Just finished:
1. Land of Laughs, Jonathan Carroll (not too bad)
2. Packing for Mars, Mary Roach (dull, surprisingly, until she got to the part about 'contributions' (aka human crap), which is towards the end of the book)
3. Among Others, Jo Walton (pleasant, and not what i expected)

Now polishing off Dance with Dragons and the incredibly dull/difficult (but can't leave it unfinished!) The Traitor by Michael Cisco.
