Elizabeth:The Struggle for the Throne by David Starkey
Currently enjoying The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One. The first book on Sci-Fi I've seriously read, it's been a good intro to the famed genre. With stories from luminaries like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, one couldn't get a better initiation into Old School out of this world yarns. Though not as exhilarating and as compelling as Pulp and the Classics, it converted me to the genre and I look forward to purchasing more books of it's kind.
I just starting Interesting Times (3rd Rincewind, i think) and although I miss Twoflower, it's good so far (page 50).
Anyway know about the film airing on Sky One Easter Day? (Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic?)

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Patrick O'Brian's excellent Aubrey-Maturin series. I got the complete series for my birthday in a beautiful boxed set and I can't stop reading, they're just too awesome. I'm currently about halfway in "Blue at the Mizzen" and I'm already feeling regret that I'm nearing the end of this 6000-odd page masterpiece.
Also on my nightstand are:
Luc Huyse, "Over Politiek", an analysis of Belgian politics since 1945.
Raymond Van Uytven, "Geschiedenis van de dorst" (History of thirst), describing the drinking habits in the Low Countries throughout history.
And finally: Tom Clayton & Phil Craig, "The End of the Beginning", for when I'm in the mood for something light and exciting.
