    TheSilence, did you know that the last of the Earth's Children series just came out?

    I like Jim Butcher's Codex Alera and Dresden Files series, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, Kim Harrison's The Hollows series, most of Stephen King's books, and Dean Koontz. And more!

    For fiction I recently enjoyed reading On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. Good for those of us who experienced JW-related sexual hang ups.

    For non-fiction I liked The Enigma of Capital by David Harvey. Why a Marxist critique of the capitalist system is still highly relevant.

    Mad Sweeney,

    I, too, love the Mary Stewart books, and agree with you. Have been an avid collector/reader of books on the Arthurian legend, and highly recommend Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Mists of Avalon",, can't believe I left it off my list, hehehe, she writes a great "Darkover" series, too, for any Sci-Fi lovers out there.
