I'm reading Janny Wurts' Ships of Merior.....the 2nd book in her Wars of Light and Shadow series.

Now I'm on to Fugitive Prince by Janny Wurts, or book 4 of the Wars of Light & Shadow

I just finished Paul S Kemp's "Shadowstorm" and absolutely loved it.

I'm now reading Simon Green's "Swords of Haven", a collection of the first three Hawk and Fisher books. Still trying to get used to style of writing on this one, but I think I'll end up enjoying it.

Still reading The Hunter's Blades by RA Salvatore. I'm looking for something different now. Been reading a lot of SCI-Fi and Fantasy.

Bonehunters by Steven Erikson

The sixth book in the series. So far nothing I've read in my life has been as complex, epic and so well put together.
His writing is almost poetic in some ways compared to most others.

My local library just expanded its ILL network, so I was able to finally start Jack Vance's Durdane trilogy with The Faceless Man (also published under the name of The Anome). It's good but not the best Vance has written IMO.

Also reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Interesting mix of fantasy and contemporary, but it's not grabbing me quite as hard as the Dresden Files did.

I just finished a very interesting book entitled Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance. It is full of very interesting insights on human abilities and ethics. He's also a very good writer (I really enjoyed his first book, Complications (which really pulls the curtain back from the inner workings of the surgical profession). Both are highly recommended.

Ugh, STILL trying to slog through "Dies the Fire." Once I finish that (less than 100 pgs to go) I plan on reading Dragons of Winter Night.

 

[Jubilee]

I just finished listening to His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik. I'll probably be waiting about a month before I can get the next one from Library 2 Go.. may break down and buy it before that, though..

Going to go back to listening to Curse of Chalion by Buijold, I think, and then Hat full of Sky by Prachett. =)

Bad Mojo - did you read Blue Moon Rising first?

My local library just expanded its ILL network,

That rocks! It's nice having what amounts to a much larger library, doesn't it?
