Writer's Block: What is the last great book you read?

Great?  In what way do we define "great"? 

Is it "the last 'classic' novel we've read?  That would be Jane Austen's "Persuasion"

The last 'best seller'?  That's probably G.R.R.Martin's "A Dance with Dragons"

The last 'you've heard of it 'buzzworthy' book"?   I don't know "The Help" or "The Hunger Games"

The last 'I really enjoyed it"/"fun" book I've read?  "Ready, Player One" by Ernest Cline

That most helpful 'self-help'(?) book that I've recently read?  "30 Days to a Well Mannered Dog" by Tamar Geller

The MOST RECENT  book that I've read? "The History of Ancient Israel" by Eric Cline (who I assume is no relation to Ernest).

I don't know, for books 'great' depends very much on mood, genre, and what role they fill.  I'm not sure what actually constitutes "great"... I mean outside of things like "1984" or "To Kill a Mockingbird."

...amd Spock too

A geek dream finally fulfilled!

Sheldon (Jim Parsons) will finally meet his hero, Stephen Hawking, in an upcoming episode of The Big Bang Theory. The CBS show is keeping details of Hawking’s appearance under wraps but EW did find out that the author of A Brief History of Time will appear in a scene with Parsons on April 4.

Hawking’s cameo will air the week after Leonard Nimoy finally shows up on the comedy. Nimoy, in fact, Tweeted @TheRealNimoy earlier today: “Spock on Big Bang Theory on 3/29. Stephen Hawking the following week. Logical.”
