Just finished Good Omens a few weeks ago, at the recommendation of a friend. I quite enjoyed it... more than I thought I would. Great novel for fans of Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman.

Currently I'm re-reading the Age of Fire series by E.E Knight... in anticipation for Dragon Rule in December. Quite a good series for fans of dragons.

Last week my parents and sister went to England for my sister's interview at a boarding school (she got in:D)  and to Wales for a wedding.  I didn't want to go so I stayed at home with Mozart.  I'm quite glad I did...but to take up the units of time, I consumed alot of books.

A series of these books was Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Darkness, that features the characters of Torak, Renn and Wolf.  Anyway, I'm glad my sister recommended them to me...I didn't think they'd be any good..because my sister tends to favor books that have mindless plot or is written as a marysue (Twillight for example) but this series actually brought out morals such as loyalty etc something which most of children's-young adult books no longer hold.

I also re-read Lord of the Rings.  It's interesting that although you read every word of the text, for some reason you tend to find or refresh memory when you re read books thus discovering more.

Currently right now, I'm reading Roots.  It's interesting...

RAWR! Someone got to read Dune for school! On top of that, I lost my copy of Dune, so now I need to get my hands on one again.

On another note: Current book- Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik

Currently, I'm reading a book called "To grow through meetings", written by Swedish author Kay Pollack.

Great book, many wise words and excelent quotes.

Currently I am reading Eragon. I have had that book lying around for years but somehow didn't get around reading it so far. I haven't seen the movie so far either.

War and Peace is my current project. Thus far I don't think I've ever read a more pretentious work.

It's a pretty good book I'm not going to say much because I don't want to spoil it.
