I'm reading another Patrick O'Brien book. I had four from Sharlene for my birthday and now have the set. This is the twelfth in the Jack Aubrey series, 'The Letter of Marque' - I seem to have missed out on reading number eleven, so that's a priority when I get back to Cardiff. :)

I'm reading The Fifth Elephant for the first time... I think. I don't remember it so far anyway ;) :laugh:

I've also been reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, I was given the first 8 for my birthday and I've finished those :) They're more substantial than True Blood, but I still find the submissive human female style character slightly annoying, I'm still waiting for Sookie to tell some of the vampires/shifters to go away in less polite words than I can use here :p

Just finished Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. Interesting idea, but could have been better, and had a weak and unlikely subplot which was totally unnnecessary. Easy to read though o_O
 
I've just finished "The Blade Itself", by Joe Abercrombie. It's easily the best high fantasy novel I've read since first picking up LOTR twenty years ago. "Stunning" is the only word I can think of to describe it. I'm now waiting with baited breath for volumes two and three to arrive.

I'm starting "A Game of Thrones", by George R.R. Martin while I'm waiting. I know I'm behind the times on starting ASOIAF, but what the heck, better late than never. :laugh: I read The Last Colony by John Scalzi over the holidays as well, and loved it.

Sandy Claws was good to me with books this year. ;) I have a new copy of Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock to re-read (the last one fell to bits), a Colin Bateman I haven't read yet (Maid of the Mists) and a copy of "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome in the "to read" pile. My sister has read it already and insists I'm a kindred spirit to someone called "Harris"... o_O Looks like I'll be getting my head down over the next week or so. I can't wait. :laugh:

I've just finished reading Jane Eyre, so I'm up for a change and I'll start American Gods this evening. It's my first Neil Gaiman's book, if you don't count Good Omens (a four-hands-job, not just his own)
