Hope dies last.)
I am reading the first book in the Percy Jackson series, and I quite like it! It is a fantasy series geared towards children and is a nice light read in the morning on my bus ride. I am also reading The House of Storms by Ian MacLeod, who does not get nearly as much recognition as he deserves.

I'm hoping the next book comes out soon, it's looking like sometime early 2010 at this point, and as I'm re-reading slowly (while reading many other books, I find that with my e-reader now I tend to read about 4-5 books at a time...) hopefully my timing will work out well.. I liked the 4th book, but so many characters were missing. The 5th will have Jon Snow, Lady Stark, we'll maybe find out what exactly happened to Brenna (I doubt she's really gone) ... were Jaime's chapters in the 4th? I know Danaery's were not either.. it'll be a fantastic book.
Also, the HBO pilot series should be coming out soon... Just hope that enough people watch it that they keep it going. Martin is actually working on the show, with some of the makers of Rome, so it should be fantastic. And the cast looks great.
I'll check out your suggestions.
And thanks to all above who were talking about EoG and HoG - I'll be sure to check out one or both.
