Re: What are you reading now?

My local Waterstones was not involved with the SFX give away so I was unable to get a copy. Mind you, I have enough books waiting to be read anyway, including Alastair Reynolds Terminal World, George Orwell 1984 and George Mackay Brown's A Calander Of Love. So Another book to add to the pending list is probably not a good thing.

I've recently read:
Peter V Brett's The Painted Man in terms of fiction.
Mindless Eating as a bit of non-fiction.

Currently reading Ivanhoe. It's great but it's been a long time since I've read a book and had to have a dictionary to hand at all times.

It's scary to see how much of the English language has gone out of common use.
