[October] What Are You Reading?

[Michael Tree]

About half way through Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay. After that, I have about a dozen books on my 'to read' pile.

Oh, and finished The Club Dumas and Phil Rickman's The Cure of Souls recently.

I got Club Dumas for my birthday, yay! Currently finishing the Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust first, and then I reckon I'll actually read Three Musketeers first.

Finally I am reading my copy of Midnight Tides. (Steven Erikson) Not as grim as his previous books, some actual humour even, but I really like it!

Also partway through re-reading Lattimore's translation of the Odyssey and a book about the epic, called The Odyssey Re-formed.

Well, I blew through Pratchett's latest, Going Postal, last evening. I thought it was incredible. I can't remember the last Discworld novel I enjoyed so much. It's definitely better than last year's, Monstrous Regiment.

Currently reading: Gates of Fire, by Steven Pressfield. It's a historical fiction about Thermopylae and the Spartans. Also rereading Gardens of the Moon, with frequent references back to Midnight Tides.

In the queue: Furies of Calderon, by Jim Butcher. Dog Warrior, by Wen Spencer. Jaguar Knights, by Dave Duncan. Banner of Souls, by Liz Williams. I'll probably also work through the rest of the Malazan books again over the next month or so.

And on October 15, I will be reading The Runes of the Earth, by Stephen R. Donaldson. I have high hopes for this book, considering as I'm one of those who enjoyed the previous Covenant trilogies.

Today I just picked up Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Suzanna Clarke. Hope to have it read by next week.

I will be reading The System of the World by Neal Stephenson as soon as it arrives from Amazon this week. I also have the latest Dark Tower coming with it, though I need to re-read that from the beginning (it has been many years) and I've not read 5 or 6, either.

A Clash of Kings by George R R Martin. I'm enjoying it just as much as A Game of Thrones, which I read in the last couple of weeks.

 

[Starman]

I just finished The Sirens of Titan by Vonnegut. I am now starting A History of God by Karen Armstrong.
