I'm currently reading Alvin Journeyman - book 4 in the Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card.

For liesure

For pleasure, I'm reading J. Gregory Keyes A Calculus of Angles which is the second book in his Empire of Unreason story. Great stuff. It's fun seeing Isaac Newton kicking butt.
In addition I just got the Kalamar Player's Guide, and I like what I've read in that so far. Gaming books too often read like text books.

finished PSS and loved it... deals with issues that other books in the genre don't dare... especially loved the hunting for a person to use in the hospice. nasty stuff.

I'm reading Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October." I liked the movie a lot, and I've been into a Spycraft kick, so I figured I'd start with Clancy's first book.

Damn, that's a great book. When you're finished I recommend Red Storm Rising - a WWIII scenario done Clancy style.

I mentioned this book (and its companion list) in another thread but felt it might be of some interest here as well -

Oddly enough (for me), I'm reading a couple of comic book novelizations of series I missed as comics. I just finished Book 2 (of 3) of Rising Stars (based on the comic series by J. Michael Straczynski, although Arthur Byron Cover wrote the novelization), and am now about a third of the way through Book 1 (of 3) of Fathom, written by Kevin Andrew Murphy but based on Michael Turner's comic book series. Both series are very well done; makes me wish I'd picked up the comics when they were out. But this works just as well, and the fact that they're library books stops them from eating into my comic book budget.

I'm also reading through the 3E Fiend Folio, but I don't think that's what you're looking for in this thread.

Just read the Discworld book Men At Arms...took me forever to find the stupid thing. Great book. I've now started re-reading trhough the Dune books. I'm about 30 pages into Dune at the moment...its been around 4 years since I've read any of them. Feels good.

This is the thread that wouldn't die, isn't it?

I picked up a used copy of Cherryh's Fortress in the Eye of Time on Saturday. This is one heck of a good book. It started slowly but hooked me - amnesia of a sort is usually interesting in a protagonist. I'm more than halfway through and really don't know where the book is going to end, which in my opinion is a good thing.

(As opposed to, "well, I'm 3/4 of the way through the book, and surprise surprise, they're closing in on the Dark Lord's Castle..."
