I'm currently deep into Mistress of the Empire by Raymond E Feist and Janny Wurst. I can't put it down and it's totally like being thrown into another world. One of my mates recommended it to me and I'm so glad they did. I stopped reading fantasy for a long time but I can't understand why.

The Prestige - Christopher Priest. Finding this hard to put down.


Life of Pi - Yann Martel. Second reading.


I didn't realize the Prestige was a book. Or am I wrong in assuming this is the novel upon which the Hugh Jackman film was based?

I'm reading Life of Pi as well. :)

It's the same story, yeah. I haven't read it yet myself, but my library has a copy. So, one day.

Currently reading: Shadowfell by Juliet Marillier. I've read a couple books by her before, one I loved, and one so dull I couldn't finish. This one's okay so far, but the plot points are VERY formulaic for high fantasy. I like the characters quite well though.

Civilization - The West and the Rest by Niall Ferguson. A good fast read and informative. But I'm a non-fiction nerd, so I love this kind of thing.

Just finished Lolita. It made me gag a little bit in places, but the writing was phenomenal, and I would even go so far as to say it's a fun book to read.

Next up: The Virgin Suicides (need to think about adding some more cheery books into the mix in the future).

Almost finished with Trouble Is My Business by Raymond Chandler.

Next book after that is finishing up Dashiell Hammett's Nightmare Town, and then continue working on Henry Chang's Red Jade.
