I am currently reading Rose Estes' Mika novels (on book 1, Master Wolf, Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn, and I plan on starting 2 Eberron series. Yeah, I'm a teacher, and I'll have plenty of time in about a week.

I just finished Night Watch and Moving Pictures, by Terry Pratchett. Night Watch was new to me, and excellent. Moving Pictures I had read before, some time ago, and apparently my memory had glossed over large portions of it. I think that's probably my least favorite of the Discworld books; it just didn't have anything that grabbed me.

I'm still hoping that the copy of Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher that I ordered has come in at work. It SHOULD be here, but I'm still not sure. Grrr on that. I'm just going to have to remember to restrain myself, and not read it all in one long day and night.

Thinking about picking up City of Towers, since I've heard several times that it's worth reading, and I'm going to start running an Eberron game soon. Immersing myself in some of that flavor wouldn't be a bad idea.

Currently reading "Prophecy and Change" a Star Trek: DS9 anthology.

On tap for the future?
The Bronze Canticles by Tracey & Laura Hickman
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke
The Vampire Genevieve (a "Warhammer" compilation)
The Dresden Files

Just finished The Wall Mart Effect, Kage Baker's new Company novel The Children of the Company and The Davinci Code. My wife made me read that last one before we saw the movie. Thanks to Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle I figured out the second password on my own.

Moving on to the graphic novel Maus, loaned to me by a friend. I need something else to read, so keep this thread going!

I'm not reading anything at the moment (apart from ENworld), but after my last exam (a week on Monday)I've got a few books lined up to read: 'Gormengast' by Mervyn Peake, 'Crime & Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoyevski, and 'Vanishing Point' by Dan Brown.

After that lot, I'm planning on checking out a few classics I really should have read but haven't*, and also catching up on the Drizzt novels and reading a few of the Warhammer novels, in advance of the 40k RPGs' being launched next year.

*Moorcock, Howard, other suggestions welcome!

Henry V by William Shakespeare
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by J. R. R. Tolkein
Riptide by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

I have Dean Koontz's Velocity as well, but haven't started it yet. I recently re-read Fritz Lieber's original Fafhrd and Gray Mouser tales as well as a somewhat exhaustive collection of William Blake poetry.

 

[NiTessine]

I'm currently reading Peter Carey's Jack Maggs, which is something of a criminal drama set in Victorian London, and is beginning to feel like a retelling of Dickens' Great Expectations from Magwitch's point of view.

After that, I've got the first six books of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files lined up: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Masks and Blood Rites.
