Still reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King. I am a little over 4/7th of the book (almost 400 pages out of 700 pages). The book wasn't what I thought it was. It isn't about the world after all the women fell asleep, it's about when they stated to fall asleep, with some supernatural stuff mixed in, which I think is present in most of King's books.

I am enjoying the book, and going to read more of his work. Maybe not right after this though.

What about you all? What are you guys reading?

I'm about 80% through Pandora's Star by Peter F Hamilton. It's okay. Went in with quite high expectations since it comes up a lot but man, so much of it could be cut. The man likes to incessantly ramble and describe the most mundane and uniportant details. And there's a lot of viewpoints. Which I'm not necessarily adverse to (I've read Wheel of Time) but it does chop and change quite a bit and mostly just as something exciting starts happening, it cuts to a different POV. I'll probably read the second book to finish the story but doubt I'd read another of his.
