I've just finished "Allotted Time, Twelve Months, Two Blocks, One Shed, No Idea" by Robin Shelton which has been lent to me by Seedling. Very good read and makes me feel like I really do know something about allotment gardening!

At the mo, Candace Robb, The Cross Legged Knight.
I read loads of historical stuff. I read every night and get through around 6-10 books a month.
My other favourites are:
Stephen Donaldson - The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever
Tolkien - Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
Marion Zimmer Bradley - The Mists of Avalon
Anything by Lyndsey Davis, Candace Robb or anything set in ancient Rome, Greece, Britain
and others too numerous to mention
