After waterworld I promised myself no more post-apocoliptic Costner... But i caught this movie and i must say it was better then I would have even given it credit for. Maybe not a masterpiece plot or dialogue wise, but still a decent movie with great cinematography.
AndrewDB:
I'm a huge fan of fantasy books in general, and I'm waiting for the next Xanth book to come out in paper back, so while I wait, I'm currently starting another series:
As far as recommended reading, I've already mentioned the Xanth series (read them in order!), I'll also recommend the Incarnations of Immortality (read them in order as well!) series, as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
So.. What about you?
What are you reading, or what do you recommend to others to read?

Oops. :-(
Maybe I can get a mod to move this. :|

And I got a gift card for being an excellent employee today for about 93$, usable in a book store, so I will probably try to pick up Anansi Boys and/or American Gods tomorrow! I am much looking forward to getting hold of new books. I think I need a Gaiman break for a bit though (re-read Sandman in its entirety a few days ago), so I'm open for suggestions.

Try the Incarnations series:
On a Pale Horse, Bearing an Hourglass, With a Tangled Skein, Wielding a Red Sword, Being a Green Mother For Love of Evil, And Eternity Morrow, I haven't read the latest one, Under a Velvet Cloak, because I didn't know it'd released (I feel pretty sad about that because Piers Anthony is my favorite author), but I'll probably pick it up in the next few days.
They're amazing reads.

I found American Gods to be the better book of the two. It's one of my favorite contemporary fantasy novels. It's wonderfully inventive and has lots of awesome characters. I'd say go with this one.
I also recommend to anyone picking up the penguin deluxe edition of The Collected Short Stories of Borges. Quite possibly my favorite book of short stories ever. Truly brilliant.
