Pride and Prejudice. No, I'm not kidding. What are you, gay? Also, currently reading an Anglo-Saxon medical-magic book. I cast the nine lays of the Pagan Mystic Blast!

Just finished Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Angel's Game. Another book that'll stay with me. This chubby, friendly looking Spaniard is a dark, vastly intelligent and talented man.

Star Trek: Enterprise - The Good That Men Do I don't usually read that many Trek books but this is one of the exceptions because it so damn good. Corrects the utter [censored]iness of the finale and builds on it. Great Stuff

I'm reading 2666, a very large and very hyped novel by a Chilean fellow named Roberto BolaƱo. It's good, but a bit of a struggle to get your head round at times. Literary snap.

Enjoying it? Last book I read was Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt, which was about, well, Agincourt. It was pretty good, although his style left a little to be desired at times. Next up is...something. I got a big pile.

Something on Bede and Gildas written by my old History lecturer. I can't stop reading the thing in his voice.

Star Wars - Death Star by Michael Reaves & Steve Perry
Great read, interesting exploration of the intricacies of the Death Star from the perspective of those who helped build/run it. You ever wondered how the superlaser operators felt about blowing up Alderaan? I didn't until I read this.

I've been reading the New Jedi Order Star Wars books. I'm 11 and a bit books through the 19 book series, and recently bought the Dark Nest trilogy that takes place shortly afterwards!
Also, my wife bought me the 9 book Legacy of The Force series for my birthday.
These will keep me busy until Christmas!

Still reading through Lovecraft's work. Now up to The Shadow out of Time. You got up to Rats in the Walls yet? That is probably the most unnerving piece of written fiction I have ever had the privilege of reading.
