(December) What are you reading?

[Aus_Snow]

Well, it's December here anyway.

So, what is everyone reading?


Apart from catching up on some history (via non-fiction) - particularly Mesopotamian - I'm nearly done with A Feast for Crows (by George R. R. Martin).

Damn, when's the next one in ASoIaF coming out? Yeh, yeh, I know. Next century. :\

I am reading Jim Butcher's Grave Peril which is book 3 in the Harry Dresden series I plan to continue on with the rest of the books.

Then I have a couple of Buffy novels I want to read.

I just finished up Pratchet's Monstrous Regiment, so I'm looking for something to read. I picked up the first issue of Cyber Age Adventures (They'd been promising this for so long I figured it was dead, but I just happened to go glancing at the magazines when I was in B&N a couple weeks ago and there it was). Hopefully it does well.

I'm looking for several Koontz titles, which I've usually found remaindered in 3-in-1 sets, but now that I actually want to buy them they are nowhere to be found....

Bu$ting Vegas by Ben Mezrich. Great non-fiction book written in a fictional style about a group from MIT that used a (rather ingenuative, I must say) non-card counting system to beat blackjack. Even better than his other somewhat similar book that's getting made into a movie, Bringing Down the House.

That's almost done, and then I'll finally be getting around to reading The Da Vinci Code.

 

[Lazybones]

War of the Flowers, by Tad Williams. Days of Infamy by Harry Turtledove is waiting at the library. As a historian I'm sure I'll be shaking my head, but his alt-histories are usually amusing, if nothing else.

 

[Bloodstone Press]

I''ve been reading some short stories lately. The best ones have been "Vandy, Vandy" by Manly Wade Wellman, "The Crowd" by Ray Bradbury. "The Reach" by Stephen King, and "A Little Something for us Tempunauts" by Philip K. Dick.

I'll be working my way deeper into my short story collection in December.

I finished A Feast for Crows a couple days ago and I've started on Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five (reading it for the first time).

 

[Mark CMG]

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

 

[Wombat]

Just finished two books by Kim Harrison: Dead Witch Walking and The Good, The Bad, and The Undead -- if you like the Harry Dresden books, you'd like these!

And doing a lot of article and partial-book reading on Europe between 1760 and 1830... background research for my larger Regency Magica project

 

[Eosin the Red]

Cornwell's Arthurian saga is 1/2 a book shy of being in the can. I am 6 books into Whyte's Camaluod-Skystone series. I am debating about picking up Uther and Lance Thrower tonight (my favortie Arthurin series so far).

I am knee deep into Life in a XXX series (I am on Villiage right now).

And I am always toying with The Medieval Fortress but have yet to read the whole thing.
