    Just finished The Cold Commands by Richard Morgan and moving on immediately to the final book in the trilogy, The Dark Defiles.

    Awesome story so far and I can't wait to find out what happens next in this world.

    I've recently read Storm Front by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files #1 ) which is a good time no no alcohol required. I also continued my masochist run by reading The Fate of Ten. Goodness knows why I'm still torturing myself this much. And finally another Brandon Sanderson delight, Shadows of Self

    As per [MENTION=2530]Wyvern[/MENTION]'s suggestion, I've read Ready Player One. Freakin' goodness!!! Mind = Blown.

    I flew through it because it's such a trip. Great plot. Unbelievably rich setting. Ultimately it's a love letter to geeks with all the geek-centric pop culture references. Might not be the best prose but I had an absolute blast reading this book.

    P.S. this should be required reading for mygamers

    I might be going against the grain by mentioning Non-Fiction;but I have just completed reading 'Because We Say So' - by Noam Chomsky. Which is a series of short essays written by Chomsky about the nature of the USA's foreign policy. An interesting read for anyone who wants a somewhat systematic review of the way that the US conducts itself as the primary,(and ergo supreme), superpower on earth.

    Now I'm tackling the somewhat perturbing 'How Long Will South Africa Last ' by RW Johnson. It's a reflection on how we came to be where we are as a nation and if the current path we tread will destroy us. Especially in light of recent events it is somewhat troubling to say the least but the way that Johnson is able to weave his narrative into a picture that is as sobering as is it enlightening makes this definitely worth reading. If nothing else it is a masterclass in political clarity that we have oft been lacking.

    Another book which treads upon similar butterflies as that of Johnson's is Justice Malala's 'We Have Now Begun Our Descent'. Similar in purview, but what Justice lacks in the ability to enflame your consciousness he makes up for in reliability. His narrative of the land, although not as minute in detail, feels more real so that is also worth a read. Generally I would recommend reading his pieces in the Financial Mail to get a sense of the way he intertwines political reason with social emotion before delving into his book. But nevertheless it is a recommended item
