The Virginian by Owen Wister. 100 years old, and still shiny!

City of the Dead- Brian Keene
The book says that some folk are calling him the new Stephen King. That's bull, for two reasons:
1, while he is a damnedly good writer, all he did was make zombies smarter and able to use guns, including rifles. I personally think that the whole getting ripped apart limb from limb by hordes of zombie midgets much more terrifying then being shot at.
and, 2, Isn't Stephen King the new Stephen King? Did he suddenly stop being himself? 'Cause, I seemed to fail to get the memo.

and every time I play with passion I start breaking strings,
and my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart
THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!

You need to start with her Mage Wars trilogy:
The Black Gryphon
The White Gryphon
The Silver Gryphon
Then go to the Last Herald-Mage trilogy:
Magic's Pawn
Magic's Promise
Magic's Price
After that I don't remember off e top of my head; but, she does have a website; I don't remember what it is either but just search Google and I think her web page is the first to come up.
And, some more good books by Ann McCaffrey are
The Rowan
Damia
Damia's Children
Especially if you lean more towards sci-fi, as these are set in the future and center around psi powers.
Have many good reads!
Oh, and I am now reading just The Fire in the Forge, as I have finished all my other books.

This is gonna sound pretentious, but really it's not. Just good bookage. I'm reading Beowulf. The translation by Seamus Heaney is really good.
Prior to that was Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

I'm currently reading book I of C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy titled Out of the Silent Planet. So far I'm about half way through it and finding it very enjoyable. It is deep in theology and philsophoy. I am blow away by C.S. Lewis' description of space travel, (for he wrote these books before man even went into space). His descriptions are almost perfect, as if he knew all along what it would be like. Plus his descriptions are far more intresting and enticing than how NASA today would describe space travel. The mere description of the sun is breath taking to read, making me want to see it for my self.

Just started on Storm Front by Jim Butcher thanks to some enthusiastic recommendations from several Browncoats.
Special thanks to deepgirl187 for pointing me in the right direction.

recently read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip Dick which I enjoyed a lot - it's up for grabs in the Browncoat flying library if anyone's interested (thank you FlyVote!!
)
I just finished reading "Shakespeare" by Bill Bryson last night, it was really refreshing and had his typical wry humour! On the recommendation of Naughtman I bought Bill Bryson' book on the English language today, "Mother Tongue" - I already know I'm going to enjoy it!
