[July] What are you reading?

[Kanegrundar]

Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. I've ordered the next book in the series Song of Susannah, and I really want to get both read by Spet 21st when the last book in the series, The Dark Tower comes out. Hands down, King's Dark Tower series is the best and most imaginative fantasy series I've ever read.

Guy Gavriel Kay has recently become a favorite of mine. I have only read Tigana, Lions of Al-Rassan, and Last Light of the Sun. The first two are among the finest fantasy novels I have read and the last one is merely great.

As for what I have read, am reading, and soon will be reading:

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant in preparation for the release of the Last Chronicles.

Light Ages by Ian Macleod

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller, I can't believe I never read this before.

A Fire Upon the Deep and it's sequel by Vernor Vinge

I finally started reading my hardcover copy of Legends that I bought many moons ago! Only took a few years to break down and start reading it!

I wonder if all of these little stories will make it into other sources though. For example, Robert Jordan turned his story into a full novel.

I think I saw something about a comic book on G. R. R. Martin's website and it might be based on the Legends I & II short stories. It had something to with hedge knights.

That's the Hedge Knight graphic novel based on his short story (just from Legends I). It's a compliation of the 6? comics in books form. The same people are going to do the Sworn Sword (from Legends II), but it'll take a while before this comes out as a comic. GRRM plans more Egg and Dunk short stories, once the cycle ends (after 6 or 7 short stories, I think), they'll most likely all be published together in a book.

Just started book 3 of Kushiel's Legacy trilogy. Definately rated R for Mature Language, Nudity, and Sexual Situations. Children Under 17 not admited without a Parent.

After this, I'm going to work on a book called the Eyes of God by John Marco. Pretty hefty tome, that one... kinda looking forward to it.

I took a break from reading Legends over the weekend to read Assassin's Apprentice and Royal Assassin and have started Assassin's Quest. Robin Hobb did some good work here. The length of the books is killing me though! I'm not used to reading so much at one time.

Just finished the two Nifft books, The Incomplete Nifft (includes Nifft the Lean and The Mines of Baramor) and The A'rak.

Royal Assassin = One of the best books I've ever read. Bar none.

trying to decide

I just finished up Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy last week, and I rather enjoyed it. I have been trying several new authors recently as many of my old favorites dont seem to be turning out the same quality as they used to. I've been disapointed by the latest stuff by Jordan, Goodkind, Eddings, Brooks, and Feist. So while I'm eagerly waiting for a Feast for Crows. I've read the Briar King by Greg Keyes, and A Cavern of Black Ice by JV Jones, Both were good enough to keep me reading the next books in the series. I also picked up a book by David Gemmel, I believe its called the Sword in the Storm, the first book of the Rigante. I just started it last night its outstanding so far.
