Fiction: Arrow of God, by China Achebe.

Non-fiction: The Leper King and His Heirs, by Bernard Hamilton (for fiction research purposes--EXCELLENT read, though).

Meat - Joseph D'Lacey

A pretty sick book. Just finished it.

My copy of "The Hellbound Heart" just came in (it's a lot shorter than I expected) so I'm just about to start reading that ^.^

Dipping into a couple of Nick Hornby's books at the moment. In particular 'A long way down'. Just finished the tedious 'So he takes the Dog' by Jonathon Buckley.

I am fool for not reading Catch-22 yet. I wonder if I'm the only one.

Is that Stephen Fry, the same one that was in the BBC series Black Adder with Hugh Laurie, and more recently--V for Vendetta by the Wachowski Bros.? If so, I missed that he was a writer and I'm overjoyed. Any advice on which book to start with?

Speaking of Hugh Laurie: someone gave me a copy of his novel: The Gunseller, which I haven't had time to open yet. I'm wondering how that guy has time to do everything he does--all those degrees, rowing, a family, a tv series, a movie, a band, some humanitarian projects, looking so hawt, and somehow he wrote a book too. (I'm sure I missed some of his "hobbies".) Anyone read it?

Noticed something though, and its something I've been wanting to mention but it probably doesn't deserve its own thread.
Mostly in like...the last 5 books, I've noticed alot of typos. Like...big, bad ones. Like the wrong character saying the wrong thing O.o
Is this common when the author already has a ton of books published? Do editors tend to look over those things accidently - more easily? It was strange
Which DL authors' novels are you finding the typos in. I'll admit I'm a huge fan of the original arcs by Weiss and Hickman: Chronicles and Legends. Then there are some of the other authors/series I prefer--Dalamar the Dark by Nancy Varian Berberick is a fav, she is a friend of my sisters too so maybe I'm biased. The only problem I've had was with pagination--a book that was missing 200+ pages. I wonder if they just got cheap with the distributors? I had to reorder whatever the book was from 3 places before I got a copy that wasn't hosed.
