[April] What are you reading?

[Mark CMG]

But put that aside to read some non-fiction: Devil in the White City http://www.amazon.com/Devil-White-City-Madness-Changed/dp/0375725601

I've heard some say that and The Lost City of Z are required non-fiction in from the last decade.

BTW, is anyone who frequents our "What are you reading?" threads keeping up with Paul Kemp?

I started reading Absolution Gap by Alastair Reynolds. It's the third book in a trilogy I started reading years back. I hadn't enjoyed the second book very much, hence the long delay. But Absolution Gap has a really intriguing start, so I'm hooked again.

Doctorow's Little Brother - final book for the Coursera Fantasy and SF course.

Halfway through The Whale Road. History Channel's Vikings has me craving more and The Whale Road delivers.

Finished Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence. An unlikable and fairly bland main character solely bent on revenge, too many easy solutions to his predicaments and an odd plot turn made this kind of unsatisfying. It's undoubtedly well-written, but I've no interest in reading the sequel.

I finished reading Absolution Gap by Alastair Reynolds which was all in all very good. The ending is a bit open, so I guess the author planned on writing more stories set in the same universe (actually, there are already two prequels, IIRC). Now I'm back to reading a bit of RPG material (Ars Magica's 'Grogs').

Three books down in The Saxon Stories and it's doing much more than holding my interest.

Currently reading Sword of Shame by the Medieval Murderers. It's a fascinating series of short stories that follows the ownership of a particular (and ill-fated) sword. The novel itself has 5 acts, a prologue and an epilogue (so 7 short stories) whose only common thread is the sword (slightly different eras, completely different characters, etc.).

The Medieval Murderers are a group of authors (Michael Jecks, Susanna Gregory, Bernard Knight, Ian Morson, and Philip Gooden).
