Currently - "Lessek's Key" - Part 2 of the Eldarn Sequence
by Robert Scott & Jay Gordon.

Having just finished....

"The Hickory Staff" - Part 1 of the Eldarn Sequence
by Robert Scott & Jay Gordon.

I can reccomend them both, and await part 3.

I can also reccomend "Orcs" By Stan Nicholls. It is an omnibus of his trilogy, "Bodyguard of Lightning", "Legion of Thunder", and "Warriors of the Tempest". (ISBN 0-575-01487-6) Published by Gollancz / Orion Books. This was enough to get me back into D&D again after several years away. (No I am not on comission, just being helpful for those of you who I know are pining for Orcs and Barbarians from H3).

I also enjoy:
Dean Koontz
Stephen King
James Herbert
James Hadley Chase
Dick Francis

As I type this, Administrative Law by Schwartz, Corrada, and Brown.

The last novel I read was Night Watch which was entertaining.

I just lost a whole message re: Terry Pratchett and how good he is. Rather than retype it, just let me say that if you like humorous but meaningful Fantasy, read him.

I'm currently reading _Valley of the Soul_ by Tamara Siler Jones. This is the third in her Mystery/Fantasy series. This is *NOT* humorous fantasy, but is excellent work.

Recently finished - _Very Bad Deaths_ by Spider Robinson. Different from his normal punny books.
_Death Match_ by Lincoln Child, one half of the duo that brought us _Relic_ and so many other thrillers.
_We Few_, the fourth in a series by David Weber and John Ringo. Militaristic SF. It is not necessary to have read the previous books to follow what is going on.
_Infernal_, the latest in the Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson.
_The Wizard of London_ by Mercedes Lackey, continuing that series.

That pretty much covers the last two weeks.

I finishing up the RE Feist series (again), but on the lookout for something new, so keep throwing things out there, prefer something where the authors actually finished the series for a change thou

Have you tried any of his Juveniles? He has the "Johnny" series (3 books in that one), _The Amazing Maurice and his Amazing Rodents_, _Wee Free Men_ and _A Hat Full of Sky_, and of course his children's book, _Where is my Cow_, which tells about the book Sam Vimes reads to Young Sam. Artwork is fantastic. I bought 3 copies - 1 for myself, and 2 for my grandchildren when my children finally get around to having them. One for each set.

A book on northern mythology and an English grammar.

I never really had a 'big picture' of scandinavian mythology, only bits and pieces I picked up from various games or from reading I did on my own on specific subjects. Also, this book I'm reading is in Romanian, and it's really interesting to see how some of the concepts I only heard of in English are translated into Romanian.
