I'm re-reading the "Sword of Truth" series written by Terry Goodkind. I'm also reading a new installment of the Bourne Trilogy at the same time (Bourne Betrayal - based on Lobert Ludlum's work and this particular volume is written by Eric Van Lustbader).

I'm reading nothing at all. I just finished my latest book today. I'm going to start Walden by Henry D. Thoreau soon however. Should be an exciting ride into his thoughts on civilization.

I'm reading "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen...
I'm not very far, but it's off to a great start!

I think I'm also going to reread "The Giver" by Lois Lowry just because it's one of those books that are good to reread every so often.. just to gain some perspective

I'm reading two books at the moment. Out by Natsuo Kirino, and The Alchemists of Barbal by David Clement-Davies. Out is REALLY sick. Don't read it unless you have a strong stomach -_-

I have a few random books from The Foundation series culled from bookstores here and there but have yet to actually start the series. I should get a move on, eh?

I just finished the fascinating Holy Blood, Holy Grail and would love any amount of *legit* discussion on it.
I also just finished (in the past couple weeks):
Axis by Robert Charles Wilson
Capacity by Tony Ballantyne
I'm starting Ballatyne's Divergence, then reading Iain M. Banks' Matter.
I wish I could finish Kevin Kelly's Out of Control. That book single handedly persuaded me to take up network engineering built on the principles of organized chaos even though I had no previous interest in computer nerdedry.

Just finished reading "Dead Witch Walking" - Kim Harrison.

I liked this book although it was a bit different to the books I usually choose. Yes I do sometimes go for the vampire/mythological stuff (ok I admit I go for the vampire stuff ALOT, lol) but this seemed to have alot of different creatures where as the books I usually go for only have one or two. There were witches, warlocks, vampires, pixies, fairies, warewolves, leprechauns, etc etc. Once I got paced this though I found it a good read.

It is the story of a witch who works for IS, Inderland security, Inderlanders being all the beings not human. She decides her job is not fulfilling and quits taking a co-worker with her. This does not go down well and a price is put on her head. Not take this lying down she decides to do something pro-active about it.

I give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 and will probably be buying the next book in the series.
