Twelfth Night is one of my faves at least it's funny, I always wanted to scream at Hamlet, and ended up going to read Rape of the Lock Alexander Pope so full of satire. We studied 9 books in those two years, and man I think our teachers wanted to depress the hell out of us from their choices.

At the moment? Nothing.
But I just finished up Brisingr, Grass for His Pillow, and Epic. Epic is, well, Epic. Maybe it's jsut cause I'm a gamer. And I found Brisingr to be a bit more amusing than the first two, more like Stroud's work. Especially Angela's rant on his sword name. I fell off my bed laughing. Tommorow I'm gonna start on Brilliance of the Moon, which is the third part of the Tales of the Otori. (Grass for His Pillow was the second.)

Cool, I've been meaning to pick it up for a while. I'm now reading Raymond E. Feist's The Magician due to a friend's recommendation, but honestly I'm a little disappointed at the super-Sue Pug and the general lack of depth. I'm only at about page 100, so I'll read on and see how it goes.
