    Temple of the Winds of the Sword of Truth books, by Terry Goodkind, though I truly hate the lead character. He has that lut for practicality about him that drives me nuts. And I don't particularly like that all-powerful thing either... but, hey, the book isn't bad.

    Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles. It's the story of Arthur really, through the eyes of a monk named Derfel, who was once a captain of a warband that served under him. It is brilliant, one of his best work (having said that, I don't think I've read anything that's not some of his best work!)

    I'm reading Redwall, by Brian Jacques. When I started it I thought "What is this book? It sucks", but curiosity of what would happen next finally won me and now I almost finished it. It's a very nice book and worth reading it.

    The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King.
    I finished each book before the movie was out, and I'm going to be in time for part 3.
    Next one will be Lords and Ladies - Terry Pratchett or Crime School - Carol O'Connell

    The Duncton books by William Horwood again.

    I'm at a bit of a loss for new books at the moment - I wish George Martin, JV Jones and Kate Elliott would hurry up and finish their books. I'd even be happy with another Robert Jordan book I'm so desperate.

    Arabwel: Took me a while to get into Catch 22 too, but its now one of my favourites - keep at it.
