Re: what are you reading?
After Ivy guidance, I'm currently savouring (a few pages at the time) Until I find you by John Irving.
And I've jsut received The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett, can't resit to it.
Still haven't read HP6 yet, must remember to do so...

Re: what are you reading?
Finished the Fforde but instead of going on to Eldest or Straken I'm going straight into something silly, Carpe Demon, Confessions of a Demon-hunting housewife.
silly chicklit - I need it at the moment.

Re: what are you reading?
I have a complaint : Terry Pratchett books are too easy to ready and too well written. I buy books in English because I'm supposed to read them slower than in my native tongue. as a result, I've spent half of the night reading the Fifth Elephant and now have nothing to read anymore in transportations.

Re: what are you reading?
I'm now well into the third in the Kellerman series, Milk and Honey. On the other hand, I haven't been able to get into Magic Street. Not sure why, exactly. I'll give it another try, but if it doesn't take this time, I think I'll probably give it up. Maybe it's just my mood, which hasn't been that great lately. Not sure why that is, either. Extended PMS?

Re: what are you reading?
Finally finished Until I find you and I have to say I was a bit disappointed by it. Some scenes are quite disturbing (even by John Irving standard) and the end is not neatly done, the last quarter is made of several trials to close the book not really satisfying.
Regarding other Irving novels, it's an average book. Regarding current production novels, it's a good read : witty scene, stilish writing and interesting plot. And, all in all, it worth every dollars spent in it.
Now, I'll start Tailchaser's Song for subway travels and The Historian at home.
