[May] What are you reading?

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Finished Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky(great great book) and am now moving onto the Myth Inc. books.

 

[Krug]

Lois McMaster Bujold's The Curse of Chalion. Pretty good so far.

 

[Mog Elffoe]

I've just plowed through a bunch of David Gemmel's books--Legend, First Chronicles of Druss the Legend, Legend of Deathwalker, White Wolf, Waylander, & In the Realm of the Wolf--and enjoyed them for the most part. Some events tend to repeat themselves, espeically the whole 'Alamo' situation.

I just started Tomb, by F. Paul Wilson yesterday on a friend's suggestion. He says the Repairman Jack books are great and that's enough for me, but has anyone else tried them yet? After I finish Tomb what should I read next?

 

[Welverin]

Finished Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky(great great book) and am now moving onto the Myth Inc. books.

If the books are M.Y.T.H. INC. how are you going to read them?

I've been concentrating on the Exalted Player's Guide, which I'm almost done with. After that I think I'll focus on Myth-ion Improbable.

Prelude to Foundation by Asimov.

Good stuff, classic.

 

[Mallus]

Oscar and Lucinda, an actual real live litrachur book.

Hey, I likes me some Peter Carey. Have you read The Tax Collector or The Strange Life of Tristan Smith. They're crazy.

I've reading epic fantasy for the first time in a dog's age. Sean McMullen's Voyage of the Shadowmoon. I loved his Greatwinter SF sequence, and I have to say, while I'll not entirely sure he isn't parodying fantasy novels in Shadowmoon, its a great fun read. Marvellously quip-y and fast-paced.

Also up: finish re-reading Bank's Consider Phlebas. Start Oe's Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kid --how's that for a title? And buy Tony Daniel's Superluminal.

 

[Sarigar]

Halfway through Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I have not read The DaVinci Code yet. Good book so far.

 

[Pielorinho]

Hey, I likes me some Peter Carey. Have you read The Tax Collector or The Strange Life of Tristan Smith. They're crazy.

The only other book I've read by Carey is Jack Maggs, which was a whole lotta fun--reminded me of The Fingersmith, another novel about shady characters in Victorian England. I'll check out these others. Thanks for the recommendation!

Oscar and Lucinda was dense and rich, and I wanted to throw the book against the wall at a certain point; anyone who's read it will know when . It was worth reading, but my God, Carey's a mean sumbitch author!

[Morpheus]

The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian by REH and I'll start reading A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith in June when school is out.

 

[Mister Underhill]

I've been wanting to pick up the first two books of The Baroque Cycle

Halivar, I don't know if you have a Costco near you, but I picked up both books there for about half their retail price. I recommend, however, that you try out Cryptonomicon first to see if you dig Stephenson's style (or maybe you already know him).

I only recently began Quicksilver. I hate to jump the gun with a review of a book that I've barely only started, so I'll just snip it right here...
