So, I always have at least one book going, sometimes I have one fiction and one non-fiction going. Some of my recent favorite fiction reading:
Giles Kristian Raven series (and God of Vengeance)
Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales (though I have gotten into the Grail series, just the first one so far)
Lev Grossman's Magicians trilogy (currently doing a reread in between seasons of the show on SyFy thanks to a book club on Reddit)
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Codex Alera series
JK Rowling's Harry Potter series (currently reading them again, slowly, in German)
Tolkien, anything by him
George RR Martin's ASOIAF series
Ben Aaronvitch's Rivers of London series
You can tell I like historical fiction and fantasy. I read some classics in between, not a lot.
For non-fiction/memoir type of stuff I have been reading Bill Bryson's stuff lately, as well as a local historian's works about the area in which I live. I like reading about history, specifically local history, but also European and specifically middle ages.
I've also been doing some reading of the works of Martin Luther.
