Yeah, I've been wanting to check out Eoin Colfer for a while now since he wrote that new Hitchhiker's Guide book.  Want to make sure I like him before he ruins my experience with the best book series in history.

I really rated 'And another thing...' it's perhaps not quite random enough but it is definately a worthy addition to the series.

Yup. I'm slowly but surely working my way through the Discworld series in order. Only read the first couple in each 'sequence', but I've been waiting to read Jingo for ages, as several people have told me it's great.

I'm still reading The Anatomy of Melancholy but I've gotten further along than the first time. I just don't have the time I had back in the winter to read. This damned book is fascinating, addicting, and makes me feel very, very ignorant.  I love it.

I've been doing this too, but I'm only up to Pyramids.  It's taking a long time.

Just finished Ark by Stephen Baxter, such a bleak book but very good.

Now I have choice between Larry Niven's Ringworld or Sunstorm by Arthur C Clark and Stephen Baxter.

Finished Artemis Fowl and If Chins Could Kill.

Have a stack of comics I'm tearing through also.  Will get to Virtual Mode by Piers Anthony soon, which although I've already read it, was a long time ago and I want to read the rest of the series finally so I want the first one fresh in my mind again.

I'm currently working my way through the whole series; I have all four Absolute editions.  I'm up to Brief Lives right now.  Sandman is my favorite comic book series ever.

I just bought that book not too long ago.  Saw it at the Goodwill for 25 cents (that place is a goldmine for cheap reading).  I haven't read it yet though.

I'm currently reading a Western, based upon the Dollars trilogy with Clint Eastwood.
It's in Swedish, but the title translates into The man with no name: 20 000 dollars - Dead or alive.
By, Joe Millard

I like to listen to the Dollars trilogy film scores by Ennio Morricone while reading it.
