Whats on peoples bedside table?

Like I said in another post, I'm reading, Liars Poker, Inversions and a pop. science book called "How Brains Think" (I'm not actually *reading* it you understand, I just leave it there to make me look intellectual )

Hmmmm. Book buzz... Thats what 7 evening in Utah and 2 12-hour flights will do to you...

Finished reading Prachett's "Hogfather" last night - tore into Arthur C's "Garden of Rama".
I wouldn't mind, but I was so tired I went to bed at 10 so I'd have enough time to finish Hogfather an get a good sleep. No such luck

"Garden of Rama" is shaping up to be quite the read - as certainly griped me more than the previous 2, but I've mainly been erading Fantasy for the last couple months so the Sci-Fi buzz must have got me again

Next on the list is "Mistress of the Empire" by Feist and Janny Wurts. Last in the trilogy. It's been a pretty good read for the first 2 books. If you've not read Magician and co, some of it won't make sense, but if you have and are bored - go for it

Hart's War by John Katzenbach, which I am nearly finished - next up a biog of the Marquis De Sade, then Denying The Holocaust by Deborah Lipstadt (the one that that fascist Irving is suign her for libel over, thought I better get it in case he wins and wants all copies of it burnt )

kafka's castle unfinished, and looking to
stay that way, new rebellion starwars book
(which despite my brother's entusiasm I
cant get into any of the starwars literature)
and born of a woman by bishop spong
(which is a lie, cos its on my table and
not my bedside table, but I read it none
the less cos its by a radical christian
who reckons mary was raped and many other
radical thoughts on christianity that the
establishment has trouble swallowing but
cant stop him cos hes an ordained bishop
and has studied the bible acadamically and
recreationaly since he could read yadda
yadda) and I STILL haven't bought the
survivor.

I cant remember if I've read mistress
of the empire, I went through the magician
books but it was a while ago. tell us what
its like tho kharn.

Some book.

Canaboid

Just finished Watchmen (moore/gibbons, see other thread) for the 4th time in as many years and it still blows me away.
Also in the middle of "a prayer for Owen Meaney" by John Irving which so far is excellent.

At the moment I'm reading Power Play by Anne McCaffrey; and before that Rainbow 6 by Tom Clancy.

R6 was an okay book but as usual it was predictable as hell and about halfway through got very boring...

I'm only starting Power Play but its looking interesting...

Kegs,

Paladin

The Fighting Man by Gerald Seymour.
(Yes just the one)
Only just started, but it seems different anyway.

Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut, who's probably... yes, is my favourite author. This however is my least favourite of his so far. I HIGHLY recommend Slaughterhouse Five, Welcome to the Monkey House and Cats Cradle though, in that order. Anyone?

Also Perfume by Patrick Suskind which some girl gave me and I've been reading on and off a while. Just can't get very INTO it.

And Lord of the Rings, which I've been reading for about 3 years. Also on and off. But I'm VERY into that one. Don't want it to end.
