[QUOTE="Doppleganger, post: 706251, member: 722"] Just finished: [i]Storm of Swords[/i] (second reading) - It's going to be a while before [i]Feast for Crows[/i], but there's been alot of Westeros talk recently (because of the upcoming Dragon magazine articles & the CC game I see people playing) so I reread my favorite book. This has only re-confirmed that it's still my favorite. Nobody pulls the rug out from beneath you like Martin, the end of almost every chapter leaves you breathless. [i]Homeland[/i] (second reading) - After 10 years, I reread this old Drizzt classic (I was inspired to re-read it after seeing the new Dark Elf Trilogy reprint show up on Amazon's best-seller list). Salvatore is a very poor (*bad*) descriptive writer here, but the storyline is truly unique and very entertaining. The drow take back-stabbing and betrayal to a new level, and I enjoyed the psychological introspection that several characters ruminate over. I also like the fact that this book has a very core "D&D"-ish feel. [i]The Dragon Reborn[/i] - I think I'm finished with Jordan. He's an excellent writer and I love his attention to detail, but the story didn't involve much more than a bunch of kids traveling overland from one place to another for vague and weakly-contrived reasons. Also, I expected much more than a 5 page climax after 700 pages of setup, there just wasn't enough "meat" to the story. At book 3 of this series, I'm already thoroughly tired of hearing characters continously say "Light!" and "Burn Me!" before virtually every comment, and Nynaeve gives a few sharp tugs to her braid on almost every page. Does she have obsessive-compulsive disorder or what?? Now reading: [i]Exile[/i] - The weakest link of the Dark Elf Trilogy, but I plan to finsh off all three books before retiring them to my bookshelf for another 10 years. The weakness of Salvatore's writing style is glaringly bright in my eyes after reading talents like Jordan & Martin (though my opinion of Jordan is fading). The On-Deck circle: [i]Assassin's Apprentice[/i] - The title screams "junior high entertainment" to me, but Robin Hobb comes highly recommended by everybody so I'm going to give it a shot. I'm really looking forward to reading this. [i]Vector Prime[/i] - Most of my gaming group occasionally chats about the New Jedi Order books and so far I've had nothing to contribute to the conversation, so I'm starting with book one to see what this "Vong" talk is all about.
