All of his books do that, some better than the others.

My favorite is "Skin Tight"

My current read is "Enemies, Foreign and Domestic" by Matthew Bracken.

I'm already pissed off, and I'm within 30 pages of the beginning.

Just finished 'Ludmilla's Broken English' by DBC Pierre. Fantastic book, would recommend to anyone.

Just started 'Love and Other Near Death Experiences' and so far it's as funny as I imagined it would be

Not reading so much as looking at Flight volumes one, two, and three. They're really beautiful.

The Assassins' Gate, by George Packer. A disturbing look at the leadup to the Iraq war. Recommended to me by my dad and brother.

Rereading Terry Pratchett's Jingo. Am also reading a book called Melodies by some German guy whose name I've temporarily forgotten. It's about an alchemist in renaissance Italy and how, while trying to create the elixir of life and all that, he discovers something cool with music.

After that, I have Titan by Ben Bova waiting.

Ibby · 07-08-2006, 05:31 AM

I have read every Pratchett book there is, as far as I know. The man is a genious.

The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell
I'm about halfway through this right now. The only other Arthur I've read is Once and Future King which is on my short list of favorites. This book takes a different tack painting a more realistic version of the legend. It creates a very real Briton/Saxon conflict and makes Arthur a real man with vision. I'm not going to go into it further because you should read it. very good stuff
