Just finished Paul Kearney's excellent The Ten Thousand.
Good pace, grim setting, superior characterization, bloody battles -- The Ten Thousand is Paul Kearney writing at the top of his game.
The novel is a brutal and uncompromising tale of warfare and survival written by one of the most underrated talents in the fantasy genre.
Check the blog for the full review.

Just started a few days ago - Artimus Fowl: The Artic Incident by Eoin Colfer
Recently finished The Supernaturals and kind of liked it.
I decided to give Colfer another chance.

Well, visit the Watch's sister-site, Ahira's Hangar, and you can. There's a whole LeGuin Forum, and of course, the ongoing Earthsea group read. There's still chapters availabale for Tombs of Atuan too.
(And to get this back on topic, I too am rereading ToA for the read.)

Yesterday I got a craving to re-read Magician, Silverthorn, and Darkness at Sethanon by Raymond Feist, which I intend to do after Toll The Hounds. Must be about 6 years since my last re-read of them. No doubt that'll get me nicely in the mood for an Empire re-read, which happens every 2 or 3 years. Shame that Feist milked the series so much: don't have much time for anything after DaS.

Lovecraft - The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories.
Just finished "Cthulhu" itself. Loved it. A couple of the stories in this colledtion aren't the strongest, but some (like "Cthulhu", "Picture in the House" and "The Outsider") are fantastic.
