From deep in the comment thread of the last post, we have the following question:

If you're willing to share, I'm just curious -- how many of the favorites/current reading listed by other folks have you already read?

Well, let's see...

Storm Front, Jim Butcher
entire eight books of the wizard series by Diane Duane
Sorcery and Cecilia, Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer
Arabella, Georgette Heyer

I have tried random Pratchetts -- and, I'm sorry, but I Just Don't Get It.  No sense of humor, me.

Ditto, Gaiman.

And, having read the first Niccolo, after which I was depressed for a month, I have strong doubts that I'll ever seek out the Lymond books, though many people whose taste I respect adore them.

and touchstone books....

Could you explain what it's about to me, please (no, this is not a joke)?
