[Aug] What Are You Reading?

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

New month...new thread.

Currently still working my way through Guns, Germs, and Steel, with some The Fifth Elephant tossed in here and there. Also picked up the new Star Wars book, The Joiner King and gotten through the prologue.

I'm alternating between "Angels and Devils" by Dan Brown, and rereading the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix ("Sabriel", "Lirael", & "Abhorsen"). I just picked up "Howl's Moving Castle" by Dianna Wynn Jones, but I haven't started it yet.

Working on Dragon Rider. Very readable.

Right now, re-reading Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders books (now that my Vlad Taltos reread is done). I'm not sure what's next; I've got some stuff on order from Amazon, but I may well be done with Hobb's trilogy before they get here.

Freakonomics. An interesting look at how you can take the toolsof economics and point them at other questions. Interesting mental-floss.

Post Harry Potter, I've been on a re-read kick. So far it has been four of Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody mysteries, Sarah Vowell's Partly-Cloudy Patriot and now I am back into LotR -- just finishing up the Council of Elrond.

 

[minitrue]

Just finished book 2 and started book 3 of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.

Still on the Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis, I'll finish Posiedon's Gold tomorrow and I'll go get 'Last Act in Palmyra' and 'Time to Depart' at the library. Nothing like stumbling onto a series that has 17 books already written in it!!
By then the next Gordianus novel should be out by Steven Saylor

Just finished "The Short, Victorious War" by David Weber. Very good book. Not sure what I'm going to start next.

Been reading various Shadowrun books, DMG 2, and Lo5R 3e, as well.

::hangs head in shame::

I am starting the Harry Potter series! I am tired of missing out. I am wrapping up the second one tonight and then on to the third and hopefully on through the sixth before I end up accidentally reading a spoiler I don't want to see.
