The Island of the Day Before by Umberto Eco. After this I'm going to start The System of the World.

Finished:
System of the World by Neal Stephenson. Last volume in the Baraoque Cycle and, as expected, top-notch stuff.
Wolfblade by William King, good for a GW novel but actually mediocre.
Reading:
Fevre Dream by GRR Martin.
After this I'm going to retry the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (Donaldson) 'cause Runes of the Earth is out and I just have to get this series sometime so this look like a opportune moment.

Second book by the amacing Norwegian writer named Agnar Mykle. The book's name is "Sagaen om den røde rubin", or "The Tale of the red rubie". And no, he is not writing adventure tales with pirates and stuff. The title is purely symbolic

The Runes of the Earth is an example of some of the best writing I have ever read. Donaldson has certainly achieved his aim when he took 20 years away from Thomas Covenant in order to improve his writing ability. Read this book (but read the other six first!)
I finished Runes yesterday. I'm reading Tad Williams' new novel, Shadowmarch (volume one).

Reading Milan Kundera! Damn it 
I'm falling in love with philosophy. I'm also reading Darkness at Noon, but that is for history class to understand Stalin's purges better. But Milan Kundera is to be read by all and everyone!

Thanks Oponn
Quote "dreamy vague and wandering quality "
That describes what I have read of Wolfe perfectly. I just wish I could connect with it.
"Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold of himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed, and many consider these Wolfe's best books." (back cover.)

Just finished reading Sunshine by Robin McKinley. I enjoyed it. It took me a dog's-age to get hold of the damn book though.

Well I am onto "The Wasp Factory" at the moment. All I can think is: Brilliant, but twisted beyond recognition! For some disturbing reason it reminds me of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." In the way it is written, but a lot more bizzare and wierd.

@Pale - Definately get TDTCB off the shelf!! It's a great read. Books like this only deserve shelf treatment after they've been read!!

Went to the library and came back with 16 books. Starting with Patricia Cornwell's 'Southern Cross'.
