I now read almost exclusively on my laptop (Kindle for Windows). It has more to do with the way my eyes focus on a printed page and less to do with any kind of preference beyond convenience.

I've read at least 9 business / sales / Web Design books...I try to read a minimum of one per month.

I have also been working my way through Craig Johnson's "Walt Longmire Mysteries." I went nuts over the TV series...a big part of that was the atmosphere (a "Wyoming" series filmed primarily in New Mexico). But on top of that, I felt that the characters were so well developed and the cast really worked well together. It made me want to delve into the source.

Plus Kerouac's "On The Road." Fourth or fifth time for that. The "For me, the only ones are the mad ones" passage was a life-changer and game-changer when I discovered it in college.

Raymond Chandler's "Red Wind" (which is more of a "novella" and less of a "novel," but it's a favorite, third or fourth reading of this one).

So let's say nine fiction and nine non-fiction.
