What are you reading now?

[blackest_knight]

I understand. Where are you for the summer, btw?

Oh, I finished Thunder Rift. I read some other book that I got from the Library (I can't remember the title....it was something like "Why They Didn't Call When They Said They Would") and am currently reading Orson Scott Card's Enchantment. (It's a fantasy that has Baba Yaga in it!)

[Kietedan]

I'm in Guelph at my g/f Katie's parent's place. I don't really have a gaming group around here, so I'm stuck reading.

I finished R.A. Salvatore's Cleric Quintet. It was really good. I don't know why he doesn't do more stuff like that rather than beating Drizzt to death.

That and Master of Whitestorm by Janny Wurts. It wasn't a bad read, but it could have had better continuity. It seemed more like a bunch of short stories strung together rather than a novel.

Oh and has anyone realized how horrible it is to need to type: Moby D1ck in order to list the Title of Herman Melville's classic on my reading list? Someone has to fix that censor.

[blackest_knight]

ok, the censor's fixed (or it should be)

I finished Enchantment...it was a really good read. I might start The Golden Cat by Gabriel King....but I just found out that it's a sequel to another book, so I might not. We'll see.

[Kietedan]

oh and I picked up high moon I think it is by david gemmel but as its part of a series I think I'll wait until I have the rest of the series in my possession to consume it.

[blackest_knight]

I started the Golden Cat, but decided I didn't want to read it atm. So I read a Dragonlance book (The Dargonesti) which was pretty good, and have just started Summon the Keeper by Tanya Huff.

What do you think of Eddings, btw? I've only read a few of his books, but I enjoyed them. (I know a lot of ppl online that absolutely hate his stuff)

[thepoorman]

I just finished reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Awesome book.

Now I'm sort of re-reading the Preacher comic series, and may plunge through my H.P. Lovecraft collection again.

[Kietedan]

Fisrt of all I finished Eddings, Secondly, I can't get enough of his work. . . and to the Poorman . . . Can I borrow your H.P.Lovecraft collection this year???

[thepoorman]

Sure. I don't have much, but you can borrow it all.

[The Diety]

I've been working my way through Dianetics right now(L Ron Hubbard ain't that dynamic though as far as writing style) but that lead to pick up "The Rose of The Prophet"(this is name of the trilogy) by Weis and Hickman and I must say impressive so far.

I also recommend "The Island of The Sequined Love Nun" by Christopher Moore, for anyone whose enjoyed any Douglas Adams-estque zany writings.

[blackest_knight]

I finished the Tanya Huff book (which was pretty good) and have since started both the anthology the Secrets of Magic, and Changeling: the Dreaming

I'll also have to keep an eye out for "The Island of The Sequined Love Nun" by Christopher Moore....I really enjoyed Douglas Adams

[blackest_knight]

other than this year's batch of text books, I've skimmed through Hunter: the Reckoning. I'm hoping to read Exile's Honour and Exile's Valor (both by Mercedes Lackey) asap!

[Kietedan]

H.P Lovecraft!!!!!! (and Catherine Bush, Russel Smith, etc.)

[blackest_knight]

i NEEDED to read a novel the other night, so I read another chapter in a Storm of Swords.

[blackest_knight]

This weekend, I read Exile's Honour!!!!!!!! I loved it; it was so good!

[Kietedan]

I just finished "Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula LeGuin. It was an odd sort of SF novel. Nevertheless it's worth reading at least once.
