Ha, we are in a similar boat, you and I, although my wife has shown me some books (namely Blake Crouch) that I found to be very interesting and easy (not boring) reads. But she reads her stuff and I read fantasy and sci-fi, and that's fine, we read next to each other in bed, so we're "spending time" together or something like that, and she'll tell me about what she's reading.

I don't really have anyone I read new stuff with, and so that's why I'm here, to see if anyone's reading what I'm reading. The answer is ... No!

I liked Crouch's "Dark Matter", but it's also sf. I used to only read fantasy, but have branched into other genres :)

McCarthy is one of my favorite authors because of his Border Trilogy.
