Almost finished with the first book of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, The Golden Compass. Definitely enjoying it so far, though the author would loathe the comparison, I've found a lot of parallels with the Narnia series. Looking forward to the next two books

Nonfiction lately:
Day of Reckoning by Pat Buchanan. I just finished it.

Independents Day by Lou Dobbs. Got this one for Christmas, and I'm about halfway through it. After these I'll be ready for some lightweight fiction.

For me. I've resolved to read (at least) two books a month this year, so we'll see how that goes. Figure I should start off easy. If I like Legend enough, I'll read the short stories which round out the package.

Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Now that those 60 pages of boring expository dialog are out of the way, I'm really liking it.

Have also been working my way through Russell Weigley's The American Way of War.
