Book Recc post.
Alright, so let me lay this out:
I will read just about anything. I like a lot of different things. I tend to read more fantasy than anything else, but will read just about any fiction. I've gotten into a lot of YA lately and seem to be churning my way through that. Nonfiction I'm very particular on and will read what I want there.
What I want is a list of books/series that you my dear readers think that I should look into. Give me a To Be Read pile. I don't really have one.
Currently I have the following out from the library:
The Warrior Heir Cinda Williams*
The Wizard Heir Cinda Wiliams
Graceling Kristin Cashore
Beyond the Valley of Thorns Patrick Carman
Wolverine: Weapon X Marc Cerasini
The Dark Griffin K.J. Taylor
I am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas Adam Roberts
Shadowfall James Clemens
The Priest of Blood Douglas Clegg
So, that's what I have out right now.
I have read Mercedes Lackey - pretty much everything, really and don't really care for Anne McCaffrey. But, give me books. Again, I'll read just about anything and have plans to be buying the books of a few people I know that are now published. (Katey, looking at you, dude!)
*Just finished this one like... ten minutes ago. It's a good, solid, book and I think a lot of people would enjoy it. There's a wizard society that lives amongst us and they hold tournaments using those born with 'warrior stones' to fight their battles. I found it interesting and will be getting the third book The Dragon Heir when I can.

You know what I really liked the first of and have been meaning to finish up (since I bought them all second hand at one point): Dorothy Dunnett's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymond_Chronicles><i>Lymond Chronicles</i></a>. Scotland in the time of Mary Queen of Scots, and the characters, no lie, are totally DELIGHTFUL. Strikes me as pretty Cat. (PS: That's very kind of you, but I totally don't mind if my friends don't read my crap, because I know I write some weird, cracked out shit. That said, you can win them at various blogs if you want -- literally all of them are up for grabs here or there :D)
