    Dragonlance The Icewall Trilogy was really good...

    Currently I'm supposed to be reading Lord of the Flies. ::)

    The Inheritance books are amazing.

    I am reading Improbable by Adam Fawer. He is a new author but the book is really good. Deals with probability, infinity, schizophreniea, the Russian mafia, the RDEI, and the murder of loves-struck graduate students. Good book.

    I has to read LotF too, if I want to get into AP English. (Which I don't)

    I'm reading the Ultimates 2. I don't have much problems with the Ultimates series, but I'm a pretty huge comic fanboy, so it chesses me off when out of context, it refers to Ultimate Wolverine as Wolverine and etc. (I loathe Ultimate Hawkeye's costume.)

    Hmmm, I'm inbetween books right now. I just finished reading The Grapes of Wrath last week or so which, despite being required high school reading, is a very good book. I was reading Romeo and Juliet before that, but had to stop around Act 4 to read Grapes and I just don't seem to have the initiative to pick it up agian. Don't get me wrong, it's a great play; I've just been away from it for too long and it hasn't been long enough to justify re-reading from the beginning.

    Oh, and TheSilverKnight, The Flood is only a mediocre book. Eric Nylund does a much better job with the first and third books of the series.

    I'm reading through the Halo books which are a suprisingly good read. I just finished re-reading The Grapes of Wrath and The DaVinci Code. After this I plan on reading through the play Julius Casear for a couple good monologues for Acting next year.

    Edit: I agree with Baerdog. The first was much better than the second one and the third is shaping out to be brilliant as well.

    Current book:
    Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I liked the Da Vinci Code better. Because as soon as the Holy Grail got mentioned, I went into giggle fits every other paragraph. Monty Python got to me first.

    Book Queue:
    Alice in Wonderland and through the looking glass by Lewis Carrol - Good book that I just need to read again.
    The couple of Terry Pratchett books I've got laying around that aren't read yet. - I don't like having unread books!
    The Oddyssey by Homer - I'm on a classics kick
    The several Skakespear plays that I got at the yard sale - I haven't read them and feel uncultured.
    Stardust by Neil Gaiman - I own it and haven't read it yet, and Neil Gaiman is awesome.
    American Gods by Neil Gaiman - For time, what 4? Possibly my favorite book, my copy is very well loved.
    The rest of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis - I have the whole series in one book, but can't seem to get past the first chapter or two of Book 3, just because I get distracted by other books.
    The rest of the series about the dragon snow guy - Can't remember the real name, that's a bad sign, but again with the unread book thing

    Oddly, I started reading Small Gods lately...I guess that's another book I'm in the middle of, never really got into it and really wasn't that huge of fan. I guess as much as everyone else swoons over pratchett, i just don't.

    What? You wanted novels, not the ones required for my uni studies?

    Well, in that case I suppose you could say that I am reading all the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchet, the Robot series of books by Isaac Asimov and the Dune series by Frank Herbert. Thats been put on hold though due to my studies (see above).

    Yay! Alarra has good taste, but what else do we expect from our resident Goddess of Pudding? ;D

    What, me?

    Re-reading Tad William's "Memory, Thorn and Sorrow" trilogy. It's kinda LOTR mixed with King Arthur and the Prester John myth, but does the cliches well. I'd recommend it to any D&D player.

    Reading "Age of Scandal" by T.H.White of "Sword in the Stone" fame. It's a mad take on British high society in the 18th century, shows there's nothing new under the sun and that today's 'bad boy' media icons are sissies.

    Thumbing through "Warfare in the Classical World" by John Warry and "The Punic War" by Brian Caven atm. Feel a big ole classics binge coming on...

    I'm not reading anything at the moment, having exhausted my unfortunately small supply of books. The last thing I read (which I'm thinking about reading again...) was The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkein and I reread the Halo trilogy again... Alas, so little to read. Maybe I'll try and find out where I packed my Redwall books...

    Yeah, I suppose I'm going to have to read that also. I hardly ever read (yeah I'm lame, bite me). It takes a really good/inseresting book to keep me reading.

    How's The Da Vinci Code? I figure I'll try reading that before I see the movie. I hardly every watch movies either. ;)
