@Dark eagle, I've been using windows ten myself since January of seventeen and haven't regretted either.
For books you can see my book reviews here
When you say "books about magic" that sort of covers a multitude of sins, for example as I said above Seanon McGuire's books tend to be really good (albeit the last one my lady and I read was very disappointing), but they are basically about the fae living in the modern world, so while they contain magic, there are no actual wizards, ---- though, there is a Sea witch who is truly awesome .
There are then Jim Butcher's harry dresden series which are sort of a mix of noire detective and magic fantasy, with a main character who is both a gritty Private I in chicago, and also a professional wizard. Those are fun, with lots of action and big explosions and such, though have their issues, they're the sort of thing i tend to read for reasons of fluff.
Dianna Wynn Jones writes a lot of really fun stuff about wizards and magic, her stuff is these days considered Ya, but is the sort of thing that an adult can read, heck I have read more of hers as an adult than I ever did as a child, and got Mrs. Dark into them too .
Her stuff is more fun and less explosive, though with really good characterisation and a lot of humour. I'm actually a little sorry that she was writing pre harry potter, since while she produced a couple of adult books, she said she was more comfortable writing fantasy and so mostly did stuff aimed at older kids or young adults, since she didn't see how that sort of urban fantasy would work for adults, despite the fact lots of adults have since read her work.
Of course, there is lots of epic high fantasy with characters who are mages or wizards, from Terry Pratchett's disk world, to Ursula Leguin's Earthsea, though I'm nott as sure if that's what you mean.
The last book i read (which I've just done a review for), was Roses and Rot by Kat Howard, which doesn't so much feature magic as in wizards and spells, but does! feature a lot about faerie and bargains with the fae, and was extremely! awesome, indeed it got a 9.5 from me in my review, which for me is pretty good going as I tend to be relatively stingy with high marks (for why see my other reviews).
I'm now reading The Host by Stephanie Mire, yes, the one who wrote twilight. This is a really interesting semi post apocalyptic scifi novel, about earth being invaded by aliens who are surgically implanted into human bodies. I'll admit I probably wouldn't have considerred reading anything by Mire if it weren't for a recommendation from Mrs. Dark, but actually this is proving rather good, true its got a few romancy bits around the edges, but the premise and principle character are really interesting (probably a lot more interesting than Bella Swan I imagine ).
Other than that, it's been so bloody hot hear we've not really wanted to do much, indeed yesterday, a lady from guide dogs who helps me give Reever a free run turned up earlier in the morning since there's been a heat warning about dogs and the mid day sun, indeed its been so sticky right now I'm sort of immitating the dress style of Sagat from streetfighter, ---- that is a pair of blue shorts and not much else .
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
