Voted "Most Likely To Be Found With His Nose In A Book" in grade school. Now, it would be "Most Likely To Be Found With His Nose In An E-Book Reader".
Fiction: Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Speculative. Love long series, as long as they keep moving. Non-Fiction: History/Philosophy/Tech.
I started with the old school SFF authors -- Asimov, Clarke, Tolkein, Moorcock, etc. -- then found (and was blown away by) Stephen Donaldson in high school. As I got older, I started reading Hugo award winning authors, and discovered great names like Robert Sawyer, Paolo Bacigalupi, Anne Leckie, N. K. Jemisin (!), Charlie-Jane Anders, and Tamsyn Muir.
I can't wait to see who I discover next.
Calibre FTW.

Jon Fincher finished reading Isolate by L. E. Modesitt Jr. (The Grand Illusion, #1)
I'll be honest -- I bought this for the cover art. Something about Avraal's face and pose on the cover got me. I've never read L.E. Modesitt before this.
But then I started reading it. Wow, Modesitt takes a while to build a story -- this book could have been a lot shorter, but I'm really interested what quince paste on a croissant taste's like now.

Scalzi is a quick read, entertaining, and he has an interesting setup for a series. As I was reading, I was thinking, "How could this turn into a TV series?"

Good conclusion to the story -- it definitely ended differently than expected, and there is enough there for a fourth book, or even another series taking place at a different time.
