[August] What are you reading?

[Brakkart]

Just read my way through the Starlight and Shadows Trilogy while I was on a week's holiday in Malta, made for good poolside reading. Just started on Blackstaff and will be following that with Bloodwalk and then the Threat From The Sea Trilogy.

I'm gonna need new shelving to house my FR novel collection soon... *sigh* more expense!

Just got done with A Dirty Job by Christoper Moore. A more funny, irreverant, and --at the same time--heartfelt writer you will not find.

 

[BluWolf]

Re-Reading the Puzzle Palace by James Bamford.

Outstanding look at the history of the NSA.

I've just begun reading Once in a Lifetime: The Incredible Story of the New York Cosmos by Gavin Newsham.

The similarly-named movie (Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos) that's based on the book has already opened theatrically in New York City and in a few other select markets, and will open in more markets during the next few weeks. It'll then both be released on DVD and air on ESPN/ESPN2 this fall.

I just finished reading the book.

Who knew that there was that much turmoil in the Cosmos locker room, where Franz Beckenbauer never imagined that he'd come play in America only to see Pelé cry (after a fierce locker-room argument between the latter and the instigating Giorgio Chinaglia)?

I can't wait to see the movie.

Chris Moore rocks harder then a Van Halen concert wrapped in a Black Sabbath concert. I love every book that guy has written.

I just got done with the second book in R. Scott Bakker's 'Prince of Nothing' series. Good gawd ya'all, I'm here to tell you that those are some great books. I can hardly wait to dive into the third one.

Right now, still working on Stackpole's Cartomancy. After that, it's Judas Unchained, The Virtu, or wherever my mood takes me.

 

[Karl Green]

I just started reading His Last Command. A WH40K Gaunt’s Ghosts novel by Dan Abnett. Pretty good so far, but then Dan is a very good WH author and I have read most of his 40K stuff 

I also picked up The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane by REH, mostly cause I read them all long ago but now with the Savage World version coming out next year I want to read them again

 

[Welverin]

I recently got through Good Omens and The Green and the Gray, and am currently working on Outbound Flight.

 

[Vigilance]

Captain America: Winter Soldier by Ed Brubaker. Not only is this one of the best comics I have ever read, it's quite simply the best Captain America story ever.

I just finished The Engines of God (which was good, and I'll be hunting up others in the series as a result), then plowed through After the Fire (a novel in the Star Trek: New Frontiers series by Peter David, which I love to death but hate the frequent "to be continued" non-endings) and am now halfway through Shattered, an old Dean Koontz novel that I've somehow overlooked reading all this time. This last book reminds me of the movie "Duel," with a crazed psychopath terrorizing a car on the freeway.

It's amazing what two 4-hour flights in less than a week will do to free up some reading time!
