Currently on The Cleric Quintet by R.A. Salvatore. I also went to Borders and picked up the first book in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Saga.

Is Magic Realism considered in this thread??

I love the works of South American writers like GG Marquez, Isabel Allende, and especially Jorge Luis Borges. In one of my lit classes I realized that my native land has much more in common with South America than say Indonesia or Malaysia or even Japan, and it stuck me that my country has never produced lit like theirs.

I stopped being a Potter fan years ago, but reading for reading's sake I borrowed the last three HPs. I did not enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the first four during my childhood. Sad, really, considering HP and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first book my dad bought me for my eleventh birthday.
