    Read Bored of the Rings. Quite a silly book, but if you want a silly read, then this is pretty good.

    Just finished... something... by Jonathan Kellerman. The Conspiracy Club? Something like that, can't honestly remember the name of the book.
    Just a guilty pleasure, don't really have to pay too much attention read. I usually like Kellerman's work, but this wasn't an Alex Delaware novel, so I wasn't as into it as I usually am. Still started and finished it in an evening, though.

    I've been reading Fight Club (finally) for the first time after watching the movie howevermany times. It's a really good book, and I love some of the scenes in it that weren't taken from the book for the movie. The guy who writes it, Chuck Palahniuk is a really good writer. I read a little of one of his other books, Survivor, recently, and that's a good read as well.

    Just started reading Kushiel's Scion by Jacqueline Carey.
    I loved the Phedré trilogy oh so much (well, maybe not Kushiel's Chosen, but definitely Dart and Avatar), and was surprised when I found out she'd published another trilogy in the same world, but starring a different character. I've only skimmed over a couple of pages so far -- I like to do my reading in the evening. But I'm hopeful for a good read.

    I finished reading Fight Club and now I'm reading Artemis Fowl. I've read it before and it's a good book, but of course it's geared more towards children than anything else, so it's quite a bit of a mindset change going from a book like Fight Club to one like Artemis Fowl. I think this is the only book I've read in the Artemis Fowl series, though, and there are like 6 books out in the series, so I need to read the rest of them sometime if I get the chance.

    Finished Kushiel's Scion this morning. Interesting book, but not as... involving, I suppose the word is... as the original trilogy. The first trilogy was filled with intrigue, plot twists and an amazing protagonist who, although present in the second trilogy (she is the foster-mother of the main character), she doesn't play much of a role. This is more of a... coming of age, dealing with past demons, finding oneself in a huge world and living up to responsibilities kind of book, rather than an "oh my God what is going to happen next I can't wait to read the next chapter" book, like Kushiel's Avatar felt.

    I just picked up Kushiel's Justice, the second book in this trilogy (fifth in the series), which starts up right after the last one. With how the last book ended, with a lot of unanswered questions and a main story component (I felt, anyways) largely ignored through the majority of the novel, I'm hoping that this book deals less with the "coming of age" story, and more with the intrigue. Jacqueline Carey writes some amazing, twisted stories, and I would like to see more of that come out.

    I have high hopes, I know.

    Mazes and Monsters by Rona Jaffe. My Mother was always trying to get me to watch the movie of the same name, which is one of Tom Hank's first roles. I'm enjoying the book and it's rather dark appraisal of role playing games. Personally I think that any object or idea can lead to an unhealthy psychological delusion, but it's funny to see D&D put in such a stark light.
