PhelanArcetus Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 About a third of the way through Rules of Ascension, book 1 of Winds of the Forelands, by David Coe. Not so sure about this one. Unless it takes a major turn downhill, I'll finish it, but I don't know if I'll want to read more. After this I've got one more book on the shelf, then a big order to put in. Damn hardcovers being both large and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Paths Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just finished Midnight Tides by Erikson, with the inferior U.S. cover. I've seen a lot of different opinions on this one even among fans of the series, but in short I liked it and will read the next installment. Next on my pile is Marvel 1602 by Gaiman, which I picked up for 2 bucks recently at a used book sale. I'm not a big reader of Marvel comics but love Gaiman's Sandman, so I figure there's a good chance I'll like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow's Eye Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. Can't decide if I like it or not. First half was 'blah' all the way, but the second book is much better. Jury's still out, though. I plan to pick up Lynch's 'lamora' book from the library on the way home from work. I will certainly start that before I finish Quicksilver.

Arbor Gold Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just started A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. This is the same guy who wrote The Kite Runner. I'm intrigued to read about female relationships in Afghanistan during the Soviet/Taliban eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vethnar Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I started reading Consider Phlebas, my very first Iain M. Banks novel, a couple of days ago. I have read about 80 pages and am not very excited so far, but I am sure it will improve later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Read A Coin for the Ferryman by Rosemary Rowe, then read all nine of the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher. They were pretty good. The first book was a little corny, but the series only seems to get better as it progresses. Very light and entertaining read, yet mangaes to be serious at the same time. Characters and background develop even as the story as each book maintains a certain formula. Definitely worth reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellis Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just started A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. This is the same guy who wrote The Kite Runner. I'm intrigued to read about female relationships in Afghanistan during the Soviet/Taliban eras. Oooh, i didn't really love Kite Runner, but I heard him reading from this and discussing it on NPR the other day. Please remember to report back on it!

saint777 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm about two thirds of the way through both On Stranger Tides and Anno Dracula. I just started to read The Atrocity Archives and about one quater of the way through The Drawing of the Dark. I would like to finish all these books before Reaper's Gale drops in my mailbox at the end of the month. So far all the books are good with Anno Dracula my favorite.

duckman Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 So, what's everybody reading this month? I'm about 150 pages into Red Seas Under Red Skies by Lynch. So far so good. I'm at page 260 and it just keeps getting better. I'm actually liking it more than LoLL. Have you had a chance to read Chiang's 'The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate' yet? I really want to get my hands on a copy and can't wait for it to get published this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not read anything by him, but with his rep, I'm really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
