On Writing	I've read this one in print a couple times and listening to it read by Stephen King is going to be wonderful I know.
	March to the Sea	This is the second book in the Empire of Man series. To me this is candy reading. It's not very deep, it's fast paced, and it's filled with cliche characters
	March to the Stars	This is book 3 of the Empire of Man series. See the above description.
	We Few	This is book 4, the final book, of the Empire of Man series. See the above description.
	2001: A Space Odyssey	I decided to revisit this classic after Dr. Clarke's passing several weeks ago. It just seemed right to do, and there are few stronger stories in the genre
	Saturday	Past, Present and Future all become jumbled as he tries to sort through the meaning and symbolism that one day brings.
	Lost Discoveries : The Ancient Roots of Modern Science--from the Babylonians to the Maya	This just looks cool to me. It's about all the discoveries that other cultures weren't credited with
	Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction	This 1986 book is an expansive look at the history of the genre from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein on.
	Accelerando (Singularity)	This one is supposed to be a multi-generational story that takes into account nanotechnology, star travel and age-defying bio-science.
	Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life	This is Martin's autobiography, but more as he puts it - it's the story of exactly how he gained his success and what kind of work and dedication went into it.
	Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission	The Bataan Death March was one of the most horrific atrocities committed - and it was against our captured soldiers.
	Roughing It (The Penguin American Library)	From stagecoach travel to prospecting, this is the supposed tale of Twain's many misadventures.
	Collected Stories (Everyman's Library)	the stuffed shirt crowd sings his praises and I want to be as condescendingly smug as the next over-educated fool, so I'm giving his stories a try.
	The Birchbark House	I have never been let down by Louise Erdrich before - she's one of my favorite writers. This is her answer to the Little House on the Prairie books.
	Benjamin Franklin: An American Life	Isaacson has impressed me before with his excellent biography of Albert Einstein so I'm going with him again on this book.
	The Terror: A Novel	I recently read a collection of novellas by Dan Simmons called World's Enough and Time. I loved that book and now I'm going to read his newest book
