    Hehe Shameless, yet brillaint advertising.

    I am reading Hogfather at the mo, as announced in my mammoth poll i have just posted.
    Damn good book actually, Pratchett often gives the impression that his books require some different level of thought. But this one proves it.
    The man is a nutcase.

    :lol: anything for a plug ;) I realize I should read them in order, Tal :rolleyes: You missed the magic word "found"! When I get some extra money, I am still going to read the Grewhawk books first. I still remember all those old mods :)

    I am reading Paul Austers Moon Palace which is really good. A few years ago, I threw the book away in disgust after reading 30 pages or so because I felt bored by it. Now, it is fascinating me. :)

    Just started Time of the Twins by Weis. I'm expecting it to be just as good as the Chronicles. :)

    I'm currently reading "The Spine of the World" by Salvatore.
    I heard many things about this book, mainly how boring it is but so far I enjoyed it.
    But Wulfgar's apathy and torture stuff is getting boring.
    Anyway i have to finish it to better understand the other RAS books.

    I've read most of Salvatore's books (except for the new ones), they're okay but definitely not my favorites.

    I read a lot of books at the same time, can't say why. Currently: The Ill-Made Mute, Carpe Jugulum, Echoes of the Great Song, The Minority Report (almost done), Canterbury Tales (halfway through, I read it a year ago but now I'm going through it carefully... old English is great though), and now, Sophie's World.

    I just finished "Winter's Heart" by Jordan -- enough is enough, already -- end the bloody series and start something else! I also recently finished the entire LOTR cycle, going to try to find the time to read "The Simalrillion" and "Unfinished Tales". I'm reading "The Hobbit" to my eight year old daughter.

    Taluntain, you shouldn't sleep through Eliot! She's the greatest novelist in the English language! (according to some) Of course, she got that title for "Middlemarch", but I'm sure some of it spilled into "The Mill on the Floss". :evil:

    Just finished the Otherland series, it was a bit disapointing. Tad Williams's style is slow and boring at times especially in the later books in that series.

    Right now I am reading "About a boy" by Nick Hornby and I have to admit that it is hilarious.

    Servant of the Shard - RA Salvatore
    Unbelievable!
    I can say that this is the best Drizzt book i've read, although it doesn't include Drizzt!
