Wras Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just finished The Wise Man's Fear. Loved it.A friend of mine passed away, and he was a big fan of the Dark Tower series. I got to book 5, but in his memory I'll resume, perhaps even restart, my quest for the Tower.I'm also reading Camelot: Cultural Revelation or something, about the assassination of JFK. Eh...

TheEvilKing Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Currently still reading Fall of Thanes by Brian Ruckley, which is taking ages.Also about half way through Homicide by David Simon. Very good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eponine Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Finally finished all the books I was struggling with, now reading The Anubis Gates. Fun and fast but not incredibly incredible so far.A list and single paragraph opinions about the books I've read from Jan-March this year. Most of them I've posted about in the monthly threads, but I like to let some time go by before giving a final opinion. (Iron Council went up in my opinion after I'd sat on it for a while, and The Windup Girl went down).http://wp.me/pxOgG-5B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly Headless Ned Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Really enjoy his prose style and was impressed with his prediction of flat screen,interactive, reality tv. Deservedly called a classic.On to The City and The City by China Mieville.

Former Lord of Winterfell Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Jim Butcher's Changes, and Unbroken, about an Olympic athlete captured by the Japanese during WWII. Amazingly, the guy is in his 90's now and doing book tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gormenghast Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Lots of time taken by Tor.com Malazan reread.Instead I should be finishing The Darkness that Comes Before.I'm also reading leisurely Janny Wurts The Curse of the Mistwraith. I knew nothing of this series of 11 books (planned). It was never mentioned in any blog or forum I read even if all other reviews I read praised it.Especially for the prose which was even criticized because it's even too good for its own sake. I read the first 50 pages and it doesn't seem hard to read.Anyone read this? Why the series seems to be completely unknown or unpopular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read up to the last one. For a stand alone book you might try Wurts' To Ride Hell's Chasm. The hero in this one reminds me of Dunnett's Lymond.

Jodan Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Wahington: A Life by Prof Ron Chernow, only 10 pages in so can't comment yet. As a Brit, I know hardly anything about this disobedient colonial rebel traitor( ;) ), makes a change to the Prime Minster biography kick I've been on in recent years. It's 1000+ pages in hardback so I'm part considering it as training for ADWD. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBlazer Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I just got an ARC for Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding from Graeme's blog, so I'm really excited. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Retribution is the first in the series? I assume it briefly went out of print then?I'm also reading Dragon's Path by Abraham and Multireal by Edelman.

Sir Thursday Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just got an ARC for Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding from Graeme's blog, so I'm really excited. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Retribution is the first in the series? I assume it briefly went out of print then?I'm also reading Dragon's Path by Abraham and Multireal by Edelman.I've got a regular MMPB of Retribution Falls on my reading stack...you sure you're getting an ARC?Just finished reading Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair - very whimsical, I liked it. It was also educational, because I've never actually read or learnt anything about Jane Eyre, so this one gave me a crash course :P.Next up, I've a choice between Surface Detail, the aforementioned Retribution Falls, and steeling myself to finish off the Malazan books...need to actually finish Dust of Dreams...ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released in the UK a couple of years ago, but I don't think it had an especially small print run or anything. Enjoy it; it's a very fun book :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
