              I like Hobb's books.

              I'm in a lull right now, but expect to finish off the Aubrey/Maturin series soon. I've read through The Far Side of the World.

                I'm waiting for the third of Malory's Obsedian Trilogy. I generally don't like her, but I am enjoying this series.

                  There are a number of books that I could open back up and start on again, but it would probably be a lie to say that I was actually reading anything right now.

                    I'm 33 pages into 'Naked Lunch' by Wm S. Burroughs and I have absolutely no idea what the narrarator is talking about or what is going on. Drugs and sex are involved somehow, but I really cant see any kind of plot beginning to congeal..

                      My favorite part so far is when the American fleet (consisting of two armed merchantmen, two brigs and a sloop) first sets sail to do battle with the world's most powerful navy...and promptly gets stuck in the ice.
                      JPJ is awesome. I love how he kept getting fired and moving from navy to navy. He's also an amazing bassist, but that's a different JPJ ; )

                        I was reading The World is Flat but since my move I can't find the darn book.

                        So I'm re-reading 1984, then plan on reading Way of the Superior Man.

                                Colleen McCullough Masters of Rome series. It's really good and really long. I finished the first three books and i'm taking a break before doing the last three.
