    Currently reading Headhunters by John King.

    Its about the infamous firms of football hooligans in London but also comments quite frequently on the working classes of the city.

    I feel its not too dissimiar to Irvine Welsh's writing (Trainspotting etc.)

    I'm reading Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer.

    It's strange that this book has one really scary passage or maybe I was just too tired... I mean the train, that transports nuclear waste. The fate of engineer made me feel bad (he was locked alone in locomotive and radiation affected him all the time)

    Clancy was a life insurance salesman, living in Maryland. He used to hang out at the Naval Academy. His wife told him to quit wasting his time studying Naval tactics and technology, and sell more insurance. HfRO was his first book, published by the Naval Press. Good thing he didn't listen to his wife.

    "New Spring" by Robert Jordan, pretty good, but my mind keeps wandering away.

    Book #5 of Wheel of Time: Fires From Heaven.

    Not bad...just when it seems to be stalling out a bit, something very interesting seems to happen that spurs the plot along. Jordan has definitely built up some character interest, even if does drag in spots, action-wise.

    _The Americanizaton of Benjamin Franklin_ by Gordon S. Wood. Wood approachs Franklin from a different perspective: A royalist English citizen who became an American original. It is very well-written book, which also won the Pulitzer Prize (if that sort of thing matters).

    "I Have Landed" - the last book by Stephen Jay Gould. So far it is his usual fascinating perspective on a variety of topics all vaguely related to evolutionary biology.

    Pratchett's Equal Rites.

    Love it so far, especially the beginning where the wizard realizes Esk is a girl :D

    I have a huge pile of books awaiting me, namely, the Avatar series.

    I just finished the first book of the Return of the Archwizards, and what can I say? I liked it. I like the elf. :p
