Datepalm Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Finished The Abominable, by Dan Simmons, which has a lot of good things in it while overall being fairly terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I had a whole bunch of stuff planned for November, but The Darkness That Comes Before is so good I can see this month just being a Bakker marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeping Death Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Currently reading Pynchon's Inherent Vice. Once I finish that up I'm gonna start McCarthy's Blood Meridian and Fleming's Casino Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'll be reading books 2 and 3 of the First Law Trilogy. After that, books 3 and 4 of the so far exceptional Acts of Caine series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maester Hodor Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just read The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister today. Just a FYI for people who are thinking about getting it, it takes about 10 minutes to read. Unless you are getting it for free, or are reading it in the book store, it is not worth it.

Stark Revenge Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'm currently reading Gardens of the Moon. If I'm lucky ill finish it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I finished The City by Stella Gemmell during the week, which was ok, a bit hard to follow what exactly was going on at times. At the moment I'm about a quarter of the way through Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold which so far is surprisingly depressing for a Vorkosigan Saga book.

sperry Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I've had like 6 books going for a few months now, and should actually finish a couple this month. Bleak House by Dickens. Finally, 28 chapters into the book some things are starting to happen. Should finish the 2nd book of Abraham's The Dagger and the Coin series this month. It's pretty decent and the books are reasonably short, so I've sort of flown through the first two books. Have been slogging through the Well of Ascension for a while now. I loved the first Mistborn book and read it in about two weeks, but this one just drags along and pretty much focuses completely on the weakest points of the first book. Making progress on Wuthering Heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenhair Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just got Royal Assassin today after reading Assassin's Apprentice this week. The first book, while slow, was enjoyable, so I am excited to finish the trilogy. I love those books! I did a re-read of all of them a couple years ago when I first got my Kindle. I have always been an Anne-with-an-e kind of gal! (It's my middle name, as a matter of fact. ;)) I also think that is where my love and envy of red hair came from. I am an Anne-with-an-e, and I loved Anne of Green Gables and the sequels. I just finished Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, and am now reading The Rosie Project, which was recommended by my favorite bookstore staffer. The Lowland remains the best book I have read this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seli Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Currently reading Through Splintered Walls by Kaaron Warren, a collection of three short stories and a novella, on the surreal/horror side of the field. The three short stories were already worth reading, and I am now up to the novella. Also lined up is Jagannath by Karin Tidbeck, but I might escape into some lighter reading instead.

deleted01 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 45% through The Heroes, and I have to admit that it is picking up. More keen to read on now, though I haven't had much time for reading in the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More keen to read on now, though I haven't had much time for reading in the last few days.Think I've had the same experience with every Abercrombie so far, first third is always enjoyable without being too motivated to pick it up, the further I go the less I want to put it down though. 20% into Red Country now so things just starting to heat up a little.

TrackerNeil Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 "Days of Fire", by Peter Baker, a chronicle of the Bush/Cheney years. I started reading it Halloween, which seemed an appropriate day to begin a scary story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usotsuki Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm now reading Two Serpents Rise (Craft Sequence #2) by Max Gladstone and enjoying it. It was definitely engaging but I felt that it didn't have quite the impact of Three Parts Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
