LOTR The Two Towers, and I'm gonna read Messenger by Lois Lowry after that.

(Wait, is it true that there was a sequel for The Giver?)

I have just read the Hickory Staff by Robert Scott & Jay Gordon.

I am now reading the second book in the series, Lessk's Key and will read the final book in the trilogy The Larion Senators.

After I have finished that trilogy I have got another final book for a different trilogy called Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. Once I have read that I have The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Nice lot of books for me to read :D

Heh, I've heard of that book.

Reading the Septimus Heap series. By Angie Sage
Unfinished Tales - Tolkien and son

OMG I'm going into a state of hyper-Tolkien fandom right now! It started with me rereading the Silmarillion, then I played 5 hours of Battle for Middle-Earth 2 on Easter, and now I'm obsessed with following the state of the Hobbit movies! Yay! More to come!

Two Eggs on My Plate - Oluf Reed Olsen
True story about a bloke who was a member of the Norwegian resistance in WW2. Very, very good book, but rather hard to find now.

Is it two eggs because one egg is never an oeuf (say it aloud if you don't get it)

Har har.
It's called that because eggs were so hard to get hold of in WW2, the Norwegian resistance were given them as a treat in their base in England right before being deployed. If you were served eggs (generally two, because that's a good number of eggs) it meant you were being deployed (by parachute, probably) that night.

Yes, The Messenger is the sequel to the sequel, actually.

Reading parody of Lord of the Rings, Bored of the Rings. Funny.

And Flowers For Algernon, by Daniel Keys. It's very frightening. And the ending's sad.
A book on Meditatons on Tolkien, called, coincidentally enough, Meditations on Tolkien!
