    Just started on a little series of H.G. Wells novels: The First Men in the Moon, The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man. Should keep me occupied for a while.

    Shadowbred by Paul S Kemp in the FR setting. Good stuff. I'm kinda irked now that I didn't pick up the Erevis Cale trilogy. He seems like an awesome character now whereas I only found him mediocre in Shadow's Witness.

    Got 'Silent Blade' (More Drizzt book! Yay!) from a friend, and finished in one night as usual. I just can not help but finish all Drizzt books in a single day. And this was great, if not spectecular too! Gotta love Artemis vs Drizzt theme, forever! :love: Too bad it gives the signals that, this was probably the last round in their vendetta. Sigh. Is it, is it, is it? Please say it is not so!

    @Faraaz Then try Robert Rankin, the Brentford trilogy would be a good place to starts.

    just finished Talion: Revenant. It was okay, not as great as I'd been led to believe. It should've been longer, some major stuff was grossly underdeveloped, it was like reading KotOR2 :/

    Also finished reading Son of Fletch. Hmph, very disappointing given the quality of the Fletch series that I've come to expect from the 4 excellent (HILARIOUS) Fletch books that I'd read previously. Still, this one had a couple (literally just 2) moments where I still laughed out loud.
