IceBlade Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. I've read both of her other trilogies 3 times apiece, and it's pretty awesome to discover some answers to things I had always wondered about in the latter Farseer trilogy. -Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristopher Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Just finished Song of Susannah by King. Do yourself a favor and stop right there. I just got done reading 'Gasping for Airtime' by Jay Mohr. It's a really neat look behind the scenes of how Saturday Night Live is put together.

tijobo Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The last book I read before starting my master's paper was John Irving's Until I Find You, I have read all of his books and besides GRRM he is my favorite. Well that and a few others, Tolkien, Llewyllen, McMurtry, Lawhead... tjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moot Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Put aside everything to read AFfC. Just under 500 pages in after 3 days. I was hoping to finish tonight, but, well, laundry must be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade1066 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Imperial Grunts by Robert Kaplan. Pretty good so far. The chapter on the Philippines is great! I spent about 6 years there on and off, and he really takes me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havallah Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 While waiting for AFFC, I have been going through old series that I remember enjoying; however, they are not as I imagined. The latest was Angus Well's Ashar? trilogy, but I only slogged through the first two. GRRM has ruined my enjoyment of most other authors. sigh.

Wade1066 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'm rereading The Briar King, after which comes The Charnel Prince (for the first time). Then I may go back to slogging through The Baroque Cycle again. Nearly a year, and I've barely started The Confusion. For class, I'm reading: The Culture of the Babylonian Talmud and The One Best System. I really liked the Briar King. Charnel Prince was better. Can't wait for the third book.

Render Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I recently finished Ilium by Dan Simmons. It seemed strange at first, but it really gets interesting. Also, I took The Siege of Derry by Patrick Macrory out from the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Persisting with a selective re-read of WOT. Mrs Stubby has AFFC at the moment so I will have another, more detailed, go at it thereafter. I also have Flight of the Nighthawks to get on to and am otherwise saving for more purchases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Snow Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Anno-Dracula by Kim Newman (Cause' StegoKing said so) It's very good, but I doubt I'll finish it by Tuesday, when I get my grubby hands on AFFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrist Simon Steele Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I Am Legend by R. Matheson, seems pretty good. I will follow it up with Matheson's Hell House. This guy has a lot of movies based on his work. Now what about this Paolenni guy? Anyone heard of him? I guess he's the big thing right now, books about dragons...I bought the first one but won't get to it for awhile (Matheson, then Jordan, then Paolleni or however you spell it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhelanArcetus Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Would have read it a while ago, but previous trip to the store I got Endymion instead. /bonk self. Since I won't buy hardcover, I get the fun of trying to get Feast from the library. As well as Knife of Dreams. And a bunch of other random books that the store never has.

perspicacious Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I Am Legend by R. Matheson, seems pretty good. I will follow it up with Matheson's Hell House. This guy has a lot of movies based on his work. Now what about this Paolenni guy? Anyone heard of him? I guess he's the big thing right now, books about dragons...I bought the first one but won't get to it for awhile (Matheson, then Jordan, then Paolleni or however you spell it) I am Legend is an awesome book. I read it in a class I took last semester on vampire lit. (That class rocked, we got to watch the whole first season of Buffy in it!) I heard they are goign to make a new film version of I am Legend starring Will Smith, but they are completely changing it around. Oh well. And as for Eragon/Eldest...Umm...I guess you made a nice investment in a particularly large paperweight? As far as I'm concerned, that's the worst fantasy book I've ever half-read-then-thrown-down-in-disust. But, maybe you'll like it! Then you can start a thread and we can engage in spirited debate. Speaking of bad fantasy, I am just about to finish the first book in Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory's Obsidian Trilogy. It's horrible, awful, and hilarious. My friend had me read it because she actually likes it, but I'm enjoying for completely different reasons. It has all of the elements that make bad fantasy so much fun to read, and to make fun of. As of tomorrow, however, I"ll be completely concentrated on AffC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceBannon42 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce. I've never been a big fan of contemporary fantasy, but I'm enjoying it so far. Also reading: A Crisis on Infinite Earths TPB just to bone up for Infinate Crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
