I am a book worm, proud of it - I love reading.
Today, I finished reading "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" which is Neil Gaimans new novel.
I loved it, absolutely couldn't put it down - and was so sorry it ended. Far too short
Therefore, I am making this thread to say READ THIS BOOK - and give me more book suggestions. My shelf cannot be full enough hehe

I love books written by Elizabeth Moon, especially the Deed of Paksenarrion saga (several books, still going on).
I highly recommend that series.

Ah, Pakse, yes, remember those books well
If you like those books, you might want to try When Women were Warriors
Last "big" book series for me were the Nantucket series by S. M. Stirling

Let me know how you like them. Paks was the source of some sleepless nights, as I couldn't let the book down.

Depending when you read the last one, you may have missed more than one, actually. Next one is scheduled for May 2014.

On my desk right now, currently reading :
Henri Barbusse, Le Feu (translated in English as Under Fire, I think)
Kim Stanley Robinson, The Years of Rice and Salt
Many, many more scattered through my apartment (I often read a dozen books at a given moment), but those two are just absolutely awesome.
The first is a diary of a squadron during WWI (specifically the year 1915), the second an uchronia : what would the world have been like if the Black Plague killed 99% of european population instead of a third ?
