I just finished After the First Death by Robert Cormier. I really didn't like it that much because it seemed that some parts of the book were perverted and that got to me after a while. Plus, too many people died in it.

Miracles, by C. S. Lewis. I'm having trouble getting into it because the first chapter deals solely with what a naturalist is, what a supernaturalist is, and both group's thinking, but the rest of it promises to be great.

This is one busy thread. I'm reading The Glorious Cause 1763-1789 and I just finished the Unhandsome Prince and Heroics For Beginners by John Moore. Its nice to see humor in Fantasy. I do feel that Heroics for Beginners is the better of the two books.

The Faded Sun Trilogy by C.J. Cherryh - I like it so far, just finished book/part one. Very imaginative and developed alien races and cultures.

Right now I'm reading Carry On, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse, it's British dry witty humor. There was a tv series based on the Jeeves books called Jeeves and Wooster starring Hugh Laurie (Dr. House from House MD). I've just finished some manga and Dealing with Dragon (for the third time funny series). Sitting on my shelf is a John Constantine Hellblazer novel called Warlord, and I'm waiting for the latest in Tanya Huff's vampire series to go to paperback so I can afford it. Sadly this summer will also be a research summer so I'll be reading lots of criticism on the Pastoral tradition and Tolkien as that is my thesis topic.

Remonster when you're done, you'll want to go to the Chanur Saga. It contains the Pride of Chanur, Chanur's Venture, and the Kif Strike Back.
