    I'm reading Dragonlance book named Downfall (author Jean Rabe). It isn't good at all (I don't like 5th age)

    Shandril's Saga vol 2: Crown of Fire. After that I'll re-read some books, go for the Legend of Huma somewhere on the way and then return to LoTR for another read-through.

    1) I'm Just Here For The Food, by Alton Brown
    2) The Dubliners, James Joyce
    3) How To Talk So Your Kids Will Listen, How To Listen So Your Kids Will Talk.
    4) If It's Raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks, by Peter Navarro

    Hmmm... I think I need something light and fluffy! Maybe it's time to re-read "The Pig Plantagenet" and "Castle Crespin," both by Allen Andrews. I'm eagerly awaiting the paperback release of volume 4 of Harry Turtledove's "Darkness" series.

    the chosen by Chaim Potok

    the canterbury tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

    the last two are for course at the university and the first one isn't a book I will finish (you just keep reading and studying it)

    Yeah, I'm not gonna try any of the spells or anything...even if they worked I'm not positive I want a nice conversation with Lilith or Satan. Plus they're a lot of work.

    Actually reading the book accomplishes two things: helps me with my Latin (half the book is a copy of the original manuscript), and satisfies my curiousity on the usage of magic in history. Apparently most necromancers were part of the clergy: that's what you get for having such a large clerical body with many of them doing little (this was the era of younger sons of the nobility becoming priests, the Church was huge).

    EDIT: Nevermind. It turns out I can summon a zombie lord to do my homework and Lilith is great cook and can play raquetball with the best of them. I'd like to recommend demon trafficking to all the kiddies out there. :thumb:
