I'm about halfway through THE FUTURE OF FREEDOM by Fareed Zakaria. Very interesting reading so far. Makes me wish I read it back when it was first published in hardcover over a decade ago... I read his third book, THE POST-AMERICAN WORLD, back in 2009 but he seems to have stopped writing completely in favor of hosting political discussions on CNN instead.

John Byrne's Man of Steel mini series in paperback.  

It turned me into a regular Superman fan....back in  the 80's.

Up until then I very infrequently purchased Superman .

Just started revisiting Ian Fleming's Bond novels. It's been a few years since I've read any of them. Blew through CASINO ROYALE in three sessions.

Reading New Mutants 1 through 31(?). Nearly halfway through. Also reading "Warriors at the Helm" a book about leadership. (update: stopped right before Bill Sienkiewicz started as artist (thought it was a good braking point))

Read Robert Silverberg, Other Spaces, Other Times:  A Life Spent in the Future, not exactly a biography, more like a biography assembled from biographical essays and story introductions.  Great illustrations showing many of the book and magazine covers for Silverberg stories.

Most of the way through Mark Leibovich, This Town, described on the jacket as "a blistering, stunning--and often hysterically funny--examination of our ruling class's incestuous 'media industrial complex.'"  The book is uneven, but the opening section of Tim Russert's funeral and the hypocrisy and self interest of many of its attendees is worth the price of admission.  I interrupted my reading of this to read:

Ben Yagoda, The B-Side:  The Death of Tin Pan Alley and the Rebirth of the Great American Song, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

I've gone back to read Zelazny's Lord of Light for a third time. To even read a books twice is extremely rare for me, but I had a hankering that wouldn't go away.

That's interesting. I've had it on my to-read list for years & finally opened it up last fall. I couldn't even make it halfway... I really feel like I'm missing out.
