Waiting for the next Gibson "stealing light" book, and Hamilton "dreaming void" one.
Considering revisiting and continuing the "wheel of time" books, the author (Robert Jordan/James Rigney) did seem to lose it with these books, but the series was taken over using his notes (he died), and has improved again I am told

I've read to Book 10. It lost it's way around Books 5-7 but was back on track again by Book 8. I really enjoyed it from then. I'm re-reading the David Eddings Books, starting with Belgarath the Sorceror and reading through the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I have all the books now and am enjoying the story immensely. I'm waiting for the next Patrick Rothfuss book (first was "The Name of the Wind") it keeps getting delayed so I'm getting ancy, it's been over a year since the first one. I hope the 3rd doesn't take this long!!

Just reading Ring by Koji Suzuki, then I'll start on the Stieg Larsson trilogy. I'm also reading the Death Note manga. It's much more involved than the film/anime and the art is very good.

Just finished Sourcery by T.Pratchett. Started The Night Watch by Sergie Lukyanenko, which is enjoyable so far (page 117 of 531). Have The Summoner by Gail Z. Martin to follow. Haven't read anything by the last 2 before so looking forward to reading these. yours wecrookie ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Reading Tödes Bräute from Karen Rose (not sure on the English name, I think "Scream for Me") Still on the last of the Stieg Larsson Millenium Series - Absolution.
Also have Operation Mincemeat by Ben Macintyre on the go - the true story of the dead body out into the sea off Spain as a decoy for the Scicily landings. Will be getting Agent Zig Zag after that.
Also a Jack Reach on the go

Currently reading "The Other Side of The Hill" by B H Liddell Hart.
It's a book published just after the Second World War, "German's generals, their rise and fall, with their own account of military events 1939-1945".
It's a bit dry, but for an amateur historian of the period like me, it has some fascinating insights into the rise of Hitler through to the fall of France in 1940. I probably won't bother reading beyond that period, as it doesn't interest me as much.

Currently reading The Grand Design - Stephen Hawking. Really interesting book so far. Easier to read than A Brief History of Time though.
Looking forward to reading Confessions of a Conjuror - Derren Brown. It's not out until the 21st though.
Will prob read either Die trying - Lee Child or Stephen Fry's new book before then.

Lee Child is ace! Reacher is one of my favourite characters. I'm re-reading the Killing Floor at the mo. He manages to kill someone in jail with a kick to the throat which broke the voicebox. He also pops out another guys eyes. Where are the films is what I want to know!

The last book I read was Gone Tomorrow and I loved it! (Although I think that is the latest Jack Reacher book). I'm now going back and reading from the start ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif) Gone Tomorrow was awesome! None stop action from start to finish. Brilliant!
