Have just started Hannibal rising, recently gone back through from beginning the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. I am a big fan of series books I have to say - Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta is a fave of mine.

I am as well, Kirsty. I have read the Lord of the Rings series, have read the first two books of The Iheritance Trilogy (Eragon, Eldest), and have also read the first 4 books of the Song of Ice and Fire. They are all fantasy based reads.

Bushidoman, when I first saw you post that you liked medevil and fantasy books I was going to sugest the Song of Ice and Fire series, but I see you've already read it.
These books are by far my favorite books that I've ever read, and I can read them over and over and over. I simply cannot wait for the next one to be released, and it drives me crazy, hah ha.
If you ever want to discuss it start up a thread, and if you don't I probably will, hah.
As for what I'm reading now, is a series of books called "The Shadows of the Conclave", I think.. Its a trilogy written by Rayond E Feist, that includes many characters from his other works. Its a poor substitute for A Song of Ice and Fire, but its ok.

I didn't mind them, but I think his Riftwar series was the best.

Yeah, I can't wait for the last one as well. It has been a while since I have read the others, so I may have to start up again. There is so much trickery and betrayal, and the author just does things that you do not expect.
My favorite character was Eddard Stark, but he didn't last long. I was hacked about that. Now, though, I'd have to say my favorite is Jon Snow, and he was left out of the last book for the most part, and is supposed to be a focal character in the last book.
It seems to me that there are a lot of ends to tie up, and I would think that this book is either going to be really thick, or he may need one more to get it done.
