    I just finished reading March to the Stars by Weber and Ringo, it wasn't a classic by any means but it was a nice fun and fast read.

    I might have enjoyed it more if I had actually read the first two books in the series but I picked it up because it was the only interesting looking English language book that I could find at the Copenhagen airport. Thankfully, the book was written so that you didn't really need to have read the first two books to understand what was going on.

    Second Trilogy of Thomas Covanent, still a very good story.

    The books called "The Wounded Land", I still have "The one Tree" and "White Gold Wielder" to go.

    "Falling Free" by Lois Bujold. It's about some mutated humans who have four arms instead of 2 arms and 2 legs, which makes them better able to operate in zero-gravity.

    Falling Free was o.k. but I really don't think that it compares favourably to most of Bujold's other novels.

    I am just starting Wind Rider's Oath by David Weber.

    "Chasm City" by Alastair Reynolds. It's set in the same universe as his trilogy that begins with "Revelation Space", but is not a part of it.

    Blood Of The Dragon by C. L Werner. It is set in the warhammer world, which is a quite nice change compared to the worlds of dragonlance and forgotten realms.
