[Aug] What Are You Reading?

Stared "Wolf Moon" by Charles de Lint. So far, so good.

Currently reading China Mieville's Iron Council.

I'm still waiting to see a Bas Lag RPG sourcebook. He must have a million offers in hand.

Before that, I read David Weber's On Basilisk Station, which felt too much like reading someone's Traveller game, and Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass.

Next up will be Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover Landfall, because I found it at a used bookstore for $0.37; Guy Gavriel Kay's The Lions of al-Rassan, because I liked Tigana; Pullman's The Subtle Knife, the second book in the His Dark Materials trilogy; and Gene Wolfe's Sword & Citadel: The Second Half of the Book of the New Sun.

I'm working through the Wheel of Time books again in preparation for Book 11 coming out in October/November. I read all of them about 2 years ago, but with 4,000 - 5,000 pages and over 1500 characters, I needed to re-read them before the next book.

I'm currently on book 6, Lord of Chaos. I can't wait until Dumai's Well!

I'm currently on book 6, Lord of Chaos. I can't wait until Dumai's Well!

I still get tingles thinking about that scene, one of the most fantastic battles in any book I've read.

On the first I finished reading The Last Full Measure by Shaara, it is the last in the Civil War trilogy and may I say is a very excellent and emotional book (well at least for me). Yesterday I finished reading Potter which was goood and today I'm starting Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett.

Shadow of the Hegemon! I really liked the Ender's books too, so now on to the Bean books.

Although now that I work at Borders, I'll be getting s'more books.

The Bean books are all a lot more like Ender's Game than they are like the Ender sequels...which in my opinion makes them all infinitely better.

I'm currently on book 6, Lord of Chaos. I can't wait until Dumai's Well!

And then you might as well quit reading, because practically nothing happens between the end of Dumai's wells and the beginning of the 11th book! Eegh!

Right now I'm rereading Spider Robinson's Lady Slings the Booze, the second book in the Calahan's Lady part of the Calahan books.

On deck is "In Conquest Born" by CS Friedman. I read one of her other books before, "Black Sun Rising," which is actually the first of a series, but I never bothered to start the other two. "In Conquest Born" is a standalone, unrelated book, and from the reviews apparently a good one...

Also on deck is "Dune", which I will be rereading for probably the 30th time...
