    I am reading Candle Magic, by Phillip Cooper. It is a good book, but it really isn't a book it is more of a spell book, but I really wouldn't call it that it teaches you how to do spells, not so much as gives you spells. Thats what I am reading at the moment.

    But seriously, I'm about to start re-reading The Black Gryphon, by Mercedes Lackey. An excellent novel.

    "Stranger In A Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein - it's a brilliant book, one of my very favourites. Did you enjoy it?

    yes indeed... i loved it, but it's a "strange" book at first, i had the book and never read it before.... i just didn't find the book appealing till a few months ago when i didn't have nothing to do and i started reading it.... to be short, it's a great book.

    Currently, I'm STILL rereading the Dragonlance series... feels like I've been at it forever, but that's because I haven't had much time for reading over the past few months. ^^; I'm on the second book of the second trilogy (Dragonlance: Legends). It's really interesting to note my responses to the characters this time around, because it really shows me how my mindset has changed from way back in junior high, when I first got introduced to the series.

    I still like Raistlin best, though. ;p I guess I'll never grow out of appreciating his biting sarcasm and general bitterness. *snerk*

    My reading lately has mostly been for school, so I've been reading stuff on interior design, King Arthur and his knights, and print publishing. Oh, and we can't forget the books for my editing class. I've also been reading manuscripts for the sci-fi/fantasy magazine published by my school.

    When I have free time, I usually read manga because it's pretty fast to read when it's translated. I'm also slowly working my way through Loamhedge by Brian Jacques, East by Edith Pattou, and a reread of the Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold.

    As of right now all of my reading as been for school. Right now i am in the middle of Timeline by Michael Crichton. It is pretty good, especially if your into the middle ages and different time universes and things like that. But some really good books that i've read:

    1). Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (my #1 fav book)
    2). Sabriel by Garth Nix (my #2 fav book)

    Tehanu by Ursula K. LeGuin is surprisingly the only book I'm reading right now. Usually I read about five books at the same time.

    Read the Da Vinci Code in about a week, not as good as i thought it would be.

    I've gone back to reading Discworld again, and i've started reading Soul Music.
