"The Infernal City" by Greg Keyes. [/shame]

(A lot of people don't like the book, and I'm not a huge fan of the writing style, but I wanted to read it and give it unbiased attention...and I wanted something fluffy.)

Stargate: Atlantis novel Homecoming. Pretty good so far, and a nice change from the typically stuffy Next Gen Trek novel I just finished.

Crossroads of Twilight and I have to agree with all the negative reviews about this book of WoT: NOTHING HAPPENS! I can't wait to get to the last page where the only important thing will happen!

Yep, Wheel of Time is a complete waste of time, in my opinion...

The Catcher in the Rye is what Im reading.

No, the series is great, but book 10 is very disappointing!

And Catcher in the Rye is an excellent read.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

(Leroybrown might find it interesting; come to think of it, anyone might find it interesting, as it has to do not only with Russian culture

)

I'm currently reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I've always been a bigger fan of literature from foreign cultures than I am for dead white men, so it's nice to read a novel like this every now and again.

At last, Crossroads of Twilight is finished! Now that I have Knife of Dreams the plot can finally move forward.

A German series known as Inkheart.I am reading the translated American version. An interesting series is a good way of putting it. But not a bad classic fairy tale in my opinion.

Two years ago I would have agreed with you. But after I layed my eyes on Gardens of the Moon, my whole perspective on what a good fantasy novel was changed.

Finished Catcher, now Im reading Lord of Flies. Im into the classics lately...

Grats on getting past WH and CoT. KoD is actually decent, as are the successive books. I'm going for a reread right now, only on book 2 right now, but I'm not sure I'll finish since I dunno I'll care enough to read the muddled middle.

The Eye of the World, book one in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

Not too bad so far, the action is pretty awesome, the characters are likable, dialogue is convincing. Still trying to get a feel for the world though.
