I read that!  Liked it too.

The major ones that come to mind are:
The Secret History of Star Wars
Go Put Your Strengths To Work
Where Ever You Go There You Are

I finished The Rats the Bats and the Ugly not long ago, it was enjoyable.  I'm sure I'm reading some other things as well, but those are what come to mind.

Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett.

I've got lotsa books at home.  I just can't seem to bring myself to stop reading me my Terry Pratchett.

I've been reading the Septimus Heap series lately. It's like the poor man's version of Harry Potter. I think I may love it. I'm such a sucker for "young adult" literature. It's just so cute!

Rereading Elven Star - Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. I finished Dragon Wing (first in the series) three days ago, and I'm already half way through this one (book 2). Good thing the Death Gate Cycle has seven!

I loved the death gate cycle - except for the seventh book. Don't know why, it just seemed a little hurried.

I don't have a book! Well, I do have a book. I'm reading "Spanked," an anthology of spanking erotica. I'm reviewing it for my site. I dunno, I'm having a hard time warming up to it, and I used to be all about the erotica. And I even like spankings.

How.... fitting. :-P

I just finished Ken Randall's Charlotte's Movie on StoriesOnline. While it has its flaws, it was very enjoyable overall. I'll probably continue working through my list of SOL authors, which would mean something by Heathen57 is up next.

Damn, but I miss my eBook reader.

I make shiny things, you need them.

I've been reading the D&D gazetteers, they have amusing and intriguing storylines. Too bad the later ones contradict the earlier ones on some crucial points.

Rereading Summer Knight.  To be followed by The Broken God by David Zindell, Dilvish, The Damned by Roger Zelazny, and Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett.  Order to be determined.

I'm happy. See, I'm smiling!

Rereading all of the Myth Adventures books by Robert Aspirin. Or at least, all of them that I can stand before I have to stop. They're mind candy, but even so, they go downhill after the first few. But I've never read the later ones, and I'm feeling masochistic...

Not your typical chinaman.

"Brooklyn Noir", an anthology of film noir shorts based in different neighborhoods around Brooklyn. 

Surprisingly, there's no story based in Borough Park, where I'm living now.  Unsurprisingly, there's one based in Bed-Stuy, where I was living last year.
