As I said earlier, I'm reading Tolkiens unfinished tales. However, it is a library book, and some nasty bugger has ripped out the map! If anyone could scan and email it to me, I would be eternally grateful! (PM me for my 'mail)

I just finshed 6 Dune books (book 1 last yr before FOTR movie movie came out, books 2 to 5 three weeks ago, and book 6 last week.
I started to read Neil Gaiman's American Gods yesterday. I hope I can catch up on a lot of other things which are not related to reading fiction books. Hopefully I'd learn an instrument or 2 this year and scaled another Philippine peak. So many things to do...

_That Hideous Strength_ by C.S.Lewis. Excellent, excellent book. a little freaky, though! Jane's dream, the dead man who was only sleeping, and the head of the executed criminal kept alive separate from his body...wow! I couldn't sleep at night.

Just starting The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan; it's for English at school. I'm finding it a little akward because it is written in the present tense (she sits down and watches...). Oh well. Anyone else read this book?

At the moment I'm re-reading Dale Brown's Chains of Command (a very good techno-thriller). Taken a long pause in Harry Turtledove's WW: Upsetting the Balance and finishing off KSR's Green Mars. Have begun Edward Rutherfurd's Sarum (with the intent of reading London and The Forest)

I've just finished 'Perelandra' by C.S. Lewis, as well as re-reading Sense and Sensibility, and I'm not sure what to start next. I'm sure I'll find something...
