    Last week I read Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion all by Dan Simmons. Absolutely fantastic, all of them. Although I have to admit that a lot of the science stuff went right over my head ;) :ugeek: Despite that, it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story in any way whatsoever :)

    Currently reading The Hollow Man also by Dan Simmons.

    The Well at World's End. other than being old english its a pretty good book. modern fantasy just seems so cliche to me. the game of thrones stuff is great but everything else i feel disappointed with.

    I just started Game of Thrones. It's fun, but how many more do I have to read...

    Half Broke Horses. By Jeanette Walls. Im enjoying it. People said it wasnt as good as Glass Castle but I think its a good read. Very entertaining.

    I got this and read it a few months ago. I thought it was ok too - not much new except a few details etc.
    i got an updated version that was up to this year - but after 98, the next 13 years of PJ's career are summed up in like 2 chapters? Really poor IMO, especially since it was meant to be a "Specially Updated for PJ's 20th Anniversary"

    and LOTS of editing errors - misquotes and stuff.

    but because I love PJ, I found it interesting :lol:

    Just finished Unless by Carol Shields - need to get more of her stuff, have read some short stories and Unless blew me away. She's great, writes so beautifully and fantastically.
    Took me over 3 months to read the book though - stopping and starting because of exams and bs like that. no time for reading.

    Started reading The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai - starts off stunningly, his description and characterisation is wonderful and I'm only up to chapter 3
