Reading Pile

I guess most avid book readers have the same problem.. too many nice looking books and too few hours in the day .

My current 'to read' pile contains a few possible gems but a fair amount of so-so material (hence it's status as read later rather than read NOW)

Next up is
The Iron Council by China Mieville - a modern fantasy writer with a unique style.

Below that we have
Alistair Reynolds - Absolution Gap
John Courtney Grimwood - Effendi ; Stamping Butterflies ; Red Robe ; Remix
Richard Morgan - Broken Furies
Robin Hobb - MAd Ships Trilogy ; Fools Errand Trilogy
Iain M Banks - The Algebraist
Ken MacLeod - The Sky Road
Simon Scarrow - The Eagle and whatever (I don't think this is high on my list do you ?)
Bernard Cornwell - Sharpe's Havoc ; Sharpe's Escape
George Macdonald Fraser - Flahsman and the Tiger.
Michael Scott Rohan - Winter of the World (6 books ooops)
Dan Simmons - Illium ; Hard Freeze
Walter Jon Williams - Praxis
Neal Stephenson - Quicksilver
Robert Harris - Pompei
Robert Jordan - Crossroads of Twilight (I've all but given up on this series - will it never end ?)
