Well, after reading the three first books of the Malazan I have now picked up "house of chains". Love these books!

and also reading Diana Gabaldon's second book... but that one might have to wait a bit longer..

Clausewitz is brilliant. Many of his tenets of warfare are still relevant. I think everybody should read him

Recently read The Bourne Legacy by Eric Van Lustbader! I hadn't even heard about that and was skeptical, but, hey, I love Bourne, so I bought it. And it read just like Ludlum. Lustbader really nailed the writing style (given he hasn't written that sort of thing in years - he's all fantasy now, isn't he?)

Now reading one of Joel Shepherd's Cassandra Kresnov novels, Killswitch. Thoroughly enjoyable pulp - even having missed the second book in the series. A fairly decent Aussie author, this one, if you've never heard of him

Reading 1421 by Gavin Mendies at the moment. It's bout how the Chinese discovered America decades before Columbus and also discovered Austalia 300 years before Cook. Interesting read.

Nooooo, don't read it! It'll melt your mind! haha. Started A Perfect Peace by Amos Oz and am hooked after about 10 pages. Brilliant writer.

Read a bunch lately. Lets see.

"Emperor: The Gates of Rome" by Conn Iggulden. Rather like Roman history lite. After reading McCullough's series, nothing else compares.

"Caesar's Gallic Commentaries" by Gaius Julius Caesar. Man, what a pompous ass. Good reading though for the military historian in me.

"Darwinia" by Robert Charles Wilson. Interesting book. I liked it.

Milos Taverner sighed, ran his hand back across his mottled scalp as if to verify that what remianed of his hair was still present, and lit another nic.

Onto 'The Gap into Vision: Forbidden Knowledge'.

@Nakijo: How is Going Postal? Is it worth getting the Hardcover edition?

I'm into 'A Fortress of Grey Ice' from JV Jones at the moment. Entertaining read, and an interesting world she built up there (whole clan society stuff and so on).
