who has an off world energy being bound to him that can make him supernaturally strong and fast, and it loves to kill. He makes a living by doing hit jobs for money, working for a boss who somehow doesn't seem quite "alive." Then he falls in love..but is that beautiful woman really fully human? The protagonist gradually becomes aware that the world isn't as it appears.

Here's a link to the first book of the series:
Catskinner's Book (The Book Of Lost Doors 1) [amazon.com]
