right now i'm reading On Stranger Tides, by Tim Powers (pirates, voodoo and zombies), and Robert Fagles' excellent new translation of the Aeneid.

just finished Carl Hiaasen's latest, Nature Girl (very funny, if not the best Hiaasen); Purity of Blood, by Arturo Perez-Reverte (Captain Alatriste faces off against the Inquisition); and All the Bells on Earth, a James Blaylock fanatsy. All three are worth reading.

and still sitting there in the stack of to-be-continueds is my trusty copy of Godel, Escher, Bach. . .
