What's everyone reading these days? I'm still cleaning up my cache of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Working my way through the Earthsea novels and the Riverworld novels, and I just finished reading the Runelords first book by David Farland, which was not bad.
I also found this pretty old fantasy series through random chance by Jennifer Roberson, the Sword-Dancer saga, which is pretty entertaining, though standard fantasy fare for the '70s.
Other noteworthies are Robert Jordan's first postmortem addition to the Wheel of Time series, only partly written by him. The guy Jordan's wife chose to finish writing the series, Brandon Sanderson, who I've never read before, does a fair job of keeping the voice and the feel of the world and characters pretty consistent with what I remember.
Currently reading Tales of Watership Down by Richard Adams and King's newest book, Under the Dome, which is too big for its own good, but wildly entertaining and wholly engrossing.
I haven't finished the Foundation novels yet by Asimov, but I'm pretty close, and I've begun digging up some other Heinlein novels I've not read before, like Friday and To Sail Beyond the Sunset, and just recently finished The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, which was kind of a struggle to read because of the slavic/english dialect used throughout, but was also really good.
So what's out there, Pavilion?
