    The Willow Files. Picked it up for fifty cents at the library the other day. Not too great; just rehashing the episodes. :bad:

    I finished The Spirit Ring today, it was not Bujold's best work but it was still quite good.

    I have started on Black Griffon by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon. I have been putting off reading this series because I had a feeling that I wouldn't like it, and so far it is living down to my expectations. Lackey is much better at smaller scale stories, when she wanders into larger epic fantasy stories they just don't seem to work.

    Dreams of Stardust - Lynn Kurland. ALthough it is extremely uncharacteristic of me to read a romance (blah) my mother told me this one was actually pretty good and it has time travel and ghosts in it. Being as my mother usually doesn't read romance either I took her word for it and I'm actually enjoying the novel.

    just finished Tyrant by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. I liked it more than Spartan, his other book. It was actually very good. You see the transition from nice guy to ******* and all the reasons for it, kinda like a well-done version of what happened to Cyric in the FR Avatar Trilogy. Going to do some light reading and go through a cheap copy of Silver Shadows by Elaine Cunningham that I picked up.

    @Chandos

    could you let me know how it turns out? maybe a review? :D I've been thinking aobut getting it and your vote will swing it to either yea or nay :)

    Enagonios - Will do, and if it is better than average, I will post a review. So far I really like it, but I just got started on it and it is quite long.

    I finished Black Griffon during my lunch break - I was actually very pleasantly surprised as it was actually quite good. There was just enough of the epic story to serve as a background while most of the story focused on the main characters' lives. :thumb:

    I am moving on to The White Gryphon (book 2). Given that Black Gryphon covered the events that I had though would take up the entire series I am really not sure where the plot is going to go in books two and three. I guess I will just have to read them and find out.

    Book #11 of the Wheel of Time: Dagger of Dreams. Has been more interesting than the last two books too, during the two chapters I have managed to read.

    I'm up to "The Horse and his Boy" in the Narnia series (I think thats its title). I'm rather enjoying it, granted its written for a much younger audience, but I still enjoy it. Its the sort of book I'd read to my kid if I had one...damn I think I just decided I want a kid, just so I can read to them, thats scary...

    :yot: Kids are also good to have around for an excuse to buy lots of leggo.


    The book I am currently reading is "The Witches of Eastwick" by John Updike. This is the edition that came out before the movie.

    Ah, just finished re-reading "Storm of Swords 2: Blood and Gold" by George R. R. Martin. Brilliant.

    Now I can start the next book in the series, "A Feast for Crows". :)
