Well, since no one has put this up yet, why not? This thread introduces us to new books and old ones as we read through all the titles each individual posts, so I think that this thread is pretty helpful.
I am currently re-reading:
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb
The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
Nothing new for me to read unless they are my IP or Psych textbooks. I finished The Golden Fool by Hobb a time ago.

Mieville has quickly become one of my favorite all time Writers!!! I found another book of his... The Scar, to be just as incredible as Perdido. Also, King Rat was a great entertaining dark adventure.
anyways...Hope your enjoying it ;)

I just finished DARWIN'S CHILDREN by Greg Bear. It is the sequel to the Nebula winning DARWIN'S RADIO. I consider the first book to be close to a masterpiece of science fiction. The sequel starts off great, slows down a bit, and then the last few hundred pages fly. The first book is about evolution; the second book is about the social implications of that evolution to the world. Very cool premise, and sure to captivate readers in April 2003. 
As to what I am going to read next... I have no idea.

Dreamer of Dune by Brian Herbert. And it's an advance copy, so you can't have it. Mwahaha!

C.S. Lewis is great! I've been reading the Narnia books again, and I'm thinking of picking up the Space Trilogy. I've had a hard time deciding what I want to read lately.

I'm reading Enchanter by Sara Douglass. It's the second book in the Axis trilogy. I loved the first. Strangely, my copy of the first book is titled The Wayfarer Redemption but everywhere else it's referred to as BattleAxe. It's got to be the same book, just with different titles. Go figure.

The Wayfarer Redemption title, BattleAxe, was left off the first book by Tor Books.

While the forum was out, I started-and finished- A Game of Thrones....and I'm still stunned at how incredibly good it was. I had expectations, but not THAT high... O_o
Anyway, GRUB! How's Dreamer of Dune? Do they clear up the fact that the Dune Encyclopedia is NOT official Dune material and shouldn't be the basis of all omplaints about their prequels!?
If you do things right, people wont be sure you did anything at all.
So yeah, I blogged.

Alright, I know that by saying this I'll probably be kicked off the site, but I am re-reading David Eddings' Pawn of Prophesy. I really like the series, even though it isn't Brooks. I especially like the character Silk, he's hillarious!

lol. hehe.
You can hide in my room. They wouldn't dare kick me out. I have the nicest, cushiest walls.  Also, I have a nice, stout stick and I know how to use it. ::threatens from underneath her rock:: I'd leave nice purpling bruises if they dared to remove us Eddings' books likers from the premises. ;)
I like Eddings too and even those overused jokes. I like the typical characters with hardly any development. I even like the redundancy. I stick to my belief that Eddings did not make The Belgariad and The Mallorean similar because of lack of ideas but because that was the way he wanted it and the way the story was going. Everything was supposed to be "recycled" in a way, if my memory is correct (which it usually isn't).

Finished A Storm of Swords last week. Brilliant series. Now reading and half way through Crossroads of Twilight. Disappointing thus far. Nothing is really happening.
