So we're back then!
Still reading "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, of course ,as it's the size of a small country and weighs the equivalent of a Rottweiler.
Received at Christmas , "Pashazade" by John Courteny Grimwood, "Liar" by Stephen Fry and "Worlds End" by Mark Chadbourn...also got a hoiday in Barcelona from Mrs Pale

I was planning to start that a while ago but the prolouge was so damn bad I left it for something else. I will go back to it sometime, but I'm hoping that that was just a weak moment and the actual book is as good as the first two.

Ooooh, a book I've actually read and own! I can contribute! Wheeeeeeeeeee! 
I just finished "The Warrior-Prophet." Wow. An incredible book. My number one book of the year, as of now.

@ Amazing fellow etc : Try Gaimans "Neverwhere" followed by China's "PSS". Both alternate takes on London, PSS being a very outlandish one.

Currently reading: Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds. So far, looking as interesting as Revelation space was.

"War of the Flowers," by Tad Williams. It's a good story, just took a while for it to actually get started.

I want to reread my Gemmell - whats the book after "Quest for Lost Heroes"? Is it me, or do the Drenai novels get not as good? I've only read the first four, but Legend was definitely the best, then each one wasn't as good as the last.

Well, I finally finished Jonathon Strange & Mr Norrell last night. Damn, that was a big book!
And good too. You'll enjoy it, Rodeo. Except that it may be a little bit too like your history textbooks...
Next up is Monash - The Outsider who Won a War by Roland Perry. Early birthday present from my Ma. I love Monash. What a legend of a man!
Ahem...

just finished the Road to Verdun by Ian Ousby which was interesting if nothing else..
Started on Pan by Knut Hamsun (perhaps the most famous Norwegian book ever written except for that book by Jostein Gaarder)

I'm nearly finished Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, and then I'll be reading book 3.
So far so good. A good story, although not really a great one. Well worth a read, though (and I suspect most of you already have).

'Gust Front' by Jonny Ringo. Sequel to 'Hymn before dying' which i read for free on the Baen Books site.
Fairly standard hard military SF. Good fun.
