Finished Step Across This Line, which wasnt very good. Rushdie should stick to writing fiction.
Might read Black Dogs by Iain McEwan next.

"Devices and Desires - K.J. Parker"
EH? Thanks for drawing my attention to that.
Have to get that very, very soon.
Finished Kafka by the Shore which was very good.
Now reading Slaughterhouse Five, though that might change when i get my hands on the new KJ parker.

You missed out, Duiker!! j/k
Still reading The Ninja, by Eric Lustbader, but I am mixing it with the "Tabloid Bible" written by Nick Page. It is a very funny version of the bible, written as if there was a Tabloid newspaper reporting on all the incidents which occur in the bible.

currently reading Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow
That's one difficult book. Never got past pg. 50 or so.
Now reading number9dream by the seminal David Mitchell.
And want to add: I NEVER had a Eddings phase.

True.
But you also got to remember that tactics and strategy in medieval times werent as developed as they coulda been.
For instance if you read paul kearney, his strategy/tactics might not be accurate compared to medieval warfare but they are definitely realistic.
Though, in general i do agree that battles in fantasy arent done as well as they could be. I'm just saying that just because they arent exactly like medieval battles doesnt necessarily mean that they are unrealistic.

On Saturday I stayed in bed all day, drank copious amounts of tea and read Legend by David Gemmell for about the 10th time in my life. So trashy, but I love it.

I agree with Sormo, many of us had an Eddings phase, I used to enjoy his books as a teenager and have no problems with others who still enjoy them. Don't let the turkeys
scare you off, Ma'kea!
