Find a copy of Good Omens Rictor, I garuntee you won't regret it. I've read that book more than any other book I own.. probably at least five times in the last few years. If you have trouble getting hold of a copy, PM me your address and we can work something out as the bookstores local to me do have copies

And to answer your question, I'm about a third of the way through The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. It's incredibly funny. Definitely recommended.

Just started Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. I'm hoping it will be as good as Ender's Game.

It's different. I liked it as much as Ender's Game but the style is pretty different.

I've got all the Discworld books as audiobooks. Since there are so many, I intersperse them through all my other audiobooks, so I don't get overloaded.

I generally listen to audiobooks whilst driving, or whilst alone in a server closet troubleshooting problems. I cannot do this with Discworld, though. Pratchett has an habit of moving the story along in a nice, calm, entertaining manner and then *WHAM!* solid left turn into something so absurd that you have to stop what you're doing and concentrate very hard on not laughing your ass off. The example that comes to mind immediately is the immortal passage about an apprentice thief (or was it an assassin) looking over a bridge into the Ankh and reflecting that if he were to vomit, the water would actually be marginally cleaner.

Timothy Zahn: Heir to the Empire

And I will finish the whole trilogy; Dark Force Rising and the Last Command.

Good book

That was how I got into SW novels in the first place. Although the Wraith Squadron sub-series became my favorites later on.

Yub yub, Commander!

The Rogue Squadron books weren't too shabby either.

[color=66ff00]Yeah, the whole ewok joke was great.

Just finished "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan. Interesting to compare what's happening at the moment with what he predicted over a decade ago (it was published in 94, I assume the last book he wrote before he died).

At the moment I'm struggling through "The Rise of Fishes" which is kind of good, but, TBH, not really my cup of palaeontological tea. I like things with legs, what can I say

Los funerales de la Mama Grande by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Not especially psyched for AP Spanish Lit this year... not sure my Spanish is up to the task.

The background info for my campaign. (In prepartion for writing up more.)

Various RPG source material for inspiration for Act I of the Into the Night.

Thanks for the thought. I found it at another bookstore (same chain) and picked it up yesterday. About five pages in, and I think this one is definitely a keeper.
