June - What are you reading?

[Welverin]

I finished up Chapterhouse: Dune, and started No Mans Land so I can give it back to the friend who gave it to me.

Still working on Exalted the Fair Folk on the side.

 

[Tolen Mar]

Starship Troopers, for like the 6th time. I love that book.

It won't take me long, though. I need to find another light read for afterwards.

Oh, and my library got a slew of Calvin and Hobbes collections, so I'm reading "Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat" and "Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'"

 

[Pielorinho]

I love The Scar, can't stand Starship Troopers, and think a Saturday morning spent with Calvin and Hobbes is just about perfect .

This morning i just finished reading The Well of Lost Plots, a book by Jasper Fforde that's a slapstick absurd murder mystery set in about two dozen famous novels. Light reading, but pretty enjoyable.

Yesterday I finished Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things..., which I cannot recommend highly enough. The introduction, by Lemony Snicket, had me laughing louder than anything I've read in a very long time. It contains stories by Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Safran Foer, Kelly Link, and a bunch of other top-notch writers. My library had it in the juvenile section, which is I think a mistake: it's more Young Adult, but it's the kind of YA book that any geek can appreciate. Check it out!

[Wombat]

Just finished a re-read of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince in preparation for next month.

I think I'm going to take a turn at re-reading some Tanith Lee now, probably the Paradys books. I also hav a couple of books on Mayan history that I want to poke into, but haven't decided on which one yet...

 

[Tinker Gnome]

The Dark Queen by Micheal & Teri Williams. It is a Dragonlance book.

 

[delericho]

Still reading "Shaman's Crossing" by Robin Hobb and "Expedition to the Demonweb Pits".

I did take a break to catch up on the last few Dungeon magazines, though, and finished 147 this morning.

Next up is probably "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

 

[Tolen Mar]

Oh, I forgot to mention the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, since I recently joined a Greyhawk campaign (And bizzarely enough, never actually played in straight GH before).

 

[PhoenixDarkDirk]

I've been reading the following books: Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, professional wizard Harry Dresden investigates murders which look like they were done by werewolves; Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, there's a haunted opera house on Discworld; Star Wars: Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn, a Jedi-led exploratory mission runs into some trouble in this background for the Trawn Trilogy; and The Complete Short Stories of H. G. Wells, the title should explain that one.

 

[Decado]

I bought Dead Witch Walking last night by Kim Harrison. I am only into the first chapter so far. I just finished the first 10 Dresden Files books and was looking for something in a similar genre and it caught my eye. I am a little leery of the explicit sex warning for the books as I am hoping it does not go all porno like the later Anita Blake books did.

[Ibram]

I'm finishing up on "America: The Last Best Hope pt 2" which is an amazing look at US history from WWII to the Reagan years (right now I'm at the mid '70s).

Next I'll be reading "Battlespace" by Ian Douglas, the continuation of a series that I was reading a few years ago (but never finished for reasons I cant quite remember).

I've also got a stack of CoC adventures to read through: "Shadows of Yog-Sothoth", "Mansions of Madness", "Tatters of the King", and "A Resection of Time"
