Doing something I never normally do, which is to have two books on the go simultaneously. The first is the King of Thorns ( part 2 of the Broken Empire trilogy ), and the second is The Time Traveller's Almanac ; a collection of sci-fi short stories.
I'm really enjoying the Broken Empire trilogy ; the protagonist is almost the perfect example of an antihero, yet somehow the author manages to make the reader almost care for him. The prose is nice and crisp, and flows easily ( for me at least ).
As for the Time Traveller's Almanac ; a great collection of short stories from classic and contemporary sci-fi authors. Just perfect for digesting a short story, or two, before putting out the lights at night.
Oh, and after a long period of consideration I've finally bought the first Dresden Files novel for my Kindle. Will probably tackle it next ...
