The Iliad was IMO very good!
 And the Odysse seems to be even better (on the 4th song now).

I just started the 'Ware' series by Rudy Rucker (Software, Wetware, Freeware, and Realware).

Wow! I thought I read a lot of books at once. Good stuff Nim! Welcome to the Moot by the way.
I'm reading "Dune", by Frank Herbert, "The Book of Five Rings", by Miyamoto Musashi, and "Tales from the Perilous Land" by J.R.R. Tolkien.

What am I reading?
Right now Huck Finn, for about the fourth time. This is for school though so it also involved doing work (groan). and real books....? I've been so busy. Everything was over by last Saturday. Now I just need to go the library. I must've read every book in our house. I think i'll try Canterbury Tales and/or Picture of Dorian Grey next. Mercutio

I'm reading the first book in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Apparently the first few books are excellent, but then they start to become unbelievable. I'll give them a go, however.

I'm waiting until the series of Wheel of time ever gets finished. I hate reading books and then having to wait a year to get my paw- er hands on the sequel.
Right now I'm reading LoTR (Purely for the LoTR project of course ), The Peter principle and a book about American Gargoyles I got from my sister.

Just started the first book in the Wheel of Time-series, expectations kept as low as possible.
Just finished two books, one which I had to read in English-classes ("We All Fall Down" by Robert Cormier) and the first book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire"-series, "A Game of Thrones" and loved it. Had to order the next one from Amazon! Hands itching...

I read a review for a book called "Dancing on the Edge" and started reading it. It's pretty good. Not LotR, of course, but okay.

Cool
 ! I'm trying to get my friend to read Dune and The Silmarillion. He says both are dumb. Fool! He doesn't get it that you can't judge a book by its cover. *sigh* Oh well, his loss .Wait, maybe I could blackmail him into reading them  .
