finished "The Wishsong of Shannara". I read this book some 10, 15 years ago for the first time and this was the first re-read. I'm not entirely certain if I'm a fan of Terry Brooks; there's nothing wrong with his stories, but, I don't know... are they a bit on the bland side?

However, time for something completely different: The Belisarius Saga, by David Drake and Eric Flint. As it turns out, I already had the first five books (thanks to Baen's Free Library and a Webscription month, which had the fifth book in it). So I'm now half way through "An Oblique Approach". I had to use the dictionary (Webster 1913) to look up "Oblique"

This is a totally enjoyable book: well written, a bit of excitement, a bit of humor... nice
