I've maxed out my library card (12 books). It might take a few renewals to get around to reading these...
"The Confusion" - Neal Stephenson (Vol.2 of The Baroque Cycle, still got 350 pages to read of "Quicksilver", which is Vol.1).
"The Dark Tower" - Stephen King (still got 3½ books to read before I reach this).
The first two books in Manda Scott's Boudicca series
"Bad Influence" - William Sutcliffe
"Dune" - Frank Herbert
"Gene" - Stel Pavlou
"Weaveworld" - Clive Barker
"Raffles" - E.W.Hornung
On audiobook:
"Snow Falling on Cedars" - David Guterson
"Atonement" - Ian McEwan
"Native Tongue" - Carl Hiaasen

Well, me and Ice finally got our acts together and went to get signed up at the library. In preparation for this, I thought I'd write up a little list of books that I might want to get out .... I stopped when I reached thirty 
Apparantly there are many more books to be considered when I dont have to worry about price (or the fact that they are hardback).
Anyways, off we troop down to the local library (one of the biggest in the county I might add) ... how many did you think I found?? Yup, thats right, a whopping one!! Admittedly we were pressed for time so I kind of ran round, but nevertheless I was slightly miffed .. it also reminded me about precisely why libraries can be a bit of a pain, they have the book you want
Anyways, I came away with ..
Felaheen by Jon Courtenay Grimwood - Woohoo, third in the bloody excellent Arabesk series, and the only one on my list that I found
A Certain Chemistry by Mil Millington - I absolutely love his hilarious website, so I thought I'd give one of his novels a try - kudos to Martin for tuning me into this guy in the first place.

PS: Okay, so I fibbed a little, I did find others on my list, an extremely manky dog-eared copy of Stephen King's The Stand that I didnt have the heart to take home, plus a couple of extremely large hardbacks that I could've got. Do they make books even bigger in the library somehow?? It seems to me that they were all very large - maybe its all the laminating
