Of those books I'd say that Good Omens is my favourite with Amercian Gods right behind it. Neverwhere is right behind American Gods. I really liked Anansi Boys too, but I don't know if I'd want to read it again.

In case anyone else might be interested I found one through google called "Deus Ex - Icarus Effect". I'm about halfway through and it's a pretty good read so far, might be worth picking up if you're into expanded fiction or just a scifi/mystery/crime-drama book.

I'm reading this, it strikes me as too much like The Remains of the Day, although they are by the same author.

Am now reading The Help. Seems like I might be the last person ever to read it though...

I'm currently reading two books, Amazonia by James Rollins and God Is Dead by Ron Currie

I don't read much non-fiction, but lately I've been spending some time in my copy of the "1923 American Type Founders Specimen Book and Catalog".

I also have it in .pdf form, but there's nothing like a good old book printed with real ink from good old fashioned metal hand set type.

[edit]......I meant fiction. I don't read much fiction....unless it's a brief text....It's very late.

It's been good so far. The young versions of Vimes, Vetinari, Dibbler and Nobby are awesome.

I have just finished 'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett and am now reading 'The Queen of the Damned', by Anne Rice.

Edit: Ive finished the Anne Rice book (Im a voracious reader) and am now reading 'Drood' by Dan Simmons.
Simmons is usually a very good writer, but this book really excels.
Its a historical fantasy about an adventure Charles dikeens had towards the end of his life and I would reccomend it to anyone.

I'm currently rereading the Federalist Papers.

I am (unfortunately) not reading anything at the moment, but the last books I read were:
"A Dance with Dragons" by George R. R. Martin
"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins
"Snuff" by Terry Pratchett
"Susannah's Song" and "'Salem's Lot" by Stephen King.

Has anyone else read "The Passage" by Justin Cronin? It's really good if you haven't.

I'm currently part way through The Count of Monte Cristo, which is fantastic so far. Compelling and engaging and brilliantly swashbuckling Worth reading for anyone with the time to do so...

Also got a book called Lockdown America, about the history of policing and prisons in America from ~1960-1999. A bit outdated given its publication date (two years before a host of massive contemporary changes) and unashamedly polemical, but terrifying nonetheless.

Other than that all of the books sat next to me are philosophy books for an essay I should be writing that most of you wouldn't be interested in.

Good Omens is probably one of my favourite books ever written. Absolutely love it.

I really liked American Gods too, and I've enjoyed what I've read (first 3 or 4 anthologies) of the Sandman comics, but Neverwhere didn't really stick with me. I dunno if it was more intended for younger readers, or if it's because it started life as a TV show, or what, but I just found the whole thing quite two dimensional and unexciting compared to his other stuff. Not as dark, not as in depth and with a fairly infuriating main character from what I remember. Not saying I hated it (I know that's what it sounds like), just that I think it's quite overrated.

A similar, but vastly superior in my opinion, book is China Mieville's Kraken. Very similar setting - London with a secret underside - but much grittier, cleverer and more intriguing subject matter.
Dunno about other countries, but I use my debit card to buy stuff on Amazon and always have, no problem...
That's hilariously closed minded, but even aside from the fact that many of the books I feel I've learnt the most from are not available online, I just find books much more satisfying and more comfortable to read.

Also, anyone who thinks you can't learn anything from fiction has been doing it wrong.
That's a great book - so clear and consise.

I'm reading a few books, sort of. I got halfway through 1963 by King (think that's the title), but then stopped because I'd read too much of it in a day, as in sitting motionless for hours and reading hundreds of pages straight. I might continue it, but eh.

I'm also trying to get through Streams of Silver by R.A. Salvatore, but quite frankly, it's hard to do. He's progressed so much as a writer from his earlier books, which makes them awfully difficult to read. Still, I've got that and seven or eight more of them to get through, so I'll probably get to it over spring break.

Also, I'm going to read Stoker's Dracula over break; I had read most of it six or seven years back, but the copy I had was missing the first fifty or so pages, so I'm looking forward to actually seeing the beginning.

Also been reading Necronomicon on an off lately. It's a collection of H.P Lovecraft short stories. And it's bloody brilliant.

"Pilgrimage to Hell", the first in Jack Adrian's Deathlands series. As far as post-apoc adenture books go, this is a lot better than J.A. Jonstone's garbage "Ashes" series.

Cool, might look into that. Had no idea there were Deus Ex books

I've been reading some H. P. Lovecraft, from Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre.

I actually just bought that online a few days ago, waiting for it in the mail. I have one of the other Del Rey volumes.

Just started The Aeneid after putting it off to finish about 6 Halo books

Both the third and fourth The Black Company omnibi arrived last week. I plunged into number three immediately.

Unfortunately it's the only one I know of.

I am being ridiculously geeky and reading Dragon Age: Asunder at the moment. Oh, that, and rereading Hume's Treatise On Human Nature again for one of my postgraduate essays. David, if you weren't so charismatic, I swear I'd shove that missing shade of blue up your... never mind.

Oh, I envy you reading The Aeneid for the first time! I did my disseratation on that svcker. Controversial though it may be, I rate it higher than the Odyssey. Look out for the Tree of Dreams in Book VI; it's my favourite passage.
