The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene.
Whoa! It's very depressing, though, because of all that heat and the lack of communication. I have to admit that in spite of the vivid scenes I can barely remember the beginning because I read it on the train only. I really like it so far. I haven't read many of Greene's books, and I keep wondering why. At the moment it's not the best idea, though, because his characters are so depressing in their hopelessness.

The Wintersmith. Lovely, lovely book by Terry Pratchett.
I love Tiff and the Nac Mac Feegle. Siiiigh. They are awesome, and they always make me homesick for Scotland. I even like Roland, and I like the fact that Tiff is not really Esk, whom she reminded me of in Wee Free Men.
Some of the jokes he's trying to make are terribly forced, though.

The Power and the Glory -- I need to read that! People are telling me it's oh so good, now I need to see for myself.

It IS good! The internal struggles of the characters in that dramatic situation are really captivating, and I'm guessing you'll be able to appreciate it better than me as main character is a catholic priest, and I'm sometimes a bit at a loss because I can't really identify with his feelings, pig-headed north-Elbian protestant that I am.

*lol* Might be true. Well, then, it's officially on my list of "Books Which I need To Read This Year".
