I haven't been able to read a word in a couple weeks. But when I can again, hopefully even today, I'll continue with my re-read of Memories of Ice, before moving on to my re-read of House of Chains, then on to the rest of Malazen, which I haven't read yet.

After a quick read of Gemmels The Swords of Night And Day, last of the Drenai Books, and book 2 of The Damned, I'm busy on Gardens of the Moon, again courtesy of LuciMay.

(Don't know if I mentioned reading Gemmels two Troy books last month...can't wait to see if the last is done justice.)

Ouch. NOT a page-turner.

Currently reading A Dark and Hungry God Arises. Never can remember the author's name though... :P

Am now reading Castle in the Air, after having read Howl's Castle. The hardcover copy of Jonathan Strange. . . is too heavy to lug to work and back, and takes up too much space in my totebag. :(

Not exactly a sci-fi fantasy book though is it? ;)

Personally, I quite liked it...how Heathcliff lured young whatsername to her death...

I have no idea what this books counts as, but I've just read the first few pages and it is looking really good to me. "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield. It has a great recommendation by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.

Currently reading "Fool's Fate" by Robin Hobb. Damn that iQuestor anyway for getting me hooked on the Farseers. I've had *way* too many late nights over the past couple of weeks.... ;)

No, but I will definitely look that one up. Planning a trip to Half Price Books.
