SUITE 605 it's a book edited by SmartBook about a room in the off-shore island of Madeira (PT) where thousands of companies have the official address for (no) tax purposes only. Just to mention some of the most recognisable:
PepsiCo
Dell
Swatch
American British Tobacco

Independently of working or not in the tax field, I would recommend everyone a look at a book that rises big questions about the worldwide off-shores.

Finished A Clash of Kings from the A Song of Ice and Fire series.  Taking a bit of a break before I start the 3rd book in the series A Storm of Swords

Best one in the series by far.

But if you read it on an electronic device you'd like not to destroy, keep something throwable with you at all time.

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett... moving in with my gf has meant being able to fill all of the gaps in my Discworld collection, and this is the one in the series I have never read before.

I'm reading Shogun by James Clavell.

It's excellent.

Star Wars  :2345
That's so weird; I was looking into reading a Star Wars book just today (directly after Return of the Jedi. The name escapes me.) since I'm finishing up the book I'm reading now. I went to a full list of Star Wars books, not including the comics, and there are so many! Hundreds, probably. I saw that Han Solo has his own trilogy though. I may look into that sometime soon.

Han Solo is my favorite! I've seen the Solo trilogy haven't read it - should be an entertaining read?

Are you thinking of The Truce at Bakura?

You're right there are tons of Star Wars books! My goal is to collect them all lol. Currently I'm reading the Thrawn trilogy.

Truce at Bakura! That's the one! I'll need to read a few reviews before deciding though. I can be picky when it comes to books.

I'm also thinking about reading The Rum Diary. I've read a few books by Hunter S. Thompson and I like his style. He has a way of being both thorough and passive at the same time. Going into detail but still making sure you know that he sees little importance in it. It's a strange humor. I'd like to read it before I see the movie that just came out. I read the first chapter or so to test the waters and it seems interesting.

I've just started reading "The Book of Dave" by Will Self on a recommendation of a friend. Little hard to read at the start as it uses a made up language based on cockney slang which takes a bit of getting used to.
