      Gotta give it to Glen Cook - The dragon never sleeps. He's better known for the Black Company series.

      My 11 year old son did not want me to get him a story book. Instead he wanted a programming book, so we bought "Hello Python" by Anthony Briggs from a bookstore. The Amazon reviews for it ended up not so good, so we'll see how it goes: http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Python-Anthony-S-Briggs/dp/19351...

      Anyway, I've recently read (my Kindle list):

          * Curious Myths of the Middles Ages by S. Baring-Gould
          * American Gods by Neil Gaiman
          * Instrumentalities of the Night series by Glen Cook
          * The Dragon Never Sleeps by Glen Cook
          * Many HP Lovecraft stories which I hadn't already read (I bought HP Lovecraft Complete Fiction)
          * Grimm's Fairy Tales
          * Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome by Apicius
          * Takeshi Kovacs series by Richard K. Morgan
          * A Fire in the Sun (Budayeen series) by George Alec Effinger
          * Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey
          * Hunted (Iron Druid Chronicles) by Kevin Hearne
          * Catspaw by Joan D. Vinge
      
      Also I've been watching videos more than reading recently:

          * Peaky Blinders
          * Top Gear
          * Skins
          * Grimm (where everyone in Portland lives in restored craftsman style homes and uses devices from Apple)
          * The Grand Budapest Hotel
          * Constantine
          * Moby Dick (Patrick Stewart version)
