Reviews will start appearing again, promise! It hasn't helped though that 'The City' seems to be turning into a book that promises much if you keep reading but doesn't deliver on that. I'm far enough in now that I'm going to push on for the end but it hasn't exactly been fun reading in the meantime...
So what have I got for you today then? Well, I've been mooching around a couple of second hand bookshops today and realised that I'm actually closer than I think to completing my Fantasy Masterworks collection. The list is below and will be a handy thing for me to refer back to when I'm tempted by Amazon (which happens most lunchtimes). If it's bold then I have it, bold and italics mean that I've read it (although there aren't too many of those. It's been fun collecting these books, now I'm turning my thoughts to collecting the old SF Masterworks. We'll see what happens there...

There's a few more still to get but that's not bad going at all :o) If I get this new job, interviewed for it today, then maybe I'll treat myself to a couple more.
I know I keep saying this but the plan is still to read my way through this series. Anyone have a particular title that they would like me to start off on?
