    Oh god. This thing is like 550 pages of rules and descriptions and stuff.

    Screw that.

    How are you liking it?
    I've been a fan of Gaiman's since even before Sandman. I quite enjoyed the Anansi Boys audiobook (read by the BBC's Chef), and recently also enjoyed listening to Prachett's The Wee Free Men (sure easier than struggling through all that Scottish pronunciation).

    Good Omens is actually a pretty enjoyable read, for a collaborative effort, IMHO. I was expecting it to be some sort of The Screwtape Letters (C.S. Lewis) - meets - The Wish List (Eion Colfer), but thankfully, it resembled neither. Give it a go, it's a quick read!

    Star Wars:Legacy of the Force: Revelation

    and

    Anatham by Neal Stephenson.

    But i am reading the star wars book much faster because the other one is much to smart for me and requires my full attention.

    Dungeon Of Death (It's about how messed up wrestlers become)

    Planetary Volumes 1-3 (Picking these apart is so much fun)

    The Lost Diaries Of Adrian Mole (Ahhh, Britain)

    Scud The Disposable Assassin: The Whole Shebang (Mmm, Mid-90's)

    The Gum Thief (Coupland by-the-numbers)

    On The Edge (The autobiography of Richard Hammond)

    Yes, all of them, but not all at the same time.

    Wow... I need to get a life.

    Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier. I really enjoyed the original Sevenwaters trilogy, mostly because the first book was a inspired by the Six Swans fairy tale. This new one is channeling a romance novel a bit too much for my taste, but the story is still engaging.

    I'm conflicted about whether I'm gonna read Paul of Dune.

    I was so disappointed with Sandworms of Dune that I'm reluctant to get back aboard the Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson train. But Paul of Dune takes place in a period of the Dune timeline that's still intriguing to me, so I'll probably go for it.
    I know what you mean. I was waiting for Sandworms to come out in paperback before I bought it, but ended up getting it as a free audiobook off of Audible. I'm now very glad that I didn't spend any actual money on it. I usually don't hate on books, or anything else for that matter, but it was just so bad.

    Moving on, I'm reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy right now. I've also been reading the Bourne Supremacy for at least a month now. I hit a slow part and put it down for a while, and I just haven't gotten around to picking it back up.

    Interview With the Vampire, Anne Rice. Enough (for now ) with the sparkly vegetarian vampires of Twilight, I need some Lestat and Louis!
