And how are you liking it?

I'm working my way through Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett and it's solid so far, lots of fun, very compelling. I'm not the fastest reader but I'm already halfway done after just a few days.

Lord of the Rings trilogy, after finishing The little Hobbit last week. Its the first time in years Im reading a book, and the last time I read those books 20 years ago. Its really so much better than the movies, knowing what the characters think or feel. And with so many small, important details which are left out of the movies.

I read the Silmarillion for the first time last year and it made me fall in love with Tolkien again after a few decades of neglecting his books. Written very differently from LOTR but I still highly recommend if you want more Tolkien and to appreciate the detail in his work.
