Not a current, or even recent, read but worth a plug. Lord of Misrule by Christopher Lee.
This is his autobiography, and one of the coolest and wittiest books I've ever read. From incorrigable schoolboy to Saruman via Charm school and the RAF, all in a self-depracating style that does not say "Worship Me for I AM A MOVIE STAR!" This is a gorgeous read.

Probably reread the entire Malazan book of the Fallen series next.
'The bonehunters', which has just been released is book six of ten. (I have read some of the books three times myself)
It seems strange to me that the Steve Erkirson series is not very well known. I have found it one of the most in-dept, fascinating settings around at the moment. Forget your generic 'Wheel of Time' crap. This is dark fantasy covers many angles from many interesting races, a cool way of doing magic and an archaeological depth to the background.
If you are into fantasy... wait the is a larper forum .... ok give 'Gardens of the moon' a read. You dont even have to buy it, just hide in the bookstore and read!

| For some chewing gum for the mind while on the train I got Lasher by Anne Rice out of the library. Now that was an education. I can scarce describe my horror when I realised why the nice old lday stopped talking to me after her eyes fell over the page I was reading. Once I got to the bottom of the page I found a rather interesting and vivid description of a sort of rape in a bath that featured words such as succumbed and illicit and the likes.  She should give up the pretence of literature and just write purely explicit erotic paramormal bonk busters.

Nocturne (6/10/2006)
"Hard Contact" by Karen Traviss - A Star Wars novel from a Soldier's point of view. No whiney Jedi wannabe's, no one speaking in Yoda. It's a good book too.
Hella yeah tis a good book!
I love the Mandalorian references and little quotes at the start of chapters
Thank you for lending me it ^_^

V for Vendetta (Alan Moore and David Lloyd) I guess you all saw the movie and read the graphic years ago, so I needn't plug it here. But I'm about halfway through (slow going cos the print's a little small so I have to go for the reading glasses) but I'm finding it cool and disturbing. I really can't decide if there is any real difference between V and his victims.

| I've been reading Sieges of the Middle Ages. It's a book that takes a critical look at siege warfare with a focus on English battles starting with the Norman Conquest to the War of the Roses. It's been yummy brain food. I think my next read is going to be an academic work on the history and workings of the feudal system.

| I'm reading Legend by David Gemmell(had to really), The Gnole- Alan Aldridge (cos I just got it in hardback and it's an old favourite), Lavondys- good old Mythago cycle- the thread about Robin Hood made me pick them up again and The All Wales Child Protection Guidelines- how can anything so scary be so f***ing boring to read- but if I read it often enough it'll eventually stick. So all re-reads at the moment I really must visit Waterstones or Borders!!
