I'm 3/4 way through The Passage, it's definately strange but I'm really gripped by it.

I think its both actually - its one of those timeless ones that you can always re-read and see from a different angle.

In the last couple of weeks, I've read
  • Kathy Reichs - "Death du Jour"
  • Robin Hobb's "Assassin's Apprentice"
  • Bryce Courtenay's "Persimmon Tree"
  • Bryce Courtenay's "Four Fires"

I'm now part way through Robin Hobb's "Royal Assassin" and then I'm out of books again - d'oh! :D
