I'm reading Incartations of Immortality (currently on the 6th book - For love of Evil) by Piers Anthony.

It's not paticulally well written, or that inspirational, but I'm quite enjoying the way all the books inter-twine with each other.

After these I plan on re-reading House on Pooh Corner and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Then I'm going to read The Magnus by John Fowles. I've no idea what it's about but dad bought me it for x-mas and it's about time I got round to reading it.

I alternate between classics and fantasy novels. I just finished 1984 and then Animal Farm a month or so ago, and am currently reading the 4th in a 6-book series set in the Forgotten Realms (D&D) called the War of the Spider Queen.

I - Dissolution
II - Insurrection
III - Condemnation
IV - Extinction
V - Annihilation
VI - Resurrection

Eh? I thought it was one of those extremely comprehensible books, save for the few zen-like metaphores he uses now and again...

I just finished Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds. It was good, probably his best so far.

I just started The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It's supposed to be a little like The DaVinci Code, but with more substance. So far it's far better - I like the language much better, and the characters are miles ahead of Brown's.

I managed to get to the 5th book last night. She doesn't seem to be at war with anything but herself right now.
