    I just finished reading "The Day My Bum Went Psycho" by Andy Griffiths. It's quite a good series, and i've read all 3 books before. I think my favorite is the 3rd, but Ihave read the first book again.

    Finished Resident Evil: Zero Hour, so now I've begun reading Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy. This makes the-15th? 20th?- time I've read the Resident Evil series. I wish S.D Perry would hurry up and write another one .

    edit: Already finished it and the next one, Caliban Cove. Now reading the novelization of the second game.

    I just finished another... The rise of Darth Vader, takes place at the end of Episode 3 and just after. Not bad, the writing was ok, and the book itself wasn't much more than 300 pages. I recommend it for star wars nuts though. as it meshes nicely and sorta clears up a few issues from the last movie. Still I got it on a whim, non starwars or even casual fans should stay away.

    I also got into the elven nations trilogy, which I read when I was like 14 or 15, it's pretty neat. Just finished the first 2 books of the trilogy, once again not much more than 300 pages. The writing isn't exactly great, but hey who doesn't love D&D elves on Krynn??? It's about the split of the Sylvanesti elves into 2 countries (the other becoming the Qualinesti, of course ) However it's not greatly written, so most people won't like it. Most of the other Dragonlance books are much better....

    Gonna tackle book 3 next, and then I might read Queen of the Damned again by Anne Rice (in my opinion the best of the vampire chronicles)!!!!

    Finished rereading Thud! and Night Watch by Terry Pratchett, and I'll probably start City of Sorcery by Marion Zimmer Bradley next.

    Finished the Resident Evil series, so I decided to check out The Good Guy by Dean Koontz. I can't really say anything about it yet, seeing as how I've just finished the first chapter, but it seems like it'll be an interesting book.

    Reading some of the Unknown Armies short stories.

    I'm trying my hand at writing some urban magic stuff, and that whole universe is a goldmine of concepts to bounce off.

    Just finished The Good Guy, which was a pretty good book. Currently reading Odd Thomas (first book of the Odd trilogy), and I must say, I like it. I read 200 pages before I realized it, and even now, I'm tempted to try and finish it before I go to sleep (5:00 AM here, so the temptation will probably have to be suppressed).


    edit: Finished Odd Thomas, and now reading the second part, Forever Odd. Starts off quicker than the first (only by a few pages, the first started off fairly quickly as well), and seems to stay true to the first book.

    edit2: Heh... at this time I've finished Forever Odd, and am now reading the last part of the series (I believe), Brother Odd. Doesn't seem to jump start as quickly as the first 2 books, but it is good nonetheless.
