Matthew Swift sounds fascinating. Alas, my local library system probably doesn't have it, and I'm reluctant to actually spend any significant amount of money on books unless I just have to have them.
Which reminds me - has anybody read a series called The Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher? I've heard fantastic things about it (at least, from book 3 onwards), but the aforementioned reluctance to spend money keeps nagging at me.
And lastly, I got the second book in A Song of Ice and Fire. Maybe it's just that I'm more familiar with the characters and thus less horribly confused about who's who, but this one seems better somehow - though I can't quite put my finger on why. In any case, I'm loving it (especially with a thousand-and-some pages to read . . . *drool*).
