Soon as I can read again, Jose Saramago's "The Cave" is next.
Who would be into a QC forum bookclub?
Seriously!

I'm currently enthralled in Mary Stewart's Merlin/Arthur stories. I just finished The Hollow Hills yesterday and once I get to the bookstore, I'll start The Last Enchantment.
Anyone else ever read these? The books are a nice take on the classic King Arthur tale. Stewart, however, takes Merlin as the narrator and central character. The first book, The Crystal Cave focuses on his childhood and how he gets his "powers." It ends with him helping Uther to bed Ygraine, and ultimately conceiving Arthur. The Hollow Hills deals with Arthur's childhood & upbringing and ends with him becoming King after Uther's death. The stories are well told and Stewart does a great job depicting the classic tale from another point of view.

What a fantastic book! It is one of my all-time favorites. Like you, I had to read it for class (11th grade AP English). It is a nice short read and the story is magnificent. It is one of those books that I could read over and over and not get bored with. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did/do.

I'm currently nearing the end of Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone by James Baldwin - one of my absolute favourite authors. After that I'll probably read Waxwings by Jonathan Raban, a hardcover copy of which I picked up at a local bookstore recently remaindered to A$17.

I'm reading Arrow from Earth, a sci fi type book. I'm not sure if i like it yet.
