Having just got back into reading, I've managed to work my way through a few books in the past month or two. First was Vol.1 of Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler, which was pretty good, although too detailed, which caused some parts to be a little boring. Oh, and before that there was another book about the Berlin bunker.
After that I moved on to the first two books of the Star Wars: New Jedi Order series, namely Vector Prime and Dark Tide: Onslaught. Both were very enjoyable, the first more so, and even though I don't really read EU material, I had no problem keeping up with the story and any characters that have been introduced since Return of the Jedi.
Next was The Rough Guide to Bob Dylan. It's a pocket-sized book, with the first half being a biography and the second focusing on Dylan's work in music and films, as well as the best bootlegs etc. It was a great read, as I found out everything I needed to know without getting bogged down in detail.
And right now I'm reading Shout!, which is a biography of The Beatles. I'm about 100 pages in, and it's been interesting thus far, as I'm finding out about their formative years, something I knew nothing about.
Due to a mass order from Play.com, I have another four books to read after Shout!:
1. Smile: Brian Wilson's lost masterpiece (Self-explanatory really)
2. Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond (Biography of the man himself)
3. Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd (The Nick Mason Autobiography)
4. Hammer of the Gods (Led Zeppelin biography)
After these I'll hopefully get ahold of the next few New Jedi Order books, before finally reading Vol 2 of the Hitler biography, and I have Ricky Tomlinson's biography sitting around somewhere, which I may or may not take a look at.
