What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

@joost: I have been to three libraries in the last couple of weeks and not one has a single Mary Gentle book! I'll continue to keep a look-out.

Terrible libraries!

Must-reads by Mary Gentle, by genre:

Alternate history:
- Ash, a secret history (one of the best books I've ever read. Genre)
- Ilario (you should read Ash first, because this takes place in the same universe as Ash)
- 1610, a sundial in a grave

Fantasy/Science fiction:
- Orthe, the chronicles of Carrick V

Humour (think Terry Pratchett):
Grunts (Orcs are the heroes, hobbits are dirty thieves, elves are racist bastards)

The other books I've read (White crow and Cartomancy) are good but not great.
