Wayne, you do know how to start a conversation....

I am currently reading Guy Gavriel Kay's newest book River of Stars, which is not-a-sequel to Under Heaven.  It's the same setting, just 400 years on.  The setting is a medieval pseudo-China, which is interesting.  Prior to that I read Jim C. Hines' Libriomancer, which was extremely entertaining; libriomancers can remove objects from books and use them.  Pretty cool magic system.

Other recent reading has included Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer, who I first heard of right here in TH.  Even though I'm a huge Jane Austen fan, I feel only so so about Heyer's Regencies (or maybe I just haven't read a spectacular one, yet), but I do love her mysteries. 

On deck, I have the rest of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, the most recent two novels in Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Mages series, Mistress of Heathcrest Hall, and one or two other...cases.  (Some people have stacks, some people have shelves; I have whole bookcases of books I haven't read.  What?)
