Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
Am reading a really interesting book about criminal profiling, I don't remember the title. I have been trying to profile my friends, and am now very nervous, if I have profiled my friends corectly I am freinds with a person who could turn out to be an arsonist, an extoritionist, an assasin type killer and a violent killer... Oh well I guess I'm in good company, all my friends think I'm a psychopath.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
Just finished Walter Moers' Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures - what an absolutely delicious book!
I managed to read quite slowly for a while (so I would have time to study), but today I finally couldn't stop reading any more. I don't know how long it's been since I read a book that I enjoyed so much!
A completely crazy world, completely crazy and yet believable characters, and a completely crazy plot that still makes sense and lots of reasons for laughing... just delicious.
I recently lent my best friend (who keeps telling me she doesn't like Fantasy) The Alchemaster's Apprentice, and even she loves it. Too bad I can't give her Rumo as well, since it's not mine. I might yet make her a Fantasy reader.
And too bad this was the last Zamonia book I hadn't read.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
I read both "Shadowmarch" and "Game of Thrones" by George R. R. Martin. "Shadowmarch" for the first time, just enjoying it and "Game..." for educational purposes; I am making website about "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Picked up the new Jacqueline Carey, Naamah's Kiss. It's already a thousand times better than the Imriel trilogy.

Okay I am so definitely not taking any clothes to Worldcon.... empty suitcase goes to the US... book-filled suitcase goes back!!!
Have just finished "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman... well.... it's Neil, can't be anything but mystifying and gorgeous... I just want to have all his books....
Now reading Brandon Sanderson's novel "Elantris", which is a very good read so far....

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
I gobbled up "Dragons of Ordinary Farm" yesterday, today I finished Jasper Fforde's "Lost in a Good Book", which I picked up on Wednesday to pass the time until my last exam (it's a veeeery weird world, that. Funny (got odd looks for laughing when everyone was waiting nervously) but I don't think I could read more than one book of his at a time).
And now I'm reading a book on annuals and biennials. You'd think I've had enough of this plant stuff after all the studying lately!

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
I'm on the last chapter of DoOF, then I'll go back to reading The City & The City by China Mieville. I have Elantris too, which'll prolly be next in line. And I've got the bf reading Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay.

I was amused by "Lost in a Good Book." I must read it again.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
Just finished Brian Ruckley's Fall of Thanes. Dark, bloody, unforgiving, with what could likely be the largest body count of major characters in the history of the genre, this book is a great conclusion to one of the very best fantasy series of the new millennium.
Check the blog for the full review. :)

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
I'm currently reading Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. I haven't read it since elementary school and something made me want to revisit it recently when I saw it at my local bookstore. I have never read the rest of the Time Quintet, and I would like to, so I thought I'd start at the beginning.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?
Just finished Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Angel's Game as well as Alice Hoffman's The Story Sisters. Loved them both & wasn't sure I could read another book so soon after so much bliss, but then I jumped right in to the Dragons of Ordinary Farm and am loving it as well. Whatever I read next doesn't stand a chance....

I'm reading the Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman. And breaking my head on where I read parts of it before.
