[July] What are you reading?

[NewJeffCT]

I re-read A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings over the past few months, and now I'm starting on re-reading A Storm of Swords. I gave up on A Feast for Crows because I had forgotten so much of books 1-3. So, I'm hoping now that book 5 is here, I can finish up book 3 this month, read A Feast for Crows after that, and then I'll be ready to settle down with A Dance with Dragons on a more timely basis.

Then, when book 6 comes out some time around 2017, I'll restart them from the beginning again before that to again refresh my memory, as I'll be in my 50s then and I'll have a teenage daughter... so, my memory will need refreshing again.

Saturn by Ben Bova, in print.

A Dance with Dragons in audiobook (49 hours; and they brought back Roy Dotrice!)

I just finished the latest book in Mark Charan Newton's Legends of the Red Sun series. Wonderful Dying Earth stuff written by a person who proudly wears his influences --Vance, Wolfe, Mieville, Zelazny-- at the same time he brings a fresh new voice to genre fiction.

Next up: a 1st draft of my friends novel, a science fantasy conflation of the Ramayana and... well... the Beatles (sort of).

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey. Thoroughly digging it. I love the feel of it and it really captures the feeling of what Lucas called the "used future".

Tales of H. P. Lovecraft I'm ashamed to say it's taking me much too long to work my way through this.

Once these are done it'll probably time to dig back through LOTR.

I finished it on vacation last month and enjoyed the hell out of it. For me, it had all the best parts of an old-school Niven/Pournelle team-up.

I'd also recommend the 1st book in the new fantasy series by Daniel Abraham (one of two guys who write as Corey), The Dagger's Dragon's Path, 1st book in the Dagger and Coin series. Though the genre's different, the quality of the writing and storytelling are just as high.

As of 6am this morning - A Dance with Dragons. Our long national nightmare is over

Mine arrived yesterday from Amazon, but the first few pages 40 pages or so are all still connected at the top. It appears that the machine in charge of separating the perforations misfired. The good news is that I had already read those pages in the online preview, and I have 30 days to finish the book before exchaning it for a better copy.

Which is why I'm waiting for the mass market version of book 5. I see no reason to spend an extra $15 or so AND prolong the agony of waiting for the next book. I figure I've got a grip on my desire to read book 5. Better the devil you know.

I am reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn. It's not bad so far.

A Dance with Dragons. Woke up yesterday, turned on my Kindle's wireless, and it was there before I was really awake. So far, so good.
