    Just finished The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis - very funky, though the more blatent of the Christian references were jarring.

    Will probably now start of Cryptonomicum by Neal Stephenson.

    Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom. It's quite a good read, written in the same style as his Warlord Chronicles, but set during the Viking invasion of England.

    Just started in on Conn Iggulden's Emperor: The Gates of Rome, and my instinct is to just chuck the book and go back to Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series. I'm sure Mr. Iggulden's series would be plenty good taken by itself, but I got spoiled by Ms. McCullough's intense, six-volume romp, so now almost every novel about Rome I've read since just seems tissue-thin.

    Also, just finished 11 volumes of Yureka, a manga by Hee-Joon Son and Youn-Kyung Kim. (That's the French translation title; in English, this will be published as ID_entity.) It's excellent, involving people playing in an MMORPG. By turns exciting, innovative, suspenseful, and just plain funny, I can't recommend it highly enough!

    Just about finished "A Cavern of Black Ice" (Book One of the Sword of Shadows) by J. V. Jones. It has been OK and I'll carry on to read the rest of the series but it's not in the same class as Hobb and Erikson.

    Didn't see it when I did a search, so I will mention Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles. No magic or mythical creatures, but a good human story about the Arthur legend. It starts with Arthur and Merlyn's great grandfathers who are officers in the Roman legions. I have found myself very attached to the characters, feeling sad as they pass from the story. My wife is enjoying the series as well, so it isn't just a guy series.

    Pick up or check out the first book, The Skystone, next time you are looking for something new.
