Currently, I'm out of printed reading stuff.
Recently reading list (all translated stuff, so titles might differ from original):

- "A Brief History Of Time", Stephen Hawking
Interesting pack full of ideas how the universe might work.
- "Tales", Edgar A. Poe
Still scary stuff but suffers a bit from antiquated language.
- "Shadowrun - Never deal with a dragon", FASA
For reading at odd times. Not really good stuff but amusing.
- "Shadowrun - Choose your Enemies carefully", FASA
Same as for the previous title.
- "Darkwerks", Brom
Art book by a really scary artist >:-)
- "All Flesh Must Be Eaten", Eden
Zombie Horror Survival Roleplaying Game rule book, nuff said. %-P

Plundering blogs, forums and stuff for interesting reading now...

Read Frank Herbert's Dune and its five sequels thats all you need

However I prefer non-fiction so I'm reading about the American civil war.
