			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a reader either of the dead tree (book) or electron (kindle) variety?  I am, but until a few months ago I had too much going on to do much reading for pleasure with the exception of magazines&#8230;  Thankfully back in August I finally caught up with enough stuff that I was able to start reading again&#8230;</p>

<p>The biggest problem I have as a reader though is that I&#8217;m a pretty fast reader, during the 8 days I was in Florida I managed to read 3 books each almost 300 pages long.  As a result I tend to always be looking for new books and have signed up over at <a href="http://www.goodreads.com">Goodreads</a> in the hopes of discovering new books.  I love the concept of Goodreads, it&#8217;s like Facebook for readers &#8211; the trouble is it can be absolutely maddening to navigate.  Dispite this I encourage you to sign up, friend me up and share your libraries &#8211; hopefully we&#8217;ll all get some good recommendations.  I&#8217;ve got some pretty notable folks who are friends of mine on Goodreads including Patricia, Mrs. Todd (as in wife of Todd from White Roof Radio) Molly Wood from CNet, Veronica Belmont from Tekzilla, and Vince Patton a former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard.</p>

<p>As for book recommendations so far:</p>

<p>Non-Fiction &#8211; The Pentagon: A History by Steve Vogel.</p>

<p>Sci-Fi &#8211; Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.  This is a trilogy of books</p>

<p>Dauntless by Jack Campbell.  This is the first of a 6 book series.  Book 5 is scheduled to be released in April.</p>

<p>So share some books&#8230;</p>
