About to start reading Nick Sagan's Idlewild.
It doesn't look terribly original or anything but it's gotten some good reviews, so I'll give it a go. Plus, I like the name.

Now reading Burning Chrome by William Gibson (hey was only €6, couldn't leave that on the shelf).

I read that one quite some time ago, its a great book to leave in the bathroom, you usually know whos reading it by the laughter coming out such as the one where it was death by multiple orgasm. Hilarious.

Finished the Mordant's Need books recently. Continuing a reread of DG I started a while back while I save up for the Gap sequence.

Just taken delivery of a few books, "Postscripts,Issue 2", "Millenium" by John Harvety and Al Reynolds new one "Century Rain".
Finished "1602" by Neil Gaiman. A refreshing take on the old Marvel characters, in a Eliabethan setting. If you grew up reading Marvel,or you're just a Gaiman fan...get this .

I'm attempting to get hold of a script for "Ying Tong", which I went to watch in the west end on saturday. Don't really know where to start looking though, or even if it would be availiable at all...
Apart from that, stil reading Cloud Atlas. Lost my enthusiasm for it somewhat, haven't found a book thats really gripped me for a while now. damn the delayed publishing of tBh

Inversions is the only book I've read by his - I just wondered what you thought of it. No doubt the opposite to what I thought of it...

Currently reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. Amazing book!
@Abeleyn
It is excellent. A bunch of new characters and old ones have very brief cameos without ever taking the focus away from the new folks
As for the HC, I always think an HC is worthwhile for an author I like. I just like the way they look on the shelf. One day I want to replace every paperback in my library with a HC edition

Read so much since I last posted here, I can't actually remember them all...
Jennifer Government, Redemption Ark, Douglas Adam's Starship Titanic (by Terry Jones) where certainly some of them though... and a historical fiction about Alexander the Great called "Gates of Hell" by Paul Doherty, which was particularly uninspiring, but the only thing that looked worth buying on the ferry on one or another of my trips to france...
Now gonna start Neal Asher's "Gridlinked". I love his books

i would have to second brood in that, banks is top of the scifi authors ive read, i need to get the new one that just come out, 'the algerbraist'(sp?) im reading 'Feersum Engine' at the moment, quite intreguing in parts
im also reading 'as i lay dieing' by william faulkner, its ok, but its for collage so i have to speed read it then disect that plot and charecters, take away all the fun
also, 'Fantastic voyage: live long enouph to live for ever.'(LOL) by ray kurzweil whicj is a sort of healthy eating diet book mixed in are lots of parts that look to the future of medical tech and nanotech etc, he may be a tad on the optimist side for some but i like that

@The First Sword: to echo countless others, this series is worth reading. King has surpassed all expectations I had for this series.
Plus, it's so rare what he's doing in the states here. The final three books are coming out in a 10 month period. Quite amazing really. It's nice to have such a rapid conclusion.
