    I am above these things called books at this point. I keep being told to read them, yet I will resist until I have desire to read.

    The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett. At this point I really shouldn't be surprised by some of the twists in the books, but they still manage to catch me off guard.

    Planet Hulk - an Incredible Hulk graphic novel. My flatmate had it kicking about and it's pretty good but I don't think I'd buy it myself.

    The Historian by Kostova...
    It'll either be great or really bad. Just started, didn't know anything about it, and am a bit suprised with the theme :)

    Yeah. It's fun and all, but $35 USD for the soft cover is ridiculous.

    Reading Mistborn by Brendan Sanderson. Re-read my WoT books during the summer and dammit, yes there is quite a severe dip in the action in third fourth of the seris but the last book was damn good and even the low action snails pace WoT books are well worth reading and rereading. So since Sanderson is going to finish it all and my fanboy status was resurrected to some extent I thought I would check him out and I must say, so far so good. He has some really interesting ideas and his writing seems quite ok. WoT might get a worthy ending afterall.

    Finally reading Watchmen. It's really living up to the hype so far, I'm very happy to say.

    Finished reading the insanely good Watchmen and currently going for a re-read of Fevre Dream by George R R Martin (A Martin itch needs scratching! I was going to read through ASoIAF but I've lent out the books and won't be able to get them back for quite a while :( )

    Three Cups of Tea- Greg Mortenson... actually I merely plan on starting, rather than am reading at the moment.

    Han Solo Adventures trilogy (Han Solo at Star's End, Han Solo's Revenge, Han Solo and the Lost Legacy) by Brian Daley. I'm a few chapters in. It's rather exciting.

    Old Tin Sorrows - Glen Cook

    Fantasy noir is still awesome. At least when Cook's writing it.
