Golden Fool. Again Wink
Finished reading the second book in Anno Dracula, called "Bloody red baron". Just as excellent as the first one, but these beings cannot seem to get hold of the third book.
Anno Dracula has been reprinted very recently, so maybe the sequels will follow soon.
I'm in the process of rereading The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and trying to predict what will happen in the third book. Rothfuss write faster darn you

This is also on my to read list. I loved Name Of The Wind and now I'm patiently (no make that impatiently) waiting for the price of this second book to go down...hardcovers are so expensive!

Just finished Forest Mage. I think I'll read a couple of Conan stories before getting into Renegade's Magic, which is the only Robin Hobb novel that I haven't read yet.

EDIT: I'm now reading:

RENEGADE'S MAGIC
^ Oh! I've just noticed that little 'edit' that you slipped in there, AR. On to RM...good stuff! Smiling

I'm mid-way through Andy McDermott's The Secret of Excalibur, after having just completed The Hunt for Atlantis and The Tomb of Hercules. While I am going to continue reading, and read the remainder of his books as well, AND I am enjoying the 'subjects' of the books eg Excalibur etc, I'm not overly enjoying the books themselves. The writing is too cinematic for me, like it's written with the idea that the books will all eventually end up as films or something or, at the very least, are trying too hard to compete with an action film-type script.

Not to mention that I can't stand the 'hero'...ugh!...there's just no word I can think of to describe him but, to give you an idea of my opinion of him, I think he has placed himself at the head of my 'most detestable character of all time' list!! Argh! Rant
These beings are a couple of hundred pages into "The Shelters of Stone" by Jean M. Auel.

Very good book/series. Its last book was released this year, after a 9-year wait from the one preceding it. (Yes, some are worse than GRRM)
