Tom Shippey, The Road to Middle Earth (new edition, which incorporates the recently published supplementary materials and includes an appendix on the films): ( a very good book about Tolkien )
Boris Akunin, Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog: ( one from the Russian )
Sergei Lukyanenko, Night Watch: ( and another Russian book )
Hilary Mantel, Beyond Black: ( this is the book you should all read )
Just started reading:
Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora: A truly dire opening paragraph, but the first chapter is shaping up nicely, and at the moment I think I will like this. [ETA: I am now a third of the way in and do like it well enough.]
Recently put down:
Lindsey Davis, See Delphi and Die: Oh dear. You know, I really enjoyed the early Falco novels (and reread a couple earlier this summer), but the series as a whole just doesn't stand up well. I'll probably finish this, eventually. Or maybe not.
