Watership Down is a great book.  They did a cartoon adaptation of it back in the late 70's or early 80's, which is not really intended for young audiences but is a must see.

I just finished reading 'A Thousand Sons: All is Dust' the other day.  I really feel bad at what happened to Magnus the Red.  He misunderstood the Great Ocean and his father maybe misunderstood him and his intentions. 

As a result I really don't like Leman Russ and the Space Wolves.  They're uneducated beasts. 

Next up on my list: Nemesis by James Swallow

I'm still working my way through The Bruce Trilogy.  Not great but not bad.

About 40% through Quo Vadis on my kindle (strictly lunchtime reading).

I have Tigana queued up next.

I go through two books a week, on average. Just finished "Infamous" by Ace Atkins, which was good enough to get me to start another one of his works,

Just really cracked it open but very interesting in so much as that I've read. Surprises me somewhat that the topic hasn't been more focused upon in the recent past (oh...say the last 5-10 yrs.) by other Elizabethan scholars. However, considering the amount of negative press Obama and his admin. are receiving of late (especially the NSA), it does seem a very timely book.

In short worth getting, especially so if you are enamored with that period in history as I am!

(BTW, you would also love "The Gods of Gotham"...somehow methinks you have a special fondness for this period and locale.)

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
