But right now as I've read all the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms books that I've found from the local library, I started reading "Tales of the Otori". Pretty interesting, it takes place in a fantasy world closely resembling 13th century Japan. Its more mature than Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms but it's pretty interesting...
Here's what wiki knows about it for anyone interested:

Tales of the Otori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another Salvatore fan on the forums? Cool I'm currently reading Road of the Patriarch and I'm highly intrigued by it. The entire Sellswords series has entertained me a lot more than the last Drizzt books. Perhaps I grew tired of it a bit, after all, it can be a bit predictable in the end, you know who wins since there's always a new book coming anyway. "The Spine of The World" I found an extremely good book as well, focusing on Wulfgar a lot and on new characters. It was both the most brutal and most humane book of the series, it completely refreshed my interest.

I still have The Cleric's Quintet here as well, untouched, bought from a friend who didn't feel like the series anymore. I'm reading these books because I've had a high interest in the Forgotten Realms ever since Baldur's Gate 2 and because there's not that many good fantasy games on the market.

As for The Pirate King, in this book I have here it says it's scheduled for October 2008, are you reading localised versions, or does your library simply not have it in stock yet, Radix? I buy all of them, I love having a collection for display, even though my GF begs me to read something other than fantasy books
