I like science fiction, alternate history, fantasy, some horror/thriller type books.
Recently read authors on my shelf:

Jim Butcher
Orson Scott Card
Stephen King
Neil Gaiman
Joe Haldeman
James Hogan
Harry Turtledove
Dan Simmons
Greg Bear
John Varley
Charles Stross
John Ringo
David Weber

I'm gonna jump in the shower because I've a show tonight and I want to hit the bookstore before work.
