Water for Elephants: by Sara Gruen Fast read, really good
Just finished A Tale of Two Cities and Jane Eyre, now working on the entire Chronicles of Narnia...
'The King Must Die' by Mary Renault. Very well researched, this is the fictional autobiography of Theseus the Greek hero. Not bad for 1958 - lots of sex and violence in the Bronze Age Mediterranean.

May Contain Traces of Magic-Tom Holt, when your GPS starts talking and giving you more than directions, you have an interesting problem on your hands. Very British humour.
Also re-reading Mistress of the Empire, whereupon (my role model) Mara of the Acoma has to face off against her deadliest foes, and the entire Assembly of Magicians who wield ultimate power.
Just started The Thin Man, a Christmas gift from hubby, a 1934 second edition! I sooooo wanna be Nora Charles!
