I just started "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. It is a YA fantasy book (my guilty pleasure!). I am about a quarter into it, and it is a very easy read and quite enjoyable. I am doing heavy reading for school, so this is just the thing to relax.

I am halfway through "Good Omens" (Gaiman / Pratchett), and while it has its redeeming qualities, this book is not nearly as good as I was expecting it to be. I guess that's what happens when your hopes are too high - they get shot down.

I am also reading Indo-European Poetry and Myth by West. Not as good as "To Kill a Dragon", but then again I am only on page 86.

Next on my list is "The House of Storms", the sequal to the fantastic "The Light Ages" (Ian R. MacLeod), I can't wait!
