i�m reading Robert Jordan�s "Wheel of Time"
quite cool fantasy, what needs really long to read. in germany there are 28 books �E300-400 pages out now
many, many different characters who appear and disaapear, side-storys, and so on...absolutly complex thing
Interesting that this book is in 28 books in Germany. In the US, it's in 10 books, each about 500-600 pages... I read the first two books and then realized I had other things to do, so decided to take a break on the series. But I'll come back to them sometime.

translated and edited by ivan morris. really neat stuff, somehow when i pick up a book on japanese history it always ends up being about the heian jidai. don't know why...? the okagami, ochikubo monogatari, heike monogatari (the shin heike monogatari by yoshikawa eiji - want to read the original some day), now this one. just dumb luck i guess...
hmmm... what I'm reading now...
I just start reading artemis fowl,
and .... emm I don't remember what the title but it is a thriller fiction... I like fiction a lot...
and I'm reading detective conan and the file of young kindaichi comics it is good... love mystery solving books and comics

yes, i know, its quite boring to wait on the 2nd part of the splitted book, cause they appear with a diffence of some month...but i guess the german books have somehow the better drawings ^^
i needed 1-2years to finish this fantasy cycle and sometimes it really bored me. sometimes the side-storys are absolutly uninteressting or the story develops far too slow, but on the other hand....hey, gimme one book with more complex characters, development, world and story
