I'm re-reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. This is my third time reading it. Anyone who enjoys mythology will enjoy this book.

That does sound good Nobby. I love A Brief History of Time, so this sounds up my alley.

Trust me, if you dig science (and with your name I expect this is the case - LOL) and where we come from and what it's all about, this is the best book you will ever read - I loved it.
Moving onto 'Twinkie' next - each chapter is dedicated to one of the ingredients in a twinkie bar - fascinating stuff :-)

I'm currently destroying the Berserk manga volumes. Loved the anime a few years back and a friend of mine is lending me the manga. I'm just about done with volume 16! As for non-pictured reading, I'm slowing soaking up Brisingr. I must make it last. Who knows when the next and final book of that series will be on the shelves.

Half done with American Gods and starting 'Son of a Witch', the sequal to 'Wicked'. Wicked was such an amazing book, Gregory Maguire's spin on classic stories are really good. If you like the Wizard of Oz than you should read it.

For the nerd inside us all, I just finished "The un-official Lego Builders Guide". About 9 chapters into "Virtual Lego" which is all about LDraw. Check em out if you like playing with Lego bricks.

Started reading Charlaine Harris' "Dead Until Dark" This series is the inspiration for HBO's new show True Blood. So far It's kind of like the Anita Blake books w/out the porn. Which is why I stopped reading the Anita Blake books.
