Anyone else going to soon start reading through the Dark Tower ready for the final book? Or have you re-read them lately?

Just back from vacation (in Vienna & Budapest)and read quite a load of books:
The Drawing of the Dark (Tim Powers), which is set in Vienna so it was a plus to actually read it there. Verny nice book if a little short.
The Lord of the Flies (William Golding) Entertaining but frankly I didn''t see what the big deal is about (also, the post-World War 3 setting was really weird, imho)
Lest Darkness Falls (L. Sprague de Camp) a well-researched and classic time-travel adventure (from the '30's)
the Shaper/Mechanist short stories (Bruce Sterling) which are SUPERB Sf-stories --> saving the Shaper/Mech novel Schismatrix for later
Now reading: the supernatural Cold War thriller Declare! by Tim Powers.

Reading McCarthy´s Bar by Pete McCarthy. Very enjoyable, especially the part I have just finished reading where he describes the ferry ride from hell with drunken rugby teams and out of control children...and to think I almost bought a ticket to go on that particular ferry! Looks like I have an ancestor/saint that looks after me afterall

Marduk, your really not missing much with the Pressfield novel, cant say I was very impressed with it.
Possibly open and read Going Postal, but really want my copy of Last Kingdom by Cornwell to land. Been looking forward to that for ages.

Read Hard Rain by Barry Eisler, the second in the series about assassin John Rain. Very slick and stylish books, evoke the setting of Japan extremely well- feel like I know half the place now. Plot's not that solid, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
