I just read Skipping Towards Gomorrah, and now I'm reading a stack of very silly zines. One was about Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins being in love, and another was about Wolverine doing a bunch of stupid stuff, and another was about a girl who was raised by wolves. One was about monkeynauts.

I keep trying to read the newspaper but my brain is half-broken and wandery today.

The Wrarh of Angels by John Connolly.

If you like thrillers with a twist he is an outstanding author with a very interesting by line. Very well written with excellent scene setting.

The Legacy of Shanara. Its a compilation of the whole series.

Pippa

Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell.

A bit more of a melodrama compared to his usual swash buckling fare.

I have a pile of books to get through including Operation Mincemeat by Ben McIntyre (the use of a dead body to fool the Nazis as to the location of the D-Day landings) and Bill Bryson's Made in America about the development of American English).

For my post grad I am currently stumbling through The Great Shark Hunt by Hunter S Thompson.

"50 shades of Grey" by EL James

Kind of intriguing in style... the latest "in item" here in SA.

EDIT:
OMG... complete and utter crap, like written by some love-sick teenagers. The most pathetic book I can recall ever.
9 1/2 weeks PLUS, but lacking finesse and anything one might call -literature-.
An insult to one's intellect...

Waste of time and money  >:(

I liked Fingersmith - very twisty.

I am reading 'The Midwife', a collection of eighteenth century magazines written by Christopher Smart before he went mad under the pseudonym of Mary Midnight.

I have also just come back from a talk by Phillip Pullman about his new book which retells 50 of Grimm's Fairy Tales.
