[April] What are you reading?

[Mark CMG]

I've been rereading the old Chainmail Miniatures Combat Rules but also enjoying One Corpse Too Many, a Brother Cadfael mystery from Ellis Peters, on audiobook. I plan to listen to the whole lot of these as the summer winds on.

Just finished reading the Nemesis graphic novel.

Just started reading the Wanted graphic novel.


These two graphic novels turn many generic comic book superhero tropes totally upside down.

On my reading list, apart from a load of stuff for my BA thesis (on Solomon Kane, mind you), are Iain M. Banks' Consider Phlebas and Look to Windward and William Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive. Eventually I'll also have to get around to reading Matt Forbeck's Dead Ball since I promised a review of it for Alterations, a local gaming club's magazine.

Finished Cormyr, the Novel moving on to Beyond the High Road. Boy is Princess Tanalasta is proving why she is skipped over in favor of someone else.

 

[Umbran]

Currently working on The Kingdom Beneath the Waves, by Stephen Hunt.

This is the sequel to Hunt's The Court of the Air, and the guy is definitely developing a clear voice and structure he prefers. And maybe it is better to call it a followup, rather than a sequel.

I just finished "The Execution Channel" by Ken MacLeod which was good except for the surprising, slightly unconvincing ending.

Next will be Susanna Clarke's 'The Ladies of Grace Adieu'.

 

[Shade]

While traveling, I finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I liked it so much, I had to seek out a Barnes & Noble and pick up Wise Man's Fear.

I recently started reading the bible. Not as a religeous thing, but simply as a piece of literature. So far I've found it to be quite interesting from both a cultural context and as a piece for literary analysis.

I tried doing this many years ago too.

At the time, my interest was in attempting to figure out which generic story tropes it was using in different stories.

I shall be starting Tiassa by Steven Brust soon.

It took a year to read the previous book and a day to read this one. I wonder how long the next one will take.
