It's not a hard and fast rule, but I read mostly non-fiction.

Most of my fantasy reading is Terry Pratchett.

Theme parks. World's Fairs. Miniature buildings. Stereoscopy. Science and science history. How-to and maker books, and the occasional "For Dummies" book if I want to learn a specific skill.

I seem to be reading a lot of cat books lately. I once went to a Japanese restaurant where the owner had a TV in the corner, and I noticed that there were often cat videos showing. I asked him if I was seeing this just by chance and if he watched other things, and he said, "Sometimes other thing; mostly cat."

Sam Denham, Graham Bleathman: International Rescue Thunderbirds (Hardcover, 2012, Haynes Publishing) 5 stars

Brilliant Cutaway Drawings

5 stars

A fun expansion of the Thunderbirds science-fiction universe, with amusing technobabble text by Sam Denham and dynamic cutaway drawings by Graham Bleathman. The illustrations are leaps and bounds more exciting than the flat, blueprint-like drawings in Franz Joseph's similar "Star Fleet Technical Manual." What I would have given for this book when I was a Thunderbirds-obsessed kid in the 1960s!
