That, or the United States of Hysteria is the most appealing at the moment.
Already read the John Peel book and my fear of The Fall (fear of triggering an all consuming Urbanesque obsession) puts me off from even turning the first page.

A Life in Music is a great read. I still have'nt read 'Margrave Of The Marshes' yet.

Need to get round to getting the Peel Sessions book and A Life In Music, look quite good. My Peel obsession is something i have no problem with!

I just started The War of the Worlds...can't wait to get into it!

I just finished All the Pretty Horses, and I'm starting The Crossing. Cormac McCarthy is an amazing author.

I'm reading the Law Of Attraction

"The Ways of White Folks" by Langston Hughes. It's a collection of poems and short stories.

Ok, finished it, but can't say I was too impressed. It's easy enough to read and given it's length (640 pages) you get attached to the story and the characters, but I don't really see myself picking it up again. Plus, for a supposed gay novel (although that part of the story doesn't take up more than 10% of the novel), it failed to give me a single hard on and that's something even the ultra tedious The line of beauty managed to do...

Moving on the The tombs of Atuan - Le Guin

The second part of the Earthsea cycle...weee...

Do you like the atypical 'Quest' /morality driven tales Of Fantasy or are you into the more abstract metaphysical aspects of Fantasy fiction?

They're certainly fun, especially when they get all epic, entertaining stuff. Does anyone else have an extra page that redirects you to the previous pvge always show up in this thread?
