    Onto Sword In The Storm by Gemmell. It's not as good as the second in the series - Midnight Falcon - but it's one of Gemmell's better books.

    I put in an order for six WoT books (through SP ;) ) so I should be ok for reading for a while :D

    The comical tragedy or tragical comedy of Mr. Punch was... weird. Didn't really like it to tell the truth :/

    Goinf back to classics and re-reading There is a Tide by Agatha Christie

    Harry Potter of course. I am only at Chapter 18 so I have a wee bit to go. I am surprised that everyone has finished it so quickly!

    Dubliners, by James Joyce. It's a collection of short stories about, well, Dublin.

    Dubliners is a good book, but its not a good representation of modern day Dublin. If you have not read Ulysses don't bother, the following sums up his (and probably the worlds) worst book:

    That may be but "The Dead" may still be the best short story ever written, at least in IMHO.

    Almost finished The Adversary by Julian May (last book of The Saga of the Exiles). Still one of the best series EVAR!

    And am now reading One Hundred Years of Solitude. I understand how some people could call it incredibly boring - but I love it :D

    It is, however, rather annoying trying to keep track of who the characters are...

    Magical realism for my NaNo 2005 :grin:

    I'm currently reading a book series called: The first man in Rome I'm on the first book called 'the road of honor'...

    @ Cúchulainn: How could you be suprised? When I first got the book, I sat down, began reading and didn't stop until it was finished (It took me about 20 hours to read it :p )

    For the flight back to Canada I am going to put aside the Live Ship trilogy and read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

    I have a pre-mail ordered copy waiting at home but I bought another one here for only 12 Euro as I decided that I wanted to read it during the flight.

    Oh well, at least my two copies have different covers.

    Re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I bought my copy in the Athens airport, then finished it on my flight back home.
