Finished "Elric of Melnibone" a while ago. It was cool, great written, Elric is interesting person, so not typical for fantasy books. Yet it didn't stun me. But I'm gonna read the next volumes, heard that they're more interesting.

Since those books aren't mine and I tend to damage books really much, I took other book with me, when I was going to Krakow last week. On the way there I've read only two stories: Bram Stoker's "The burial of the Rats" and E. A. Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". It was ok, not bad, nothing special.

In Krakow I bought myself another book, only cause it was in a very cheap bookstore, and started to read it on a ride back. It's polish book, in translation it'd be "Constellation of the executioner" or something like that. It's placed in a historical reality, but it's fantasy. Quite interesting and very well written, using a bit archaic language.

Argh, a bit since I posted. Finished Kushiel's Justice, was wrong about which one was the second part but ordered the right one none the less, so now I am waiting for the cheap paperback to come out this month, have it on pre-order. :roll:
Bite was crap, I mean the Laurell Hamilton story was great, an Anita Blake story is always good. :) But the rest of the writers in there were crap, I actually didn't finish some of the stories cause they were so badly written. Urban Fantasy they call it, blah, any idiot can write that.

Now, Nightseer by Laurell Hamilton, another book I still had lying around.

Think I'll start one of my Lovecraft story books again, or maybe Poe. Am in the mood for such an atmosphere again. Truely I LOVE Lovecraft. Think I'll go to check up on the progress of that At The Mountains if Madness film.. loved that story. :)

^ I'm reading that next :D

Finished Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince. I'm not sure what to say about it...I definitely enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the seventh (and last) book.

Started reading "QED: the strange theory of light and matter" by Feynman the other day. Good so far.

Demons and Angels by Dan Brown

I saw the movie but I didn't get it, so now I am reading the book. I enjoy it very much.
I don't read very much lately but last year I read so many books. But I don't have a favourite one.

Oh, I like Agatha Christie books, althought I read only half of the book.

Short novel Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Great! Awesome atmosphere and well written.

which one? I love him!

@t: finished Dharma Bums by J. Kerouac a week ago, then Nočné správy by D. Mitana and right now I'm fighting my way through Pic by J. Kerouac again, but I'm not excited at all about this one, and Grasp by a friend of mine.

Finally finished The fortress of the pearl by Moorcock. I have mixed feelings about it. It was cool, original and inetersting. But on the other hand there's something about the way of writing. I mean the style is great, but in moments it just seems like a mental shortcut. But I'm still gonna read next parts.
