What are you reading now?

I'm currently reading Shadowmancer by Graham Taylor. It's a little confusing and fairly complex, but I'm doing a decent job of keeping up.

I recently checked out two books from the library, which I will get to after I finish the one. I forget their names right now.

Do I really need to say anything about it? I mean, it's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's witty and brilliant. Yeah. Only have one more chapter on this one. It's unfortunate that I hear Neil Hannon singing every single time I think of the title.

That one happens to be my least favorite of the five-book trilogy. It's not as funny as the rest and doesn't really explain itself. The explanation for how the events in that book can occur isn't given until the next book. Needless to say, I was rather confused as I read it. At one point, I just had to accept that it wasn't going to be explained and just enjoy it as it is...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As with most anthropomorphic animal novels, the main attraction is the invented myths and culture of the animals, which is what Tales... is all about.

I've read that one. A great thing about it is that people can read it, just as I did, without reading its predecessor (I need to get around to reading that...). Rather fond of mythology, the tales of El-ahrairah were quite enjoyable. I also found it quite clever of Adams to incorporate a rabbit language. Ingenious.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
