I didn't say it wasn't entertaining :-) I love what captivates my little pea brain, and the old massive epic poems DO if they are translated well. They open up a very different world, very enjoyable - that is why I like them. Of course, Dostoevsky is my favorite all-time author so that probably says something.
I've read some of the Harry Dresden novels and enjoyed them, that is another author I want to read more of. I am really looking forward to the combination of Pratchett and Gaim, two of my favorite more modern authors. I recently read Gaim's "Neverwhere" and found it, well, astoundingly good!
I am also finishing up Barbara Cleverly's Bright Hair About the Bone, the second of the Leatitia Talbot Mysteries. Enjoyable, and there is always a bit of tie into history in her books, at least the ones I've so far read.
