Not insomnia - I just like to read over breakfast (and lunch and dinner) if I'm on my own...

That's available again?! Where? How? I love Millar's stuff, apart from Thraxas.

Currently reading Faceless Killers, the first Kurt Wallander crime novel by Henning Mankell. Great so far - drags you through its pages by the eyeballs. Might order a couple more so I can be ostentatiously reading one when I go to Sweden at the end of the month... :wink:

Clown, it's yours, if you want it, for the cost of posting it to you...

Started reading 'Knife of Dreams' (Robert Jordan), he 's still waffling where no waffling is needed but it looks to be a big improvement on 'Crossroads of Twilight'.

I finished Robin Hobb's Fool's Fate at the weekend.
A strong end to the trilogy, and a fairly action-packed one, which was good seeing as The Golden Fool was very action-lite. ***SPOILER ALERT*** But the thunderous conclusion occurs about two-thirds of the way through, and I found the rest of the book to be somewhat over-sentimental codswallop between Fitz and the Fool, which, while I realise this relationship was the core of the books, should have taken place before they freed Icefyre, and not after.
But a spectacularly written trilogy, even if it wasn't quite up to the standards of her first two.

Started A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay on the train this morning. I've only recently discovered GGK, and what I've read so far I love. I will get around to reading something new soon, promise, but I can't justify buying new books when the TRP is so high...

Reading Louise Welsh "The Cutting Room". It's a bit of a change from my usual, but it's good.
