Currently reading book 2 (or book 8 of 9) in the 3rd trilogy of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen R. Donaldson. Epic fantasy stuff that's taken some interesting turns in this recent installment. Looking forward to more and should probably grab book 3 before I head out of town next weekend.
Also reading miscellaneous spiritual/academic stuff by the likes of Dion Fortune, Donald Kraig, Israel Regardie and a lesser-known favourite, Ellen Cannon Reed.

I just finished reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It was absurd and it was enormous (479,198 words) but it was a fun read.

Apparently, the (unfinished) novel he was working on at the time he killed himself is going to be released this year.

0.o How did I not hear about that?? Apparently (according to the Wiki gods) they're making a movie too:
As of October 21, 2010, a film adaptation of the book is being produced under director Don Coscarelli, and will be starring several newcomer actors as well as Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown."

I hope it won't be made into a movie. I can't see any good coming out of it.

Drop what you're doing & read it now! It wasn't funny like The Dirt. It was heart wrenching. A very quick, easy read, but it definitely conveys all the paranoia, hollowness, illness, & literal highs & lows Nikki experienced during that year. I loved it.

P.S. Haven't read any myself. Too much patience required.

Currently I'm into the Unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise. Still trying to decide what else to bring on vacation with me, I have a stack of books in my "on deck" pile, including: bios on Miles Davis, Prince, and Frank Sinatra. Autobiographies from Sydney Sheldon and Jerry Lewis (about his time with Dean Martin). Anne Rice's 'Christ the Lord', 'The Road' by Cormack McCarthy, "Dog Years" by Gunter Grass, ugh- too many. I gotta start reading books instead of just buying them.

Yeahhhhh, I got through like book 6 of that series... and then Jordan up and died, so I quit reading haha. I've heard the guy who finished the series for him did a good job though. The thing that really made me quit reading Jordan though was how he feels the need to write every book so that someone who hasn't read the books in the beginning of the series will know everything that's going on; i.e. his books are wayyyy too redundant. If you get bored with Jordan, switch to GRRM or Terry Goodkind

Are there 3 trilogies with him?
I only have 2.
Unless they've done something with the Swedish versioons and compiled them into 6 books instead?
Good stuff anyhow.

Well there you go, then I have something new to try and get my hands on :)
Thanks :)
I've read the "Mordant" books too from him, sort of the same style with our world and alternate worlds, anti heroes and such.
Edit:
The sci-fi book store in Sweden has the "first 3" books of the last chronicles, they state it looks to be 4 books.

Nope, never seen them around, but sounds like I should check that out too :)
