Re: What are you reading?
If you like that perhaps you would like some of Simon R Green's books about The Nightside.
After that you might like the Deathstalker series or the Hawke and Fisher set..
Mind you have to like gore and horror to appreciate them... 
Not the Stephen Kings.You two post faster than I can type.

im all for epic books etc, but to be honest i think mr king got verbal diarrhoea a bit. also, all the made up words and switching between "thee, thou and thy" and modern day languages just frazzles the old circuits.... *mumble chunter*

Re: What are you reading?
I've just read a book called "Always A Marine" by Steven Preece. It was a sequal to another book called "Amongst The Marines." Personally I wouldn't have chosen his first one by the book cover. But you need to step inside these stories to understand them. The first book was violent, disgusting, exteremly funny and yet at times quite sad. The sequal was a different approach and the emotion captured in it was immense. I didn't just read it, I actually felt it.

Re: What are you reading?
Currently reading 'The Stainless Angel' by Elizabeth Palmer .
The blurb says 'Writing with wit, humour and compassion, Elizabeth Palmer is a welcome addition to the ranks of English storytellers like Mary Wesley and Joanna Trollope' but I assume this is a quote from her agent; it's rubbish

Re: What are you reading?
Just read 'Touching Earth' by Rani Manicka. It was really good and beautifully written, although very dark in places.

Re: What are you reading?
The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolf.
An enormous tome but very readable and flows along nicely, apart from the authors propensity to end a section of the hero's journey somewhat abruptly and launch into the next stage without any intervening narrative.
An otherwise linear tale (so far) of a youth's trip to a new land, his abrupt growth and all the adventures he has along the way.

Re: What are you reading?
To see what all the fuss was about, I'm currently reading The Da Vinci Code.
Top read so far,

Love All The People. Letters, Lyrics, Routines - Bill Hicks.
Genius. Just so right and sadly missed.
Going Postal - Terry Prachett
Pratchett's skill at using the fantasy world to satire the real world remains undiminished. Very funny and I now can't look at pins without smiling.

Just be sure to take what he calls 'facts' with more than a pinch of salt....!
Just finished Double Eagle by James Twining, a very Dan Brown-esque read. Pretty good too
