Uh, is this thread still on its original theme? If so, I'm reading A Wizard of EarthSea by Ursula Le Guin. If not, I feel stupid ;-)

Not counting my academic readings, the last two months have seen me proceed at a rather slow pace. Off the top of my head:
Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident and Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code Eoin Colfer Casino Royale - Ian Fleming The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown (yuck) Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood ... and a bunch more that I can't recall right now. Most of my time is otherwise spent with computer programming textbooks and philosophical writings on literary theory.

The Allegory of Love by CS Lewis. Tough going for a science major and no middle english to speak of!

In addition, there's a short story named Zaphod Plays it safe.
Since the last post I've also managed to start Baudolino by the aforementioned Eco.

Finished King Lear, and also "The Nine Tailors" by Dorothy Sayers. Loved the former (Oh, Cordelia!!), was not wild about the latter. I'll give her another chance, because of Inky, but it was just too much detail about those darn bells and just not enough human interest for me.
Still working on (and enjoying) the Iliad ...
