May I borrow your time machine?

Well, I just finished a very good book - Ancient Seige Warfare by Paul Bentley Kern.

I'm now reading a book about the religion of Mithras in ancient Rome. Forget the title.

I started Anansi Boys, Gaiman's latest novel, last night. Finished it about fifteen minutes ago. It's a very fun, very quick read, and he's definitely improving as a novelist (American Gods annoyed me--I know most folks loved it, but the climactic scene just annoyed me). It was kind of fun realizing that he's read the same nonfiction book about ravens that I have .

I'm guessing he was referring to this book, not that one . I listened to it on CD, and was alternately impressed by his insight and irritated by his bloviating (if he told me one more time how impressed the Saudi Prince was with his perceptiveness, I was gonna hurl).

I'm a 35-year old geek and I've been gaming since I was 10, but I've never read a single Dragonlance book. Shocking!

So I'm about finished with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Fun stuff. Got the rest of the trilogy to keep me busy until Christmas.

Currently Reading Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan, which is book 10 of the Wheel of Time.

also reading Realms of Shadow return of the Archwizards anthology by R.A. Salvatore


Think I might start re-reading the DUNE books once these two are out of the way.

I just finished Thunder and Lightning, the autobiography of Phil Esposito. I've started A Storm of Swords, by George RR Martin, and I've been working on Overtime, the biography of Guy LaFleur.

 

[Testament]

A Storm of Swords, by George RR Martin.

Man, and I thought things were getting bad during ACoK. The whole place is going to hell in an express elevator.

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman

I'm reading it too. Apparently my time machine is also working.

On a lighter note, I just finished the book version of John Carpenter's film "The Thing", written by Alan Dean Foster. I loved the extra detail and the scenes that were quite different from the movie. $7 on ebay.

Job (the tortured one).

Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin - really good, so far
