Just finished the Brent Weeks "Night Angel" trilogy. Very cool. Assassins and magic and crap. Loads of violence, and cool plot.
Also just finished World War Z. rough ridin' good book. Very different. It's a "historical" account of a Zombie apocalypse. Will be a movie next year with Brad Pitt.
I am now starting the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Very highly rated, and I like to read series where the entire series is done, so I don't have to rough ridin' wait around for the next books (god damn you George R. R. Martin, GO DAMN YOU!).
