Recent Reads

The Tales of Beedle the Bard, by JK Rowling - short, easy read, and some illumination on the world of Harry Potter, but I'd recommend for fans of the series only.

The Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner - excellent. I'm looking forward to reading the two follow-ups.

Here Lies Arthur, by Philip Reeve - interesting, but I wouldn't recommend. There are so many Arthur stories out there, and frankly (this could be just me, since this story is so common), it's not compelling to me.
