[Feb] What are you reading?

[Krug]

Krakatoa - Non fiction book about the biggest volcanic eruption in recent human history. Intriguing so far.

Next up is Eragon - Why can't I be a 20-year old fantasy writing prodigy?

I just finished Isaac Asimov's The Gods Themselves and I am now working on Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.

I've just started Captain Blood, by Rafael Sabatini.

I started with Lord of the Rings but got stuck in Moria (no pun intended) so I´m reading a Greyhawk-book called "Keep on the Borderlands" by Ru Emerson.
It´s like the storyhours on these boards, just not quite as good as most of the storys we have learned to love

Just finished reading Far From the Madding Crowd for school. Horrible horrible book where nothing happens...even when something's happening, nothing happens.

Thankfully, we next get to read a novel of our choice for a comparison essay. Soooo...Dune here I come.

I've just started Captain Blood, by Rafael Sabatini.

Good choice!

I have The King's Name, by Jo Walton, sequel to The King's Peace, sitting waiting for me to read it. What I'm trying to finish reading at the moment is Piracy in the Greco-Roman World by Philip de Souza.

Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson

 

[Claude Raines]

Right now I only have 3 books in the que for when I finish Slammerkin, an 18th century historical drama about a prostitute. Once that's done I'll start Modesitt's The Chaos Balance & The White Order. After that I have Hubbard's Fear.

Edited- the dreaded double post

Let's see...

Just finished re-reads on To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and Tales From the Flat Earth/The Lords of Darkness by Tanith Lee.

Current beside reading is Lamb by Christopher Moore, which is neither so controversial nor as funny as people led me to believe. Current bring-it-with-me reading is The Queen's Conjurer (a biography of Dr. John Dee) by Benjamin Woolley, and excellent study of a single man, but with wider implications of the position of magic, science, mathematics, and astrology all living side-by-side in the English Renaissance.

And this month for sure I'm (finally!) going to read Edward Rice's biography of Capt. Sir Richard Burton... unless I get sidetracked by more Arthurian tales!
