    The Last Hero by Pratchett. I haven't actually started it yet, but it's the book I'm going to read next. ;)

    Finished "the light fantastic"

    I'm really getting into discworld, it's too funny, although I hope to see more of DEATH in the next.

    Now continueing on with the second part of "a storm of swords" called "blood and gold"

    Temple of the Winds of the Sword of Truth books, by Terry Goodkind, though I truly hate the lead character. He has that lut for practicality about him that drives me nuts. And I don't particularly like that all-powerful thing either... but, hey, the book isn't bad.

    Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles. It's the story of Arthur really, through the eyes of a monk named Derfel, who was once a captain of a warband that served under him. It is brilliant, one of his best work (having said that, I don't think I've read anything that's not some of his best work!)

    I'm reading Redwall, by Brian Jacques. When I started it I thought "What is this book? It sucks", but curiosity of what would happen next finally won me and now I almost finished it. It's a very nice book and worth reading it.

    The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King.
    I finished each book before the movie was out, and I'm going to be in time for part 3.
    Next one will be Lords and Ladies - Terry Pratchett or Crime School - Carol O'Connell

    The Duncton books by William Horwood again.

    I'm at a bit of a loss for new books at the moment - I wish George Martin, JV Jones and Kate Elliott would hurry up and finish their books. I'd even be happy with another Robert Jordan book I'm so desperate.

    Arabwel: Took me a while to get into Catch 22 too, but its now one of my favourites - keep at it.
