    I'm about to finish Insurrection, so I'll be reading Condemnation next...

    And then I'll re-read The Thousand Orcs and then read The Lone Drow (I just found it on paperback yesterday...so I *had* to buy it :p )

    Well, today I reread most of Neuromancer while I waited for the phone lines to work again - must get some more cyberpunky goodness when I go movieing on Friday.

    @ Aikanaro. Just get the next one in the series I think its "count Zero","virtual light" or "Mona lisa overdrive". it's bin a couple of years since I read them. I finished Neuromancer a couple a months ago, I think I'm going to reread them all again.

    I read the Hobbit for the second time, but I'm not sure if I finish it, because recently I bought "L'eglise de Satan" by Arnaud Delalande... It's about the fall of the Knights of the Temple (or Templars if you prefer).

    Finished Assassins Apprantice by Robin Hobb, a very good read and I enjoyed it immensely. Pity I haven't the second part at home right now so I'll be reading 'Sourcery' a discworld novel.

    I have just finished "A hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and am currently reading the second book in the series "The restaurant at the end of the universe", Written by Douglas Adams.
    Both are a little hard to follow but very funny all the way through.

    ...hard to follow, perhaps. But absolutely hilarious.

    I've just started Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, based on recommendations by SP members. :) So far, so good, and a great way to start off my summer vacation. :thumb:

    From a Buick 8 by Stephen King

    I thought it would be like "Christine" but its not really about a killer car. To me its more about mans fascination and fear of the unknown. Its down right un-nerving at times. :mommy:

    Ohh, so I finally started reading books again, after a very long hiatus. And I'm reading The Fifth Sorceress and The Gates of Dawn, both are by Robert Newcomb, and both are part of The Chronciles of Blood and Stone. Excellent series! I can't wait to get my hands on the third installment.

    Hogsfather by Pratchet - turns out that I got the wrong book when looking for cyberpunky goodness, and need to read Count Zero before Mona Lisa Ocerdrive :(

    lol Aikanaro, I have the same problem because of my lousy memory. I borrowed Mona Lisa overdrive before I got Count zero, so now I have to wait. Luckily I also got my hands on Virtual light, so its not that bad

    I finally started reading my first Harry Potter book ever ( Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone ) It's good, because it's easy and fast to read.

    And, I haven't yet finished Neil Gaiman's American Gods , so I try to read that too.
