Currently I'm reading the Wheel of Time saga. I'm half way across the fourth book (it's more than a 1000 pages!) and I should getting done with it by the middle of next month (I'm a slow reader) I hope to actually finish off with it all and get the 11th book soon (!).
Seriously, it's a great novel and a great series, but I have to wonder just where the heck does Robert Jordan get all his ideas? Come on, he's got 11 books so far and a prequel novel out (and another is one the way!) that makes it a total of 13 books! Many people criticize him on this point but I personally believe he's going for a world record!

Adam Smith - Wealth Of Nations.
I just got a 55 volume set of classics from Britannica - other books in the collection include Shakespeare, Virgil, Gibbon, Darwin, Plato, Marx, and the rest of the collective, historical gang. Suffice it to say that will keep me busy for the next...oh...twenty years.

The True Game.
The one thing that irks me about it is that the lyrics to a song are given, but not the tune at one point in the book.

Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.
"And the Evil that was vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent and Terror shall consume they that dwell upon the Earth. The skies will rain fire. The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.
