[April] What are you reading?

[CCamfield]

From what I gather, the Assassin Trilogy and the Liveship books are fairly unconnected. However, Liveship is connected with the Tawny Man books in some way. Not too sure, seeing as I haven't read either.

And, if it wasn't obvious, the Tawny Man books follow the Assassin series rather directly. (It's about Fitz, that is.)


I just finished reading The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia McKillip. Another excellent book by her which once again reminded me of how beautiful a prose stylist she is. Lots of lovely language.

I recently read Sir Apropos of Nothing and The Woad To Wuin by Peter David. I thought the first was pretty good, but the sequel was a letdown.

The next thing on my fiction reading list is McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales. It looks like fun.

Just finished The Swords of Night & Day, by David Gemmell. I'll go back to re-reading The Gate of Fire by Thomas Harlan, until The Confusion by Neal Stephenson comes out next week. Then, back into the remaining two Oath of Empire novels.

Just a few pages away from finishing Elaine Cunningham's Daughter of the Drow, then I'll be moving on to Tangled Webs.

Best Crime Writing 2003. Fun read. Fact really is stranger than fiction.

Rereading Steven Brust's Khaarven Romances (i.e. The Three Musketeers, set in Drageara -- The Phoenix Guards, Five Hundred Years After, and the first two parts of The Viscount of Adrilankha -- The Paths of the Dead and Lord of Castle Black) while waiting for Amazon to deliver Sethra Lavode.

Next up: More Bujold -- the Miles books have been the first SF series (as opposed to fantasy) that I've picked up in a long time (having largely switched from sci-fi in high school to fantasy in college).

I've been on a re-reading old favorites kick.
I finished re-reading the Lord of the Rings for the 6th time. I promised myself that I wouldn't touch it again until all the movies had been released. It made me appreciate the movies all that more. Now, I think I'm going to re-read all of my Lovecraft.
All of my recent new reading has been programming books... !Exciting.
I've got some Gibson sitting by my nightstand that I've been meaning to read.

Kafka's Metamorphosis was great. I read it in German.

As for Wizard's First Rule - Do read it, but don't read any of the sequels. Spare yourself the disappointment.

A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Yeah, call me old-fashioned.

Finished The Godmother, almost done with Exile's Honor and ready to start This Scepter'd Isle.

 

[Seonaid]

Just finished Joseph Heller's Catch-22, which I would recommend, and Catherine Asaro's Catch the Lightning, which I wouldn't. Next up is Jeanette Winterson's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, which I hope is as good as Sexing the Cherry.

I just finished the Harry Potter series. Great stuff.
