I just finished an interesting book called "reservation blues". About some indians starting a band. It shows the ignorance of the white man and some indian culture

Currently reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, about 100 pages in and enjoying it. Its quite similar to War and Peace, without the war I guess.

I take it you're talking about the Terry Pratchett books. It's humorous fantasy, similar to Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy) only with witches and wizards instead of the sci-fi. I was kinda put off by the covers but it's actually really fun...(:
