I guess you could say I'm technically reading this too. I own Taliesin and Merlin, but can't find Arthur anywhere in Australia. Well, near me anyway. Hopefully it'll go into reprint soon.
*taps fingers impatiently*
Erm... I think we are reading different series. The Pendragon series I am referring too are the books about Bobby Pendragon, the traveller. I've never heard of the titles you mentioned.

HeHe. Oops!
I didn't realise there were 2 series out there with similar names. The one I was refering to is the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead, which is basically the story of King Arthur.

I'm currently switching between Storm Warning by Mercedes Lackey (reading again for the 2nd time) and Fluke by James Herbert. Some of you might remember Fluke the movie about a man reincarnated as a dog. It used to be one of my favorite books years ago, but then I lost it. It wasn't a big deal until I realized the book was out of print and the one I had bought at my local bookstore was probably one of its last copies. I just ordered a used one off amazon though, but I do miss my old book with the puppy wearing shoes on the cover

I'm supposed to be reading Vanity Fair by William Thackeray (I've read a bit.) but I'm also reading a book about Hinduism at the moment.

I've just finished reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (finally found an unabridged version, thank goodness!) and am beginning a book of poetry on war and peace.

I've finished the DavVinci code, and am now reading <u>Eats, Shoots and Leaves</u>. Wonderful book. Funny, and I'm now learning how to punctuate properly. xP

Which of his stuff did you like more? I really enjoyed the Belgariad and the Mallorean, as well as Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress, but I haven't been able to read any of his other stuff...something about reading about totally different characters from the same author I seem to have problems with. =P
Anyway, I'm still reading The Complete Book of Swords, no idea of the author, as well as Lord of the Flies for English lit.

Over the weekend I have to finish Reading in the Dark for English Teaching Methods and half of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe for Lit. of Emerging Nations. That's 200+ pages, wish me luck.

I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens for school. I've only gotten to the 5th chapter in Book the First, but I think it'll get very, very good. My whole class is whining about how hard it is, though. 
I'm also reading The Mists of Avalon, at home. It's huge--larger than the later Harry Potter books, probably. But since I've seen the movie, it's not very hard to read or understand. I hope to finish it by the middle of October.
Some books I've recently read are The Year of the Hangman and Politically Correct Bedtime Stories. I didn't find much depth in The Year of the Hangman, but the PC Bedtime Stories were absolutely hilarious. According to it, Little Red Riding Hood did not deliver a basket of fresh fruit and mineral water to her grandmother because it was the womyn's (it never spelled women with an e) work, but rather to build a sense of community.

I'm currently reading Ashling, by Isobelle Carmody. It's a good book, I really need to get around to finishing it.

-Painted Devil by Michael Berard
-Watership Down by Richard Adams

Gosh! I didn't realize how much.
And I just finished three this morning.

And I just finished You Be Me, which is a collection of true teenage friendship stories.
