Re: What book are you reading these days?
I would recommend the Dark materials trilogy by Philip Pullman.
I am currently reading a Dilbert book. Cant recall which one but it is scary how accurate it is to real office life

This series is over-rated
Don't get me wrong it was enjoyable but I've read far better books than these.
Good examples:
The Belgariad & The Mallorean - David Eddings
Magician - Raymond. E. Feist
The Darkwar Saga - Raymond. E. Feist
The Rigante Series - David Gemmell

A good recommendation, I enjoyed reading those. I had low expectations though so was possibly easily pleased.
Currently, I've finally got around to reading 'The Idiot' by Dostoyevsky and it's very very good.

Re: What book are you reading these days?
I just finished Brother Odd by Dean Koontz
Extremely good.
An enjoyable moment was when Odd, in a Plow Mounted RV, with 6 Monks, while racing towards the convent to fortify it before it is attacked by 4 dimensional Constructs of Jointed Exoskeletoid Armor, Saw outside his window Elvis's ghost cavorting with Boo the dog down the slopes of a snow covered hill, arms outstretched and thouroughly enjoying the falling snow as he catches the flakes upon his upturned face.

Definitely. Connavar and Bane were fantastic characters.
His writing will be sorely missed, I always looked forward to his books coming out, and was really getting into the Troy series too...wonder if it will be finished now
