I've mostly been having a stab at research books, namely Angels: the endangered species and a small book on the Tarot pack. Gotta look at a few more i should think, for a seperate essay that needs to be carried out. Yikes.
Comics wise i've mostly been reading the odd batman book along with the all new Tenchi Muyo graphic novels by Viz. I've otherwise been gettting into the gunsmith cats manga. |

I've read a lot of what has already been posted, but for the moment I'm enjoying a series of books entitled the WorldWar Series, four books in all, then the aftermath series.
They're about an alternative history in World War II beginning in mid-1942, so things are just heating up, when aliens invade with superior technology intent on enslaving the planet for their race. This forces the once-at-odds nations of the world to unite, though reluctauntly, and battle them.

At the moment I'm reading "Battle Royal" (the original novel, not the manga adaption), and I'm really enjoying it.

Thanks for the heads-up on book 3. Do you know which book Bloodlust was based on? Or was it a completely original adventure? |

I'm about finishing Terry Pratchett's "Rolling Stones". It is a funny book that makes a lot fun of stereotypes about rock music, also my favourite character from the Disc World is in a main role: the Death, wo has an identity crisis and suddenly disappears.
