I've just started book 4 of the Dark Tower series. I'm loving it to bits.

The Elves of Cintra by Terry Brooks, because it didn't make it clear that it was part of this 20 book cycle when I read the first of the 'trilogy' in which this is the second. I also had no idea the third hasn't been written yet.

If you want to share your reading tastes with other Llamasofties, presumably
that's a yes or you wouldn't have posted in this thread, then check out this
thread all about the brilliant LibraryThing site.
http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=69624

LibraryThing is bit like an AudioScrobbler/Last.fm but for books. Obviously
there's no mind-reading spying-over-your-shoulder plugins, but if you've got
the patience to type a 10 or 13 digit number you can add a book to your
catalogue. Once you've done that you can easily tag, review, and rate them.

We've got 138 Llamsofties on Last.fm, and I know there's been a lot of
music discovered by people because of that. We could do something similar
with books.

To compliment Librarything with a local database you might like to look into this which can export your data in a form you can then import into Librarything.

I read most of Spider Robinson's The Callahan Touch while in hospital, but haven't finished it yet.

Today I started and finished reading I am Legend. Although at 160 pages that's not terribly impressive.

I haven't seen the movie but somehow I can't see it being very much like the book at all. Especially not the ending.

Tomorrow I'm hoping the postman will deliver my first Flashman book.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
George RR Martin fans will likely love this. The difference is that TBI has much more interesting and witty characters than TSoIaF books. Well, there is Tyrion and that Snow guy but that's it.

JA has written two books of that trilogy but I already hope that he takes it beyond that.

Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett. Only the second time that I've read it since it was first published some years ago.
