    'Chosen Prey' seemingly from the 'prey' novels by Jhon Sandford. Nice little thriller so far, quite a psycho killer so far but we'll have to see what comes out of his freak mind at the end.

    Dark Moon has a fine ending (First David Gemmel book I read), and a good book throughout. I'm reading through Drenai tales Vol. 2, and thoroughly enjoying it :)

    er, actually i just finished the book and i tend to agree with Amaster's point of view about the ending :/ It is not the worst ending I've ever read but it is pretty bad. Well, the part about Karis anyways. yeesh. :/

    Invader - C.J. Cherryh

    Every bit as good as I remember Foreigner being. Probably the best depiction of a truly alien society I've encountered.

    I have started on Robin Hobb's Mad Ship. With all of my business travel I am not having anywhere near as much reading time as usual.

    So far I would have to say that I like the series about the same as the Farseer trilogy at the same point - i.e. it is good but not great.

    Almost finished 'Ship of Magic' by Robin Hobb. Even though not much happens in the book, I am finding it to be compelling reading. Hobb has an amazing way of getting inside the heads of her characters so that you really know what's driving them. Even a spoilt brat like Malta has some understandable reasons for her behaviour.

    The Fire Dragon by Katharine Kerr, no dragons yet. :p I'm looking forward to the release of The Gold Falcon, the final book of the entire Deverry series.

    It was actually a "graphic novel" (aka comic :D ) but since it was by Neil Gaiman I consider it a book :p I just finished "Marvel 1602", it was Gaiman's take on what the marvel universe wouldve been like in the 1600s. Awesome stuff, I recommend it.

    Have just started Autumn Bridge by Takashi Matsuoka. It's the sequel to Cloud of Sparrows and it's quickly shaping up to be even better.

    Garden of the Moon, the much beloved book here on SP. It's actually a re-read, which is a good thing since I'm enjoying it way more than before.

    I just finished 1602 myself. Much sweetness. I also finished the "Revenge of the Sith" novelization.

    Currently reading "Idoru" by William Gibson.

    Delicate Creatures - J. Michael Straczynski

    Take a typical fairy-tale. Now set it in a non-specific totalitarian nation strongly reminiscent of the Third Reich or USSR. Sit back and enjoy the resulting fireworks.
