Currently going through The Spiral Dance's 10th anniversary edition with a fine-tooth comb. Also a couple Star Wars expanded universe books, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Beowulf. Again.

Because someone had to restart this thread after the move.  What are you reading, how is it, and would you recommend it?


The book of magical herbs - Margaret Picton. :)

Fallen Dragon by Peter F Hamilton.

I don't normally read much sci-fi but my hubby loves Peter Hamilton so I thought I would give it a try. World building is superb, well written.

I'm having a little difficulty getting through it but I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm so busy with my own book, I'm only managing to read about 10 minutes a day.

I've heard Peter Hamilton is good, but I haven't had the inclination to read a lot of fiction lately.

Right now I'm reading Second Nature: A Gardener's Education by Michael Pollan, a gift for Mother's Day. I have two of his other books and when I found out this one was all about gardening I knew I had to have it (and yes I tell my kids/husband exactly what to get me so I'm never disappointed ;))
