Too Much!

I have three books and two gamer items I'm currently working through:

"Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare and How It Changed America" by David Hajdu. I actually wrote my capstone paper years ago for my BA-History on this very topic.

"Fall of the Roman Republic" by Plutarch - this is my pool-side reading

"Ancient Warfare" by Arnold Henrick - this is to get a different perspective from Field of Glory and other newer historical miniature wargame rules.

Pathfinder #10: A History of Ashes - this is for my current game.

"Shut-In" a D&D Adventure from 11/05 Dungeon Magazine - this is the adventure I'm running this weekend.

Finished Solomon Kane. Great stuff.

Probably read The Bloody Crown of Conan next.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Finished Footprints of Thunder. Reading One False Move now; very interesting and fun read so far.

I finished "A Princess of Mars" last week. I'm currently working on Stross' "Iron Sunrise" (Much more readable than the previous book in the series), and "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell". Next week I will be starting "Clan Corporate" and "The Gods of Mars". Some time later this month I will be starting Bujold's "The Sharing Knife" and Butcher's "Small Favor".

And of course there's the couple dozen webcomics i read every month. But those don't count.

Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold. Impressive so far.

Similar in flavor to The DaVinci Code or the National Treasure films, but the main characters are CIA/FBI and the bad guys are Islamic terrorists, so there is plenty of violence and gunfire. (Ahh, the simple pleasures...)

 

[Psion]

Reading stories from The Spiraling Worm; before GenCon I also need to double back and finish Burroughs' Gods of Mars and perhaps the Concrete Jungle or Jennifer Morgue from a SFBC collection of Charles Stross' Bob Howard/Laundry Lovecraftian spy thrillers entitled On Her Majesty's Occult Service.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Finished One False Move. Gotta admit, Alex Kava has got me hooked on her style. Now reading At The Stroke Of Madness.

 

[Wombat]

Just started Palliser's Quincunx ... apparently an All That And The Kitchen Sink novel of early 1800s England.
