[Jan05] What are you reading?

[Krug]

For The Black Company, I couldn't quite get into it initially, but I'm enjoying the latter developments. I find the taken quite interesting, and the insight into a military company is refreshing from the usual sword and sorcery fluff.

 

[Wormwood]

Re-reading the Silmarillion (a New Year's ritual for the past few years).

After that, I'll be hitting The History of Middle Earth volumes 10 through 12.

 

[Geoff]

I just finished Angels & Demons by Dan Brown...I know, I'm a little behind the times in my reading; heck I just read The DaVinci Code a month ago! I'm currently reading Bent's Fort by David Lavender, a historic book about, you guessed it, Bent's Fort in Colorado.

 

[RangerWickett]

I'm reading the Prydain Chronicles. They're cheery.

 

[Asmo]

Just fired up "The war of the flowers" by Tad Williams.
Got to love Tad, he´s great.

Sorry, did my question step on your sensitivity button or easily offended button or whatever it is people have nowadays? I was curious on how Krug liked the books, they are not to everyone's taste and sometimes a bit of a shock to people used to Tolkien-esque fantasy. Not really roll eyes worthy to me, but it seems to have caused an issue of reactivity. It's ok, you will be fine.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Rereading The Hobbit and then starting Terry Pratchett's Going Postal.

 

[RichCsigs]

I just finished The Complete Peanuts Vol. 1 (1950 - 1952) and will be moving on to the Vol. 2 tonight.

 

[haiiro]

Continuing Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which remains a great book.

Next up is either Angels & Demons, The Stupidest Angel or the Riddle-Master trilogy. Probably The Stupidest Angel, but it's going to be a tough choice -- in a good way!

I actually have no idea what Thanee's eye rolling is directed at. I think that's one of the reasons that emoticon was taken out in the last version of the boards -- not sure why it's back, actually.
