I took a step back from my urban fantasy addiction, following to many different series and try to decide which ones to drop and which ones to stick with.
I was at barnes and nobles the other day and on a whim decided to give the Star wars Darth Bane series a go I am finished with the first book in the triliogy.THe novels take place aprox 1092 years before SW new hope and track the growth and life of the Sith lord who annihilated the brother hood of darkness and put in place the rules of two.I am definatly going with my gut instinct to track down and read other space opera novels since I definatly need a change of pace

Oh, I love when people resurrect antique threads! (and I mean that, too, I'm not taking the piss...forgotten names of the departed and the renamed, book fads of yore, etc.)
I'm currently on Augusten Burroughs' Possible Side Effects... next in the hopper is Magical Thinking by the same author.

An interesting (so far) biography of the late Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman.

I read two incredible books in the last couple weeks.
One is gay-themed, a coming of age story, called [ame="http://www.amazon.com/My-Side-Story-Will-Davies/dp/1596912944"]My side of the Story[/ame] by Will Davis, about a British teenager coming to terms with coming out while his family falls apart in the background. It's simultaneously hilarious and touching and it nails the adolescent psyche with laser precision - cracking good fun.
The other is called [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Anthem-Reluctant-Prophet-Joanne-Proulx/dp/1569474877"]Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet[/ame] by Joanne Proulx, about a small-town kid who suddenly develops the ability to sense imminent death when while stoned one evening he predicts the gruesome demise of his best friend the following day. Although immediately you suspect it's going to turn all sci-fi-horror Final Destination, it doesn't; instead it deals extensively with the kid's emotional trauma of being able to see but not prevent death and the breakdown of his relationships with everyone because of it. There's a lot more to it, but it is truly a magnificent novel. Very different kids to the the UK-based one, but no less authentic in terms of the author's realisation of the characters.
Both debut novels and both superb.

Got 'til it's gone by Larry Duplechan. Blackbird was better, I think. Perhaps because there was an element of innocence to Blackbird that is missing here. It's good, but I won't be buying it for anyone, whereas I bought five or six of the other as gifts.
I'm also finishing Kate Grenville's Secret River, and although this is (as are all of her's) brilliantly put together, I've all but stopped 30 pages before the end after having spilt my lunch drink right across the hard back I had bought with much joy: - I hate dirty pages and struggle to read anything with distractions such as damaged pages. Pissed off.
Fry (Stephen) has another book tucked under my bed that he called Making History. A quirky beginning, but I have only just begun and as it's a 'just before sleepy byes' book, it will take some time to get through.
