I'm starting the second book of C.S Forrester's Captain Horatio Hornblower trilogy, Ship of the Line. Exciting, well written high seas adventure that doesn't neglect character development. Hornblower is an incredibly interesting character, and his friends, crewmen and romantic interests are superbly drawn.

Barking! By Tom Holt.

I'd recommend him to anyone who's a Pratchett/Yahtzee fan - surreal sci-fi, but with a damned good story.

Right now, I'm reading The Secret History of Star Wars. For a 448-page e-book, it's a damned good read. cool.gif

I read the spoilers for the last Harry Potter online last night. Does that qualify as reading?

it's reading the internets!!!

I just started In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote.
Head Gunner for the Royal Sloop Crimson Steel, Queen of the Dead, Instigator of Chaos and Confusion, Knight of the Grand Recursive Order of the Lambda Calculus, and also The Non.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

NO NO NO Thats not fair.
I've had to work every
FREAKING day since the book came

out and in the 7 few hours i could spare to
read it i'm only on chapter 19.
Granted i am a slow-ish reader,

but its only because i like to get
lost in the Potter Universe.
For this I HATE YOU BOND! tongue.gif
