How far into it are you BC and how do you like it? I didn't like it as well as No Country For Old Men myself, which at least in the book gives you a better and more explanatory ending than the movie.
I just finished "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and started on "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. Both are "Classics" that I have wanted to read for a long time but just never got around to it, until now.

A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore. Strange story about a guy who becomes Death. Got quite a few chuckles out of it, not a bad read.

I'm reading The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Highly enjoyable so far.

Just about to start this!!!!
Heard nothing but good things and have managed to stay unaware of the plot. This coupled with the imagination of Del Toro has me excited to no end!

It's been probably 20 years since I last read it, but I'm almost through the 1st 3 Michael Moorc0ck, Corum novels collected in The Swords Trilogy and they're just excellent. What a great sword & sorcery epic. Corum is so... not how he's depicted on this cover. There's a 60's, almost hippie-esque sensability to Moorc0ck's writing during his original Eternal Champion phase, that I really can't compare it to any other sword hero. Brilliant stuff. Oceans of blood, insane gods, magicians so corrupt, companions of heroes so fleshed-out, this stuff is smart candy. Corum is a final Prince Elf set on revenge in a universe so amazing, it'll blow your mind.

Elric seems to be his most popular work but I like Corum much better myself.
