I assume most if not everyone here reads. Share what you're digging through.
For me, it's the Chroncles of Narnia. It's great writing and appropriate for all ages. I'm not even a big fantasy guy, but I do like Lewis. I read the Screwtape Letters by him a few years ago. That one had great insights into humanity, and you can appreciate it even if you aren't religious. Even just looking through the lens of a religious person is interesting to me.
Chronicles of Narnia are more for entertainment, and it's fun to pick out the religious allegory. Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe was quite overt, yeah yeah, Lion dies for humanity, but the other books don't spell it out as much. Prince Caspian was just OK, but I loved Dawn Treader and Silverchair. I'm working through The Horse and his Boy now, and it's excellent as always.
I wish I had more time to read. I only do it on my lunch breaks now. After Narnia, I want to read Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous by Gabriella Coleman.
Weltall, if you post here, you also have to share what you're writing. ;) Okay, you're working on Thoughtful Maro World now, but if you're too busy to write now, what were you writing before? I gotta read one of your novels. What do you recommend? Which one are you most proud of?
