No sign of rinx in over a week so I'll post this again this week.
I finished up The Gunslinger. It was ok... I'll give the next book in the series a try.
I also started Proxima by Stephen Baxter. I enjoyed the handful of other books of his that I've read and so far this one is off to a good start.
I've just restarted the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I made it halfway through the two towers years ago, but then I ran out of time and they kind of slipped out of memory.
I came across them again in a lovely, higgledy-piggledy second hand bookstore. I bought the first two and am almost finished the Fellowship already :D.
