[April] What are you reading?

[JoeBlank]

Just finished Anubis Gates.

Reading a few stories out of The Coming of Conan and Legends II, while I wait to get Swordspoint, by Ellen Kushner, the next selection for the Book Club.

I'm gonna start on Star Wars: New Jedi Order(the whole series) again, since I got sidetracked last time I went to read them.

 

[Nighthawk]

I am going over my Dick Francis books again.

I'm reading Spin State by Chris Moriarty, which I was originally turned onto by Locus Magazine's recommended reading list for 2004. It's a hard SF novel, combination military/social/murder mystery with a lot of cyberpunk tropes.

Most of my reading during the semester is work-related, so I'm reading (and in most cases, rereading) what my students do. Moliere's The Misanthrope and Ibsen's A Doll House for one class and Shakespeare's Othello and Twelfth Night for another. In the fantasy/sci-fi arena, Karl Edward Wagner's Gods in Darkness, which includes three of his 'Kane' novels.

 

[Karl Green]

Just starting Book 3 of the DragonCrown Wars, the Grand Crusade by Michael A. Stackpole. The first two were very good (Fortress Draconis and When Dragons Rage. There is also a prequel that I read a few years ago The Dark Glory War that was also good)

I'm currently reading Stephen King's Insomnia very slowly... Book is pretty good so far, nothing excellent though, and King's writing is much more solid than in his Dark Tower books.

Probably going to start rereading Wheel of Time, or start on the Coming of Conan the Cimmerian or Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders trilogy.

 

[Taelorn76]

Got side tracked, so I am still reading Highwayman by Salvatore, Also rereading the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown

 

[EricNoah]

I think I'm gonna read Neuromancer again. I'll be hitting a bookstore tomorrow, though, so I might seek out some "classics" of fantasy (maybe someone can recommend me a good place to start with Conan; and I might try to round up the first Thieves' World novel or something like that). Fantasy reading hasn't been tripping my trigger recently (haven't been able to get past page 1 of Perdido Street Station, for example) -- I've been much more into sci fi. I might look and see if there are some Stephen Baxter novels I haven't read yet...

Eric, the collection The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian is a fine place to start with Conan as it is chronological in order they were written.
