Just finished Woman on the Edge of Time, which was very good. I love a book that ends with such uncertainty and such an abrupt turn of events.

I have just begun Tom Robbins' Another Roadside Attraction, which should be interesting.

I still have never read any of the Dark Tower books. I'll definitely have to remedy that at some point!

Trainspotting's football loving little brother. All spit and venom but it seems better than the film (which I saw first and liked).

I just got a friends book of poetry in the mail yesterday. Called Love-in-Idleness. If you're looking for some poetry, I'd suggest checking it out.

Reading two books on two brilliant madmen of the early 1900s:

Not sure what to make of it yet, too early. Though, Tom Robbins is possibly the best author of opening sentences.
