[June] What are you reading?

[Warrior Poet]

Recently finished Stephenson's The System of the World, and am preparing to start Jared Diamond's Collapse.

But with all the recent talk on the boards about Leiber, I'm tempted to pick up the old Fafhrd and Mouser stories again.

I'm between books. I think I'll re-read the Song of Fire and Ice series in anticipation of the 4th book.

I'm struggling through Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, which is dense, relevant, and so far, tedious.

I hope it gets less tedious for you. Invisible Man is an outstanding book, not only in the story it tells, but how it's crafted.

I've been struggling to finish Passages by Connie Willis. It is an interesting concept but the should have edited about one-third of the book right out, mostly in the first half. It was so repetitious it was painful.

I just started Shadowmarch ]/u] by Tad Williams. It will probably take a long time to finish since I really should be doing reading for my class and the research project I need to submit.

"The Light Ages" by Ian McLeod, good stuff. Steampunky but with some nifty historical anarchopolitical bits.

Supposedly, the latest harry potter and the (translated) 5th book in the Geralt of Rivia series have to come out this month. I´m waiting for them.

I'm currently reading 'Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code', which is very interesting.

On an RPG front, I'm working my way through the Planar Handbook, with an eye to adapting it to my current game.

On a fiction front, I've got a few books I'm saving for the beach.

I just rushed through 'a Forest of Stars' Book 2 of the saga of seven suns. Ive picked up the third ('Horizon Storms'), and I hope to get it done soon so I can get the 4th, due out I think this month (itll probably have to wait a bit).

Once Ive finished that, I have 'Wizard for Hire', by Jim Butcher that I was going to read, but Im thinking of holding off a while, and seeing what this Lieber stuff is all about .

Everyone keeps telling me how good the grey mouser is, so I think Ill have to dig up a copy.

Just got my copy of "Polgara the Sorceress". I´ve just read "Belgarath the Sorcerer" and I must say that I´m pleased.
It has been a while since I read Eddings and I´m ashamed to say that I´ve forgotten how good he is. I´m seriously tempted to read The Belgariad again.
