You'll be at that Norrell and Strange book for awhile. It's quite a paperweight.

I've finished the book. My favorite part was when Jonathan Strange gave Christopher Drawlight the finger.

The movie Sleeper is an odd movie but funny.

Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk (Movie was great, but the book's even better)
Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk (Wierd as hell, but has a lot of cool subtle )
Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin (Fantasy, but not too fantasy. Got into this recently as they were about to air the HBO series, it's the first book in a series of four going on five. I'm diggin' it, currently on the second book.)
Generation Kill - Evan Wright (One of the few books on Americans in Iraq that's actually worth a damn. It follows a Recon unit through the early days of OIF.)
The Stand - Stephen King
The Gunslinger - Stephen King (First of seven. If you like the first, you'll probably like the series.)

Okay, the Dark Tower was some cool (I have a tattoo of the Eye of the Crimson King), but the last book was such garbage it almost reduced the rest of the books to complete garbage.

I don't believe in cops, bosses, or politicians.
Some call that anarchism,
I call it having a :palm:ing heart that beats!
I do believe in freedom and never giving up.
Call my methods madness or call them luck.
I do what I got to, to feel able to breathe!
And if you quit your job well, you can do a little breathing with me.

Me too! I read the series a year or two ago, and was reminded of it when I saw the adverts for the TV adaption. I've misplaced the first book though, so I'm trying to piece it together from memory. These books are great - they combine the noble gallantry and romantic imagery of chivalric pageantry with oceans of blood and gratuitous usage of the word 'cunt'.
