Just finished reading the Malazan: Book of the fallen.
This is a Fantasy Decalogy written by Steven Erikson, it's very very good. Vast range of characters and plotlines, all ties up nicely in the end.
Quite a complicated story, but rewarding. Has quite a bit of philosophising in it, might also be described as random meandering gibberish, tomato potato.

just finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (thanks Harb) - great little cyberpunk book about a samurai hacker who delivers pizza for the Mob.
Also knocked over Terry Pratchett's (with Stephen Baxter) new book The Long Earth - interesting book but kind of a fizzler of an ending and felt no investment in the characters.
Finished Book 2 of the Princes In Amber series - I still don't know whether I should be calling these sci-fi or fantasy... great old books though.
and speaking of Brandon Sanderson, have also caught up with the Wheel of Time again - god damn, this guy can write.

Just finished reading the Saga of the Seven Suns - Kevin J. Anderson
Read this because it was "epic space opera comparable to PF Hamiltons work."
Utter rubbish. It was essentially space magic masquerading as scifi. I generally get angry when one of the main characters seems to be retarded, ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE RETARDED.
Why did I read all seven books? I have no idea, it was very annoying.
