Magician, by Raymond Feist. It's not as good as it was made out to be.

I'm reading a book on character development by Orson Scott Card, and when I'm finished I've got some philosophy books to read (a few of Robert Nozick's books and some others).

Catcher in the Rye! I've never read it before, so it's all very exciting.  So far, so good. Then I plan on reading The Pianist which I have out from the library. I'm actually avoiding Moll Flanders, a book I have to read for my English paper/tutorial, I really don't like it and I hate forcing myself to read something I don't want to.

*sigh* I've been broke for so long that I'd forgotton how nice it was to hold a new book in your hands. So I've been rereading books I already have. At the moment I'm on the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds, and I got to buy the fourth book today (YAY!).

I'm reading Steinbeck's complete Non-fiction. It gives phenomenal insight into his life and his style. I'm also reading The Red Pony, but it's currently on hiatus...
I'm going to read Dante's Inferno sometime in the future, as I have a copy of it, and I just finished a book of miltary top ten lists that was quite interesting

Lol, I know just what you mean! In the last four days I read two Terry Pratchett books which I'd already read at least twice before. Still... good books are good no matter how many times you've read them before.

Raymond Fiest is making me feel soiled and unwashed. But I'm so close to the end!

Same here. I also read the Riftwar Legacy, which takes place between Prince of the Blood but after A Darkness at Sethanon. Currently finishing the last book in the Empire Trilogy. Nice seeing Pug/Milamber's rampage at the Imperial games through Tsurani eyes. I'm thinking of reading The Conclave of Shadows series, is it any good?

Hip-deep in Orson Scott Card's Xenocide.
This Ender series is pretty good, man.
