Started The Last Illusion by Rhys Bowen yesterday. Probably finish today--I always enjoy this Molly Murphy series.

Dog Blood by David Moody.
I just bought Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King today. That will be my next great read. ^.^

Mace1700: nice, I get the willies when I read that book. I've only read it twice because I get too freaked out. Ironically, I'm re-reading "The Stand" right now.

"A clockwork orange" by Anthony Burgess for the second time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little vulgarity in their reading.

"Will" by Christopher Rush. It's a fictional autobiography of William Shakespeare, and it's very good!

"A Clockwork Orange" is another classic-type novel that I've never read although I mean to in the future.

Alexxschneider: I'm also reading a fictionalized biography of William Shakespeare. It's called My Name is Will by Jess Winfield (one of the founding members of the Reduced Shakespeare Company). It's very excellent (even if it is a little too graphic at times).

David Mitchell's 'The Thousands Autumns of Jacob de Zoet'. I've just started it so a bit early to say much - though the opening description of an excruciating childbirth reminded me of the description of Samuel Pepys having kidney stones removed, which is in Claire Tomalin's biography of him, 'The Unequalled Self'. Oooh! A friend introduced me to Mitchell's writing and I read 'Cloud Atlas'a few months back, which I really enjoyed - so hopefully this will be as good.

I have just finished reading 'The Fortunes Of Richard Mahony'. It comprises a trilogy of novels written by Henry Handel Richardson and is widely considered a classic in Australian literature. Whilst I did enjoy the story very much, I really couldn't find any likeable qualities in any of the major characters nor could I sympathise with them as a fortune was made and lost through the years.
I have now begun reading 'Wanting' by another Australian author, Richard Flanagan.

Just finished Di Morrissey's The Plantation which was light reading, but quite interesting, and a couple of pages into another Australian novel called "Indelible Ink"... can't remember the asuthor and too lazy to walk to the next room to check.

Just got done with "Full Dark, No Stars" & "Blockade Billy" both written by Stephen King. I'm going to start reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" written by Khaled Hosseini. I've already read his other book called "The Kite Runner" which I thought was a pretty good story. Hopefully this book will also be a good one.

Finished book ten in the Wheel of Time and I will start on the next one when I get back home. Now, I'm re-reading "The Masterharper of Pern" by Anne MacCaffrey.

I love MacCaffrey's Pern books. Haven't read one in ages. Thanks for the reminder!

Going back through some Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind (although I'm missing one and I don't know where it is).

I am currently reading "Not Your Ordinary Doctor" by Dr James Leavesley.
Dr Leavesley is one of Australia's foremost medical historians and he has been the President of the Western Australian Medical Museum since 1990. Over the years he has appeared on ABC radio as the talk-back doctor on 6WF, and as a regular guest on "The Science Show" and "Ockham’s Razor".
"Not Your Ordinary Doctor" is his eleventh book and covers 50-60 doctors who have become famous (or infamous) in fields other than medicine; for example, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was a doctor but found fame as the author of the Sherlock Holmes books.
Dr leavesley's books are very entertaining and full of trivia. The fact that I get a mention in the Acknowledgements section of this book (for having provided him with some material for his research) has no bearing on my recommendation (LOL).

MotherGoose, that's funny. It was like you were writing a book review and then everything became much clearer when I read the last sentence! :)
I've been re-reading Jane Eyre. I have so many books to read but I can't help but read some repeatedly.
