RedEyedGhost Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well you all know what to do. So I'll get it started: I'm still working on Ragamuffin by Tobias Buckell. It's a loose follow-up to Crystal Rain. The focus of this book is completely different from that of Crystal Rain, and I'm liking what Buckell is doing very much. He's definitely building an interesting and complex universe. This month I plan on reading: Midnight Tides by Erikson Mr. Punch by Gaiman The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams The Shotgun Rule by Charlie Huston and if I have time I'll start Bonehunters by Erikson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerec Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm re-reading Watership Down by Richard Adams at the moment. Fantastic book. Loved it when I read it some 6-7 years back, inspired by the recent thread on this board. The copy is so beat up, though. The pages are yellowed, the cover is torn and has dog-eared corners, and the back cover is gone completely. If it were my copy it would be in much better condition. Ah well. My reading queue... A Crown of Swords - Robert Jordan The Crippled Angel - Sara Douglass Dune - Frank Herbert More on those later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Finished yesterday The Terror by Dan Simmon. Good book. A bit depressing, but very realistic with a quite odd ending but I like it. Now back to a more positive stuff - fantasy I started to read HP for the first time. Only one chapter so far but my first impression is very positive. Easy going and entertaining. I like her style so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint777 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Finished: Forbidden Knowledge(Gap#2) by Donaldson: Better than the first novel. Very intense stuff. Reading: Starfish by Watts Prador Moon by Asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Finished A Betrayal in Winter. Wrote about it on my just started blog. Now reading The Second Empire by Paul Kearney, fourth book the Monarchies of God series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageGuy Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Went to a couple bookstores on Thursday to find A Betrayal in Winter, but they didn't have it. I ended up picking up Lord of Light, Zelazny, (I'm about done with Zelazny, and enjoying it so far) Neuromancer, Gibson, and The Road, McCarthy while I wait for ABiW to arrive from Amazon.

Starkess Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Working on The Count of Monte Cristo. Read it and loved it some years ago and am enjoying the re-read, although I have precious little time to spend reading. Concurrently reading Thomas Jefferson, a biography by Bernstein. I'm on a project to read biographies of all the U.S. Presidents. Washington and Adams were fascinating, and I'm really excited to work my way through them, but time is an issue. It could take me a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamjm Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Finishing up Rose of the Prophet and then heading on to Before they are hanged. What did you think of RotP? I liked it when I read it when I was about 14, but I don't know if I'd still have the same reaction if I re-read it again nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Silenus Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Finishing up Rose of the Prophet and then heading on to Before they are hanged. Hi. Seconding a request for your thoughts and opinions on Rose of the Prophet. I confess I am a Weis & Hickman fanboy but this is one series I never got around to. I know I would've loved it at 13, but at 31? Is it good light reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbor Gold Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Halfway through Red Seas Under Red Skies. Next up: The Emperor's Children, which I am very excited about after a great review in The New Yorker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Finished reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher friday (my review), but the board was down most of the time so I could not post anything. Overall is was not mindblowing, but a fun and entertaining read. I especially liked Mister (Harry's cat) and Bob (the air spirit in the skull) who were hilarious at times. It is actually these details and some of the remarks that make the book so much fun. The characterisation I found, was lacking somewhat; apart from Harry most of the characters seemed 'flat' and lifeless. All in all, it was the kind of book that you can easily squeeze in between a daytime job and other activities. I rated it 7/10 for what's worth. Now I am moving on to Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley. I am really curious whether I will like it or not, I read some very positive reviews and some less positive reviews so we'll see. Mixed feelings all around, now I will add my own two cents I guess.

Xray the Enforcer Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Been reading a lot lately. The Virtu -- Sarah Monette RSURS -- Lynch Nightrunners Trilogy -- Lynn Flewelling Brasyl -- Ian McDonald Thirteen -- Richard Morgan Memories of Ice -- Steven Erikson Expiration Date -- Tim Powers Right now I'm finishing Breakaway by Joel Shepard. It's basically an action flick in book form. Next up: Declare by Tim Powers and finish Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Currently reading Dorothy Dunnett's The Spring of the Ram, after completing Sarah Monette's The Mirador. I think, probably, I'll try Rothfuss next (I picked up a a little promotional chap book with the first couple of chapters, read it, and was intrigued), unless Lynch's RSURS finally arrives (yes, I've been remiss).
