The Bourne Supremacy(The book is better than the movie...as usual.)
Paths of the Dead by Stephen Brust.
It's really only the first part of one big novel, the Viscount of Andrilahnka (sp???? - I know that's wrong) series.
I got a whole stack of nonfiction books for Christmas, so I'll be in the other thread for a while, I guess.

Hard Rain by Barry Eisler, better than the first great urban tactical stuff, nasty knives, and the importance of suprise and range.
Playmates, Ceremony, and Pale Kings and Princes by Parker. More Spenser and Hawk in action. Always good.
The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian by Howard. The first book in a chronological compilation of Conan tales. As a dedicated Sci Fi and Fantasy reader I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that these are the first of the Conan stories I have read.
Legends II: Shortstory compilation, I mostly read it for the Dunk and Egg story as a fix for whenever Martin finishes Feast of Crows.

I just finished The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, by Neal Stephenson.
It was excellent.

Crisscross - Latest Repairman Jack book from F. Paul Wilson
Just finished re-reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Warlord Chronicles', in my opinion, the best version of Arthurian legend available. Series is comprised of: The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur

Good, Bad . . . Better (Harlequin Blaze). I admit, without much shame 
, that I'm addicted to romance novels. (I may look like an unabridged dictionary, but I'm a trashy novel at heart.)

American Gods. A friend recommended it to me, and its turning out to be quite the page-turner.
Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling sort of a post-apocalyptic northwest US meets the feudal age book.
I really liked it, but then I would be reasonably well prepared should such a catastrophe takes place. I could finally justify my hobby of collecting large, functional, sharp and pointy implements to my wife.
I must get into bowmaking though....

Rain Fall, by Barry Eisler
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by JK Rowling
The Fifth Elephant, by Terry Pratchett
and
Stone of Tears, by Tery Goodkind
Yes, all at the same time. I read zonally. One is in the Living room, one in the car, one in the knapsack, one at my desk...

Schtankybampo ~ I totally understand the zonal reading.
Right now, I finished up Asimov's Foundation, and am into Foundation and Empire. Quick reads, very interesting, never dull.... Asimov is fab.
I'm thinking of starting the Neal Stephenson Baroque trilogy, but it's huge - I'm afraid I'll get lost in it!

ABE.com is great for gently used titles, I'll bet they can find the one you're missing. Me, I have this weird fetish for the smell of new books, so I'm an Amazon.com girl...
Thanks Morgan~!
Yes, Amazon has it and we should all know if we poke the Amazon buttons at the bottom of MT index and purchase.. MT gets a cut
I'm just a penniless Martial Artist who relies on the local library for my books unless it's a collection I really want to purchase.. but since we're in the process of building our house.. I am holding back on having to pack even more books~!!
I'll see if the library can get ahold of a copy
