Just finished the 3rd book in Mark Lawrence's 2nd trilogy, The Wheel of Osheim... another great series, not as epic as the first but still intelligently written with characters you can love and hate at the same time...
At the moment I am reading Margaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last... brilliant writer who writes about the future as I can easily see it happening - corporate strength undermining democracy and tricking the populous into believing they are free when they are really just slaves to the system... thanks gtagrl.
