I wouldn't call The Once and Future King the greatest fantasy book of all time but it is a good book. Gets better as it goes on. T. H. White is very dated though. I doubt a modern writer would be as racist as he is unless deliberately aiming to cause controversy whereas when he wrote there was nothing remarkable in what he wrote.

Oh I don't mind racism in writers from that period, I love Robert Howard for example. I just didn't like the writing itself, hated the style. Maybe I'll give it another go later and just skip The Sword in the Stone, I already know the general outline of the story anyway.

If by "reading" you mean was reading until school started and has been shelved due to lack of time ever since, Danielewski's House of Leaves.

The Picture of Dorian Gray on iBooks. Deathly Hallows as a physical book.

I finished Breakfast of Champions a little while ago. That book is wildly badass, and hilarious.

I just finished Terry Pratchett's Night Watch. It was awesome.

Next up: Monstrous Regiment!

Best comedy author in the world. (one of them anyway)

I finished reading Snuff not that long ago, might as well read Inheritance (it's not like I have anything better to do).
Unless I can get my hands on a copy of one of the newer Robert Aspirin books.
