Finished ADWD a week ago, my thoughts are in the ASOIAF thread. I'm now reading De rivier van de tijd (The River of Time) by John Vermeulen, a historical novel about Nostradamus. It has spent quite some time on my to-read pile since I found it among the bargains, and I have to say: the past few years, I have unearthed quite some gems from the bargain section (Rashomon, The Three Musketeers, Dead Witch Walking, Dreamsongs and last but not least: Neuropath), but this is not one of them. It's rather blandly written in fact. Plus, it's a straight-up historical novel suggesting Nostramus' powers of prophecy were real, and I don't believe in that stuff at all.
