Finished "Confessor" and while I´m on a roll I´ve decided to read some Feist, starting with "Talon of the Silver Hawk", the first book of "Conclave of Shadows".

I finished Lankhmar Book 3: Swords in the Mist and The Dark World by Henry Kuttner.

I'm now reading Lankhmar Book 4: Swords Against Wizardry.

After finally finishing Cormac McCarthy's The Road --remarkable, beautiful in it's way, why the hell did Oprah pick this?!?-- I started Kay Kenyon's City Without End, the 3rd book in the her "Entire and the Rose" series, which is little like Philip Jose Farmer's "World of Tiers", except well-written.

I recently read most of Terry Pratchett's Guards books -- Guards, Guards!, Men At Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, and The Fifth Elephant. They make a fun popcorn read, but read too many Discworld books together and realize just how bitter Pratchett really is.

Started on Stephen King Goes to the Movies and finished all except the story that inspired Hearts of Atlantis. I admire how the man construct his stories, and Children of the Corn does have a very good and rather chilling premise.

'Tis truly a modern classic. Whatever happened to the film adaptation, though. Last I saw, it was postponed to "sometime in 2009".

Rereading Watchmen in order to write and present a paper on if for a conference in April.

The Human Stain by one of my favorite authors, Phillip Roth
