I read the first three Xanth books from Piers Anthony this week.

[slum_goddess]

we just got the Ghormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake from amazon; i'll be starting it this afternoon. :)

[Mister Spong]

About a third of the way into "The Black Angel" by John Connolly. If you've not read this guy before, then go out and pick one of his efforts up.... but be warned, you need to start from his first ("Every Dead Thing") as a lot of things won't make sense if you don't.

Oh, and they aren't for people of a nervous disposition either.....

Timequake - Kurt Vonnegut

It is very autobiographical... it really shows that KV was not expecting to live so long. He is retrospective and talks about his brother's death. It isn't the best Vonnegut, but it is still worth reading.

[Wolfie]

"The Coming Plague" by Laurie Garrett.

[bmc]

"2010: Odyssey Two" by Arthur C Clarke.

although it is great so far, i doubt it can surpass the masterpiece that is "2001"

[MrBag]

Just about to start :Christopher Moore.... Lamb

[Mister Spong]

I'm about a third of the way through "40 Words for Sorrow" by Giles Blunt. He wrote a novel back in 1989 but this is really his first proper effort having spent the last few years writing scripts for among other things Law and Order.

Anyway... if you're a thriller fan then buy this book. It is brilliant. It's possibly the best book I've read in 2 or 3 years.

the da vinci code, currently ...

:yup:

Da Vinci trial pits history against art

Millionaire author is expected in London for plagiarism case

Nothing less than the future of Western literature is at stake in the High Court tomorrow. Or so the publisher of The Da Vinci Code, the money-spinning blockbuster by Dan Brown, is expected to argue in a ground-breaking trial.

Brown, whose tale of clerical conspiracy and murder has become the bestselling hardback adult novel of all time, is accused of plundering his plot from a non-fiction work called The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

This doesn't surprise me. I was interested at one time in making a movie of the former. The Da Vinci Code is a rip off
