RedEyedGhost Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I finished up MultiReal by David Louis Edelman. It ended quite impressively, and I'm looking forward to the final volume. I'll write more when I have time.I'm about 1/4 of the way through Darker Angels by MLN Hanover (Daniel Abraham). It's good so far, but like the last one it's not The Long Price good.This month I'm planning to read Graham Joyce's Memoirs of a Master Forger: by William Heaney, Ken Scholes Lamentation, and Paul Melko's The Walls of the Universe in that order.

Young Lady Of Lannister Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm about halfway through Crime and Punishment - and have been for at least a month I'm afraid. Also I'm halfway through Robin Hobb's book "Shaman's Crossing". It's good so far, but Nevare's no Fitz. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I finished Sheepfarmer's Daughter by Elizabeth Moon. I have no idea what I'll read next. I'm tempted by China Miéville's latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Paisley Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm reading Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre's first FANTOMAS novel at the moment, and this has inspired me to stay one step ahead of myself by not knowing what I'm going to read next. Seeing as how it's October, I'll go looking for jollies in the Horror section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastimancer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've got Pynchon's Inherent Vice on standby as I read The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak. The Barzak is a decent story so far, but the prose kind of meanders around the scale. At times the prose is beautiful and at others it never rises above workmanlike, and sometimes it is just flat and dull. Not too far into the book though, so it has plenty of time to improve.

Guinevere Seaworth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Order in Chaos by Jack WhyteCanadian author doncha know :)I'm curious what you think of the concluding novel of the trilogy once you are finished. I've read the first book, and the second is in the TBR pile.I'm about 50 pages into Ysabel by G.G Kay. Up next is probably Robin Hobb's Soldier Son trilogy.

mashiara Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I read Twelve by Jasper Kent. While the idea and the setting seemed interesting at first, this book bored me. I really wasn't that interested in it after a while, there was no spark in it. The story itself did not come off as believable at all. I won't say I wasn't warned, because Beniowa did warn me, but I was disappointed.Earlier today I finished reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. What an amazing book, I just couldn't put it down. It made me cringe, it made me hurt deep inside, it left me depressed but seriously impressed with the writing. This book is going to stay with me for a while, I think. Chilling, bleak and totally worth reading.Since the time comes closer, I might as well do a bit of rereading. I'll read Crossroads of Twilight next, followed by Knife of Dreams. I contemplated rereading the whole WoT series but I last did this two years ago, I just don't feel I need to do it again right now.

ljkeane Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm getting somewhat excited about the prospect of a new Wheel of Time book for the first time in a while. So I've ordered the first book of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy to see whether I like his writing style and I'll probably reread Knife of Dreams as well.

Deornoth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Finished reading C.L. Anderson's 'Bitter Angels' where a secret agent must get to the bottom of a murder mystery (that could be so much more) in a solar system edging towards either self destruction or declaring all out war on everyone else. I loved the concept but the glacial pace really turned me off, especially in terms of what it did to the main character... My full review is over Here. I'm now well into 'Unseen Academicals'...

K_P Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just finished The Quiet War by McAuley. The writing flowed pretty well, decent characters and setting. I just never connected with it though - not sure why, all the elements were there.Now starting Legend by David Gemmell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookWyrm Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 :grouphug: Hang in there!Aw thanks!I'm actually having a blast so far, though the work is a lot. It's a good feeling to have when you get a paper back with a big A that you've actually earned (as opposed to getting an A in high school).It's a validating experience.Back on topic though, I actually am reading one pleasure book, but only in bits and pieces when I can, it's still Darrell Schweitzer's The Mask of the Sorcerer. In some ways I'm thankful for being forced to slow my reading pace down. After a long day of work, it is nice to sit by Schweitzer's narrative fire and just listen to his creepy threads. I will regret it when that one burns out, but I'll be picking up more of his books for sure.I really hope one day the public will recognize him for the writer he really is, it would be damn good for them.*Also, I will be interviewing Darrell Schweitzer soon (probably over the phone) and if any experienced interviewers could give me some pearls of wisdom in a PM you would have my gratitude.Happy reading everyone!!

kcf Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I should finish up Canticle by Ken Scholes tonight - it's a great follow-up to a good debut. After that I'll probably start Eyes Like Leaves by Charles de Lint. Of course I'll jump on The Gathering Storm the second it arrives in the mail - I'm still hoping that it arrives a day or two early (maybe I should try some more sweet talk to Dot over at Tor).
