Reading "The First Men in the Moon" by H.G. Wells.
I don't know about any of you guys, but I find myself drawn more to "old" sci-fi, I think I find newer sci-fi too political for some reason. The old stuff, by Verne and Wells has more plot and just more of that sense of wonderment that accompanies all great sci-fi. I found that in Avatar when I saw it the first time, even in the trailers.

Master And Commander by Patrick O'Brian.
Loving it!
@HufweMakto I thought Avatar had a very nice balance of political statements and wonder. I agree, lots of sci-fi now gets so politically involved that it forgets to tell a decent story or be creative.

"Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
"If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic."
"The power of a thing or an act is in the meaning and the understanding."
"Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness."
Clash of Kings by George RR Martin. Got hooked after watching the HBO series. Might finish by the end of winter! ;-)

I'm reading a new book by one of my favorite authors: "Free Will" by Sam Harris. It's about how skeptic people use and understand the term "free will" in contrast with how religious people do. Really good!, I'm around the half now, and started it yesterday!
