I will start this thread, because I am a bit curious as to what people like to read, and maybe get some inspiration along the way.

I am on Leviathan Falls, by James S. A. Corey, the last volume from The Expanse saga (yes, THAT The Expanse, which you should also watch). The whole story is beyond amazing, and so is the show. Highly recommended for SF lovers out there.

Listening to audio books when driving/commuting ..
Currently listening Don Winslow, I liked the Cartel trilogy, so just started Broken which isn't falling into my tastes so well, so far reads more like a power/violence fantasy...let's see if gets more interesting.

Started yesterday with the Science Fiction Short Stories from our very own @Sircaw .

I'm no expert and am not done with it yet, but I'm very impressed about the variety of writing styles and type of stories I've read until now.

That's an amazing one, mate, I can attest to it.

I've been reading Halo: Envoy over the past few weeks. And as I check my Google Doc that I use to keep track of which books in the Halo series I own/have read/haven't read/don't own, I see that it's the last one I own that I haven't read. There are four others currently out that I don't own, and two still to release this year. I've read 22 others. Almost have the complete set! Hopefully by the end of this year I will.

After Envoy, however, I'll probably start Doctor Who: Scratchman. Don't have that big of a reading backlog, as it turns out. Which is a problem, because I like reading a chapter or two of a book if I can't fall asleep right away at night.
