Started Dust of Dreams by Steven Erikson.

I love it when an extended multi-volume epic fantasy actually nears and ending and didn't go in circles getting there or have to work through authorial writer's block/burn out.

Is it good?


I'm currently reading The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuscinski. Impulse buy but interesting so far. To quote wikipedia:

The Emperor: Downfall of an Autocrat, published in 1978, is Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuściński's analysis of the decline and fall of Haile Selassie's regime in Ethiopia. In 1974, while the Ethiopian Army was still busy consolidating power, Kapuściński "traveled to Ethiopia to seek out and interview Selassie's servants and closest associates on how the Emperor had ruled and why he fell." [1] In large part, the book is a study of the workings of a royal court.

Is it good?

Just starting it, so I'll have to let you know.

 

[Pig Champion]

I'm re-reading the Scott Pilgrim books in anticipation for the movie.

 

[Krug]

Bernard Cornwell's Vagabond, 2nd in his series The Grail Quest. Not bad, and quite fast-paced. Good if you want insight into battle strategy in 14th century Europe.

After more than six months I've finally reached the end of Colleen McCullough's Rome series, so I'm now reading Homer's Iliad, Fagel's translation.
