In my teens, 20's and 30's it was pretty much all fiction. Now it's mostly non-fiction. Mostly books I gedt for $10 a box at the library book sale clearance. Currently reading Home and Away by Scott Simon.

Have you read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and/or The Lost City of Z?  Both good.

It's always been non-fiction for me, but I've been told that I have to turn it off on my next vacation.  So I'm thinking of reading:

The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. By Adelle Waldman

I meant for the A Song of Ice and Fire books, but thanks.

Sorry.  That was probably my favorite post of all time on this board, which I think was before your time (though perhaps you were a lurker).

Back in 05 or 06, we had a high school kid named flawd101 on the board who was nothing short of naive and AWESOME.  In the original, now defunct "What are you reading thread?" the Harry Potter book had just come out and flawd posted:

A lot of people hadn't finished it yet.  And I thought it was awesome.

If it helps, Dumbledore makes him do it.

That was probably in 2007, the year i registered on here (and the year the last book was published).  That same year at Virgin Fest people were texting messages like that to be displayed on the screens between acts.  But most were bogus (ie Harry dies) and i just laughed since I had already read it.  But a lot of people in the crowd seemed less than amused.

I was going to say...this thread went nowhere fast. Two pages in and the major discussion is about mainstream teenage fiction.

Speaking of Porn.. I'm actually reading Porno right now.  Irvine Welsh's sequel to Trainspotting, which I've had for years and am finally just getting to.
