[Flexor the Mighty!]

The Fifth Sorceress by Robert E Newcomb - I'd trudging through it, don't know if I will finish it....


Next on the Agenda will be

The Black Company by Glenn Cook
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
by Al Franken

Then I may try to read another New Jedi Order book, they are getting difficult to get through however. After Dark Journey I put the series down and haven't read any since.

After finally finishing off Quicksilver I took what felt like quick side trips (after Quicksilver's length) through Bones of the Earth and The Collapsium. Now I'm back on Gene Wolfe's Short Sun series, book 2--In Green's Jungles.

Right at the moment, a book called New Worlds in the Cosmos: the Discovery of Exoplanets which I find fascinating. I've been boning up for conspiracy theory Dark*Matter style campaign by researching The Threat which is a serious(?) book about the sinister agenda of alien abductions.

I've also checked out the infamous China Mieville's Perdido Street Station from the library for when I'm done with that, and I picked up Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule[/i] from Waldenbooks for $2.99, so it'll go into the queue there somewhen too.

Starting on Perdido Street Station, with Shinju by Laura Joh Rowland in tow.
Couldn't make it through A Thousand Orcs... This was my first Drizzt book, and found I didn't feel for a dude who was able to carve a frost giant into pieces easily.

Couldn't make it through A Thousand Orcs... This was my first Drizzt book, and found I didn't feel for a dude who was able to carve a frost giant into pieces easily.

Try Homeland, it's a better book by leaps and bounds. 1000 Orcs gets better as the book goes on, tho and does happed to be one of the better Drizzt books in the last few years.

I just finished The Lone Drow and was thoroughly entertained. Easily the best Drizzt books since The Legacy. Finally, a villain besides Entreri that is a worthy and interesting adversary to the Companions of the Hall. I highly recommend the first 2 books of this trilogy to all RAS/Drizzt fans and can't wait for the conclusion where the poop will certainly hit the fan...

currently reading On Blue's Waters, the first book of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Short Sun cycle. i thoroughly loved both the Book of the New Sun and Book of the Long Sun series, so i knew i'd eventually get around to reading this. i still think i like New Sun better, and Long Sun best of all, but Blue has been intriguing and quite interesting so far.

after that, i'm moving on to Dune Messiah, having just finished Dune over the summer. i've been meaning to read the Dune series for decades now, and i'm finally getting into it.

other than that, i've also just started The History of Pi, and just finished An Introduction to Game Theory, Elementary Topology, and The Selfish Gene.

Bah I say! Nineteen isn't that many, so start reading already.

Get one every (other) month and in no time* you'll be all caught up.

Except I don't read like that. I read one book... then I'll read something else for
half a year. Then I'll grab book number two. Read something different for six
months. Etc.

The only books not in paperback already will be by the time you get around to picking them up, so the cost shouldn't be too hurtful either.

Well, I'm not bloody readin' 'em if they don't get paperbacked. Damn American
Hardcovers, so big an' clumsy. How am I supposed to read those in bed or in
the bus? Big design flaw I say. But anyway, I live in Iceland and those SW books
aren't going to be reordered... well, ever. Not big enough demand. The only way
for me to get my hands on 'em is through the net and to do that I'll need a credit
card. Maybe, hopefully I'll be able to get some through the library, but the non-
translated scifi/fantasy stuff gets bought it seems, completely at random.

I thought the books were like, eight.

Finished the first book of Robin Hobb's Tawny Man series, Fool's Errand. End of chapter 26 -- yes, I did cry

Next, I read Blaylock's The Last Coin. The thirty peices of silver that were payment for Jesus' betrayal are themselves potent magical artifacts, and very evil. The Wandering Jew has been keeping them apart from each other for 2000 years, since if they are ever all in one place, they would grant tremendous power, power enough to re-write the world. One man has 29 of the coins, and this is the story of the 30th...

Now.. to find something else to read...
