[August] What are you reading?

[ShadowDenizen]

Currently?
The English translation of "Nightwatch". ("Nochnoi Dozor" in Russia.)
The book is as good as the movie, though they differ in some fundemental ways.

THen, back to "The Obsidian Trilogy", by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory.

Recently finished A Fistful of Charms, A Song in the Dark, and Proven Guilty, thus filling my modernish-pulp-noir-with-magic quota for a while...

Then I tackled A Hat Full Of Sky and A High Wind in Jamaica for the younger set.

Now I am reading the What If? unchronica collection.

Reaper of Souls by Dan Abnett & Mike Lee, WFRP novel, 3rd book about Malus Darkblade.

Has that hit US shelves yet? I've been waiting on it.

The Primate Anthology: Essays on Primate Behavior, Ecology and Conservation from Natural History by Russell L. Ciochon and Richard A. Nisbett

I'm reading a science fiction novel, The Engines of God, by Jack McDevitt. I'm about two-thirds of the way into it, and it's been very good thus far. It's basically about archaeology of alien civilizations on other planets, and the search for the Monument Makers, an alien civilization that has left these beautiful monuments scattered all over the cosmos.

Provided you like it all the way through to the end I highly recommend everything else McDevitt has written. There are... I want to say a half a dozen books that take place in the same universe as Engines of God but other than Omega I can't think of the titles of any of them. Omega is the last one, by the by. I'd recommend finding his older stuff first. His latest book, Polaris (his latest) was a very dry read for some reason. It had the adventure and danger of his other books but was just missing something. Eternity Road (also by McDevitt) is a really great post-apocalyptic novel that actually manages to avoid the Road Warrior/Mad Max cliches.

In my own case... I'm currently finishing up Abarat by Clive Barker and trying to dredge my way through Vellum: The Book of All Hours by, um, Halden, I think. Probably going to read Necroscope, Wicked, or Chainfire next (by Lumley, somebody whose name I've forgotten, and Goodkind, respectively).

 

[BadMojo]

I'm finishing up China Mieville's "Perdido Street Station" and will probably be reading the "Tales of the Last War" collection of Eberron short stories.

Yep, picked it up at Books-a-Million last weekend.

 

[Enforcer]

Wizard and Glass by Stephen King (Dark Tower IV). Then the Keith Baker Eberron novels, then this book called The Dante Club that a co-worker lent me. Oh, and then some Tanith Lee if I can find it, as it's listed as a major inspiration for Exalted 2e (White Wolf).
