SkynJay Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Reading The Jackal of Nar by John Marco. So far, average. Easy reading, but not reaching out to grab me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonica Stormborn Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I finally got a copy of Lindsay Buroker's Conspiracy so I'll read that next. Did not read one bit last weekend so I'm stuck with The Fires of Heaven - time to power through this book, seriously. Then I would stay away from WoT for a good while before pushing through with Lord of Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallman2790 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Reading Dune now, trying to decide if I should read the 3rd Malazan book or start the Lymond Chronicles next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manderlay Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I will be reading the first book from the Shiva trilogy series, The Immortals of Meluha, also I am getting Dan Brown's Inferno and would later read Robin Cook's Nano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowborn Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Aw shit, I was going to read Prince of Thorns next too :laugh: I do that a lot, just pick whatever book off the shelf that jumps out at me. Planning ahead is futile :PI had to leave Prince of Thorns for another time. :lol: I'm reading The Lies of Locke Lamora now, this time I got more into the story so I'm going to finish it. I like it a lot, Locke is great, and I just got to the part where he meets... someone important. When I tried to read it like a month ago I couldn't pay too much attention to it. It was just a post-Abercrombie thing, after reading his six amazing books, I found it hard to get hooked into another fantasy series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterOJ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Reading The Jackal of Nar by John Marco. So far, average. Easy reading, but not reaching out to grab me.I read that book years ago and loved it. I have a feeling that if I read it again today, I would be much less impressed. I finished out that series and started Marco's next God's Armor or somesuch, and found it unreadable.

Garett Hornwood Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Finished Alison Weir's The Princes in the Tower, the less I say how disappointed I was with this book the better.Today started Last Argument of Kings can't wait to see how Joe Abercrombie completes the trilogy.

Serious Callers Only Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Finished Rachel Neumeier House of shadows.Ok, a bit too neat at the end. On the other hand, possibly a setting that will be used again, since there are a few dropped threads relating to the mage apprentice character.

deleted01 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Have to agree about the comment about The Great Gatsby - I had to study it for English Lit, and 'unimpressed' is definitely the word for how I felt.I bought Best Served Cold today, and have a question - is there an order in which I should read these? I've read The Blade Itself and plan on finishing the trilogy after the book I'm currently reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I bought Best Served Cold today, and have a question - is there an order in which I should read these? I've read The Blade Itself and plan on finishing the trilogy after the book I'm currently reading.The order of the books is The First Law, Best Served Cold, The Heroes and Red Country. Although the last three are standalones in terms of their main plots they do all feature characters from the previous books so reading them in order does work best.

Isis Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Still in reading fail mode. Started at least half a dozen books in the past two months, yet to finish any of them. :(I am enjoying a book about yeast (brewing) though and also Quiet... which I picked up a rec for on here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Dog Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 My Amazon order for "Lies of Locke Lamora" has just shipped, so now this weekend I'll be starting that. Very excited, as there's a lot of good things said about this book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 The newest Sookie Stackhouse book came out recently, and I should come back to it next Tuesday. They're my guilty pleasures :P Haven't read any more in the last few days as I was finishing off uni work. But now I'm done and can read until my heart's content!

The Wolves Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I started reading The Princess Bride so far it's good. I seen the movie first so I'm mentally trying to separate the two. But the person who wrote the book also did the move so..... But I just finished Frankenstein and its different I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rody Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have way too many books on my Google Books shelf and I've yet to read most of them.I've started Casual Vacancy and The Mongoliad: Book Two and have stopped reading them both, don't know why.What I will start now and finish will be The Painted(Warded) Man though, however I did start reading American Gods a few weeks ago.

Lord Lymond Lychester Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Almost done Ender's Game, I'm liking it, it's a cool idea having this school of kids training to be war commanders, and having power over other students in the school. Kind of like Hogwarts for space battle, except better.But I've been thinking about what to read next, I'm in the mood for something epic and I was thinking maybe The Stand by Stephen King or maybe the LOTR series (I've never read it or been too interested, just figured I should get it under my belt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
