Been thinking about a re-read of The Black Company myself. And it's hard to go wrong with Neil Gaiman.

I'm re-reading The Black Company and American Gods.

I finished reading Murphy's Flame and Crimson. It was solid overview that didn't shy away from critiquing Sword and Sorcery when it deserved it. One thing I wish is that it had illustrations - there's a lot of discussion of the cover art, and it would've been nice not have to look some of them up on my own.

Right now it's snowy enough that reading Maria Dahvana Headley's new Beowulf translation seems perfect, so that's what's next.

I'm re-reading The Black Company and American Gods.

I've re-read the original Black Company trilogy 4 times now. For my money it has my favorite depictions of evil wizards unleashed in the 10 who were taken.

The books after The White Rose just didn't grip me the same however.

I personally liked the Books of the South where you learned more of the history of the company.

Read In the Kingdom of Ice years ago, catching up on his other books. Easy reads, but very interesting and well done. At first I didn't think I would be 100% interested in subject matter, but he's really engaging. After Blood & Thunder only have Americana left.

Hampton Sides – Blood and Thunder

Currently reading way outside my usual: "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis. I'm reading to prepare as the agnostic guest on a Christian podcast.

Another good one by CS is Screwtape Letters.

I'm re-reading The Black Company and American Gods.

I've reread American Gods at least 3 times. It just doesn't stick with me, beyond a vague memory of being good.

Then again, I'm halfway through my reread of Murderbot #5, which I read...a year ago, and it's like I didn't read it at all, so that's confusing. (I stalled out on Tatiana because despite not remembering if I even finished it, it was TOO familiar...). I just reread Murderbot 1-4 as well.
