[July] What are you reading?

[Welverin]

Still haven't finished Immortalis, but I've mostly been working on game books, some Exalted stuff and some catching up on Dungeon. Also read Ylesia (a SW ebook).

I pummelled through the entire Dune series, one after another

Was pummeling actually necessary? Also, how are the last two? I have yet to read them myself and I can never remember which one my said was terribly good.

- Superman and Batman - Good but I was lost as to who all the characters were (I dont know DC very well

Hmm, neither do I, but I didn't find it a hinderance.

Roger Zelazney's The Dawn of Amber by John Gregory Betancourt. (3 books in the series)

At the pace I'm going, I should be done with all three in about 2 weeks (Getting about 4 hours time a week). Not sure what I'll pick up then. Maybe reread the Amber series.

You read that?

After some intense staring, yeah. The articles are for the most part hilarious. The large features I usually ignore as they mostly deal with serial killers, terrorists or somesuch (actually, I'm not sure as ignore that section). The interviews with celebs/hot chicks are great and the monthly articles like the review capsules and how to's are great.

I just finished Robert Chalmers' first novel, Who's Who in Hell, which was pretty good. It slumped in the second half, but the ending was the saddest thing I've ever read, and brilliant.

Now I've moved on to The Company, by Robert Littell -- a sprawling 900 page novel about the CIA, which is very good so far. And I'm still partway through the next-to-last volume of Cerebus; I've been reading Cerebus for around 10 years, and I'm excited to finally finish it.

Watership Down, by Richard Adams.

Soon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Then, I'll try to finish Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. It's good, but kinda bogs down in the middle.

Oh, I'm also reading a bunch of 'how to be a daddy' books, as my wife and I are expecting our first in December.

The Resurrection Club by Christopher Wallace, The Trigun Manga, and the new edition WFRP. Listening to The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell in the car.

The Resurrection Club by Christopher Wallace, The Trigun Manga, and the new edition WFRP. Listening to The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell in the car.

The Archer's Tale is an excellent novel. The entire Grail Quest trilogy (The Archer's Tale, Vagabond, Heretic) is one of my favorites. I just finished the first book in Cornwell's newest trilogy. The novel is called The Last Kingdom.
