One om my favorite authors is Chuck Palahniuk. He´s behind Fight Club which i reckon is his most famous release yet.

Can honeslty say Hobb has written all off my top 3 books of all times.
Like the new one "Shamans crossing", maybe a little to much off indian in it, but who cares :P
I geuss The Asssasin apprentice is about an assasin is the first book if it is a series?

I need something to read while i wait for Rain Falls and Killing Rain.

Currently reading Quicksilver, but I nominate Ender's Game is preferable book to read.

In Quicksilver, the first volume of the "Baroque Cycle," Neal Stephenson launches his most ambitious work to date. The novel, divided into three books, opens in 1713 with the ageless Enoch Root seeking Daniel Waterhouse on the campus of what passes for MIT in eighteenth-century Massachusetts. Daniel, Enoch's message conveys, is key to resolving an explosive scientific battle of preeminence between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over the development of calculus. As Daniel returns to London aboard the Minerva, readers are catapulted back half a century to recall his years at Cambridge with young Isaac. Daniel is a perfect historical witness. Privy to Robert Hooke's early drawings of microscope images and with associates among the English nobility, religious radicals, and the Royal Society, he also befriends Samuel Pepys, risks a cup of coffee, and enjoys a lecture on Belgian waffles and cleavage-—all before the year 1700.
Good stuff by Neal Stephenson, also did Cryptonomicon, Snowcrash, Diamond Age, and more.

Most of the rest of the books have something to do with Lestat.
