Struggling through Goodkind's final book, Confessor.  Can't wait until it's over.  This is the last book that I'll ever have to read when I want to spit on it and throw it into a wood chipper.

Just finished The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie.  Quite good.  Not really any climax/resolution but I'm ready for the next two in the trilogy.

Figure I'll dive into the Dune series next.  Have only ever read Dune (first book) and apparently the series was just recently finished.  One of the few sci-fi/fantasy epics that I haven't tried to get into yet.

Not sure if you want to read Ruins of Ambrai.  It's part of a "trilogy" that hasn't been finished yet.  Been that way for a number of years now, with (as far as I am aware) no end in sight.  Good luck.

I do realize that but, I've read it before so it's not so bad.  Thanks for the heads up though.
