Now I'm reading 'Graceling' by Kristin......something. It's about a girl who is a graceling which means she is born with a special talent and hers is......killing people. Really fascinating book. Gotta wonder what kind of mark she would have as a pony with /that/ kind of special talent. XP

I picked up a copy of 'Battle Royale' yesterday on my way home.  After seeing the movie for the first time in 5 years a few days ago, I HAD to give the book a go.  I'm 11 chapters in already.

Oooh, is it good? I always fancied reading that.

I'm reading "The Truth" by Terry Pratchett. I'm getting into it slowly, but I'm sure I will fall madly in love with it as I have the rest of Discworld.

Add me to the people reading Song of Ice and Fire.

I'm currently on Feast for Crows it's still interesting, but it is a slower read.

I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring because I am super late to the LOTR party.

Reading Stygian's Honor by Lora Leigh. It's pure smut.
I have many of her novels. They are.....strangely addicting.

I recently re-read Volume 1 of the manga 'Pavane for a Dead Girl' by Koge-Donbo*. Volume 2 will never be released in the US because the company that translated it went bankrupt last year. Which really sucks, now I'll never know what will happen. I highly reccomend anything by Koge-Donbo*. She's like my idol when it comes to drawing.

Picked up book six in Adrian Tchaikovsky's excellent series Shadows of the Apt.  It's called The Sea Watch, and if you haven't read these yet, do please give them a try, especially if you fancy big thick books of historically-seasoned fantasy fiction - and if you don't mind insects/arthropods, as they're the only creatures besides people in these books.  What's really different about these is that all the different people are "kinden" to different types of insect life, so you find you're reading about the ephemerally beautiful butterfly-kinden and the group-minded ant-kinden, and the industrious beetle-kinden, and so on.  There's some excellent political intrigue and espionage woven in, and a whole war reminiscent of the Great War, and so on.  Great characterization, the people really seem to leap off the pages, and I just can't put the darned things down!  And I don't much like bugs, so if I'm reading them, they've got to have something extra-special.

I really like this thread; I'm getting all kinds of ideas for my next trip to the (virtual) bookstore!

I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring because I am super late to the LOTR party.

heeh. I've been going through that for details about Theoden for an rp game, when I write out his description.

I looooove that one! Sadly, Kristin Cashore's other two books aren't nearly as good, but I'm a big Graceling fan. Alexia even got a copy signed for me by Cashore!

I'm reading City of Secrets - the 4th book in the Stravaganza series by Mary Hoffman.

I think a lot of you would LOVE this series! It's fun. Start with the first book. It's about kids (teenagers) from 20th century London find talismans brought to their world and the talismans transport them to 16th century Italy but in an alternate dimension.

There is crossover on plots and characters throughout the series but each book focuses on one central character and introduces a new "Stravagante" (person who can move between worlds).

I'm currently reading a book all about the theories of the Great Pyramid:  Decoding the Pyramids.  Yay nonfiction!

MY current 'serious' book is A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, who I love and adore - his writing is just exquisite! On the side then I am also reading a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's work, a funny Grumpy Old Women book, Farley Mowatt's Never Cry Wolf (reading with hubby) and The Life Of Pi by Yann Martel! I like to have a lot of books on the go at once!
