Not updating with new votes right now, but I'll add a few more.

Rice, Anne - Mayfair 6
Dickens - Christmas Carol 7 (it's kind of fantasy)
Latest Release: Echoes of Angels

NEW site mattlarkin.net - author of the Skyfall Era and Relics of Requiem Books

Superfluous Crow

Some recent readings:

First Law Trilogy - Abercrombie, Joe: 9. Very entertaining series. A very good read if you need a break from some of the more hardcore works.

Last Wish - Zapkowski, Andrzej: 7. The story of the Witcher. Interesting if not overwhelmingly so.

The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray - Wooding, Chris: 8. Pretty good, although not particularly deep (which might be a requirement for some).  

Hunter's Moon - Devereux, David: 5: Decent, but seeing as it is supposed to be fantasy-ish there wasn't near enough supernatural stuff involved. The villain ended up using plain old brainwashing. Some very cool magic objects in it though.

By the way, can i boost my Mieville - Bas-Lag rating from 7 to 8?

EDIT: Ah, just noticed the "no updating" post. So nevermind the boost.
Currently...
Writing: Broken Verge v. 207
Reading: the Black Sea: a History by Charles King
Watching: Farscape and Arrested Development

I think the no updating post was saying no editing old posts to update your votes. This is because I had no way of knowing and thus changing the rankings.

If you believe it's important enough to change your vote, a new post is fine. And it's helpful when, like yours, it says change it from X to Y so I don't have to scan through four pages to find the old one (to recalculate totals).

But since I'm not currently updating the totals, it's all kind of moot ;)
