> What's everyone else reading for excitement these days?

Well, I'm trying to get through The Sword of Shannara (by Terry Brooks), but I keep getting distracted. I'm mainly reading it thanks to the reccomendation the series got a while ago in the Site Journal, but in all honesty it hasn't been that interesting so far (aside from finding and laughing at the parts that seem to have been blatantly taken from Lord of the Rings). Actually, I haven't even read it at all in like 3 weeks, I've been busy with other stuff...
