Very good book, it's written by one of the former top guys at Northern Rock (but not written about Northern Rock, and it doesn't go into too much detail about the banking crisis).

This month I finished The Traveler and The Wrong Man by John Katzenbach.

I've yet to read two of his books now: Hart's Wat and In the Heat of the Summer, but I saw the movies. Maybe I can find them on sale sometime.

Yesterday I began reading The Word by Irving Wallace.

Next in line are The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and La Hermandad de la Sábana Santa by Julia Navarro...

My friend just got me into the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. I just finished the second one, The Source of Magic.

I'm also going through Unix Shell Programming, Third Edition, at a slower pace. I mostly read nonfiction, so the Xanth series is a fun change.

Xanth is a great series. Although after reading 30 or so books from that series the puns get a little old. I really enjoyed his Geodyssey series, gives a whole new perspective on how we may have evolved.

After recently reading Huxley's "Brave New World", I figured I'd continue the theme and read Orwell's 1984. I also have another Terry Pratchett book but I started 1984 first. Come to think of it, I should check whether it has been three weeks yet, I may need to renew them soon.

I just finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, which was excellent. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy novels. I can't wait for the second book :).

Now I'm about to start Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter by Tom Bissell. I like to alternate fiction and non-fiction.

Recently wrapped up the last of the Codex Alera series, which is an excellent read. Also finished the latest in the Dresden Files and Rachel Morgan series, also some of my favorites. Currently working on "The Naming of the Beasts", latest in the Felix Castor series.. was a little skeptical at first but it reeled me in pretty good. Still waiting not so patiently for George R.R. Martin's next book, hoping he finally wraps it up before one of us keels over from old age.
