[Aug] What Are You Reading?

[ShadowDenizen]

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

Awesome series!

Finished Lucifer's Hammer, it started out slow and boring and kept getting better little by little, until by the end it was extremely engrossing and was put out that it ended when it did. It has nearly everything you can imagine an apocalypse novel would have. Comets, meteors, endless storms, thousands of feet high tsunami waves all over the planet, every fault line on the planet giving off The Big One earthquake, (sounds like Tool's song, "aenima"!) thermonuclear war, imminent ice age...

One of my favorite, favorite books!! I don't know why someone in Hollywood hasn't optioned this for a film.

Currently reading:
Almost finished Harry Potter (Book 6)
Next up?
"Brokeback Mountain" (since it's only 70 or so pages, this won't take more than a couple of days.)
"Elantris" (Finally! A stand-alone fantasy novel!!)
"The Ring" trilogy (not the Tolkien, but rather the Japanese novels "Ring", "Loop" and ""Spiral".)
"Dark water" (Again, translated from the Japanese.)

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Finishing up The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, and just started Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris.

Awesome series!

[Lucifer's Hammer]

One of my favorite, favorite books!! I don't know why someone in Hollywood hasn't optioned this for a film.

The set up's awfully long, and you'd either need to set it in the 1980s or do a lot of reworking.

Slow to finally be passed a copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, hoping to be done by tomorrow! Then I can finally go to the spoiler threads on it

Awesome series!

"Elantris" (Finally! A stand-alone fantasy novel!!)

You'll have to let me know how this one is. It caught my eye the other day but didn't pick it up.

Finishing up Gene Wolfe's The Wizard

Trying to decide what to read next. Its between Deadhouse Gates, The Warrior Prophet, The Dragon Waiting, and Focaults Pendulumn. I'm leaning towards Eco.

Lucifer's Hammer is, indeed, great. Scads better than those two movies that I shall not deign to name.

I'm currently reading Witch Hunter, a Warhammer novel. It's...ok.

EDIT: Also, still going through the Richard Sharpe books.

Passage at Arms by Glen Cook. I love Glen Cook.

I borrowed this after my friend recently dug into a pile of boxes left unopened after he moved something like 15 years ago. Its a treasure trove of good sci-fi and fantasy paperbacks. He could probably open his own used book store with this stuff...

Fiction: Twenty Years After --- the Musketeers have just

Spoiler

killed Mordaunt,

so it's 200 or so pages of denouement after that.. I always start the Musketeers books with the intention of reading them all in order, but I get to the end of this one and have to cleanse my palate.
Next up: Harry Potter or that new Cormac McCarthy book...

Non-Fiction: Still deprived. I need to go to the library.

Comics: Conan, Red Sonja (not terribly impressed)

Gaming: Grim Tales (again) and waiting on Five Nations.
