I'm watching for the first time right now and this show is great.  I can't believe it was cancelled.  They are running it on The Science Channel, 10pm on Sunday nights.

If the book is boring, I get sleepy, if it's good I sometimes have a hard time putting it down at bed time.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I guess I like everything, just good solid books.  I tend to lean toward SF and Fantasy because that's where the magic and science are really appealing.  I read Matterhorn because I was lurking ASOIAF message board and a lot of people had that up on their best reads of 2010 thread.  Also lots of people mentioned Boneshaker.  I read the wrong Boneshaker tho, haha, I read the YA book, not the Hugo nominated book.  I'm gonna check that one out soon.

I went to the library and picked up Gaiman's The Graveyard Book yesterday and New Spring and Knife of Dreams.

About historical fiction, I have read a couple Mitchener books and really liked them a lot.  Space is great, not your typical Mitchener.  The Source, Alaska, Hawaii...

Here's what I've read lately and how I felt about them:

Boneshaker - good, fun easy read
Matterhorn - okay read, real war, real heroes, real military bs
Dresden files - okay, nice wizard noir
City and the City - I don't get why it's so well received
Kraken - ugh, struggled thru
Windup Girl - meh, was happy when I was done
WOT books - just reading to get thru to the end
Way of Kings - great, want more

I like fantasy and sf the best. 
I want to give China M another shot
ASOIAF ruined me, I want everything to be that good now.

I'm about to finish Crossroads of Twilight and before moving on to the next WOT book, I like to read a quick, fun read in between.  A year ago, this detour took me thru ASOIAF, holy cow!  What a detour!  Loved it.

Matterhorn was a detour, didn't like it that much.

I read a Dresden File between the last two.  It was cool.  But I'm looking for something different.

Please suggest.
