[January] What are you reading?

[Jack7]

The Road -- depressing but amazing well written with a poetic prose quality.

Wait til you read Blood Meridian (if you haven't already).


Biography:

The Real Wizard of Oz


Books on CD:

Still listening to Fire in the East which I'm enjoying immensely.


Comics/Graphic Novels:

Daredevil: Lone Stranger


eBooks or Internet Library:

none this month


Fiction:

Ghost Story by Jim Butcher

Killing the Blues - a Jesse Stone novel that was finished posthumously. I can tell the author is no Robert Parker. It is written by Parker's script-writing partner for the Jesse Stone series of movies, but it reads more like a script than a Stone novel. And that's too bad as it seems like a great case.

A Fighting Man of Mars and the Synthetic Men of Mars - rereading as soon as they get in.


Non-Fiction:

Scripture:

Comparative study between Exodus and the Acts of the Apostles


Lectures:

I haven't yet decided what my lecture series for this month will be. For the moment I'm still finishing the Big Picture MBA by Peter Navarro. Which is excellent.

Reading a lot of stuff currently-

book on the history of comicbooks- from the creators view point in the 40s, 50.s and 60's

Eberron novels

Punisher Max TPB

and just ordered some Edgar Cayce stuff.

Thanks for the tip. I've heard that Blood Meridian is very good as well, which is definitely on my to do list.

I got a Kobo Touch for Christmas so I loaded it up with free books. Started plugging away on Dracula before I bought A Game of Thrones. So far, the action is kinda dull (but its getting better!) but it is so well written I don't really care. Its just fun to see how Martin puts words to the page.

I've also started reading my friend's copies of Aquaman once she's done with them. I also got the first two hardcover books of The Walking Dead and devoured them in a few hours today. So much more... wrong than the TV series and I mean that in the best possible way. I might also re-read Maus before I go back to school.

Beyond the comicbooks I always buy.. I might start reading Gods of Mars since I just finished reading Princess of Mars.

I'm about halfway through The Gates of Fire [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gates-of-Fire-ebook/dp/B000NJL7QO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325575452&sr=1-1"]Amazon.com: Gates of Fire eBook: Steven Pressfield: Kindle Store[/ame]

I'm also reading the third book in the Star Trek Destiny series, by David Mack.

If I have time to get through those, I'll probably start on the first book of Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series.

 

[Janx]

Sherlock Holmes short story anthology.

just finished A Study in Scarlet. Finishing up The Sign of the Four.


Apparently it's Volume 1 of an ebook anthology we got from Sony's library.

I'm reading it on my new sony ebook.

 

[Klaus]

Re-reading "I, Strahd".

Really, really liked that.

But I think his best book was Tides of War. I didn't care much for the Profession. It had some interesting "futurist speculation" but he does much better at the historical analysis and assumption of ancient warfare. I liked Killing Rommel though.

just finished A Study in Scarlet. Finishing up The Sign of the Four.

Both excellent cases.

Just finished [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Den-Thieves-Ancient-Blades-Trilogy/dp/0062021249/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325638666&sr=8-2]Amazon.com: Den of Thieves: The Ancient Blades Trilogy: Book One (9780062021243): David Chandler: Books[/ame] , a decent fantasy romp with a almost retro flavour (elves and dwarves, oh my!). Some quite likeable characters, including the main lead who's a smart sneak thief. What I didn't like were the constant chapter breaks, which made the book lose momentum, particular when we're still in the same scene.

Done with Book 1 and wasn't too impressed; hope the next 2/3 is an easier slog.
