[October] What are you reading?

[Starman]

Finished A Dance With Dragons, read all three Dunk and Egg stories, and now I'm starting Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

 

[Starman]

Old Man's War was excellent. I just finished Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons which was also very good. Now I just started The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

I recently started reading 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri in the ebook version of the Gutenberg project.

However, since at the German Buchmesse a new prose translation has been released, I'm tempted to get that instead - unfortunately at 98 Euros it's still prohibitively expensive

This month I've read Pratchett's [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Snuff-Novel-Discworld-Novels/dp/0062011847/"]Snuff[/ame] (didn't really grip me, but not bad), [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/030788743X"]Ready Player One[/ame] (interesting, even if I'm not old enough to fully appreciate some of the early 80s nostalgia), [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Savage-Scars-Warhammer-40-000/dp/1844165655"]Savage Scars [/ame](40K novel, kind of meh) and [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Spellbound-Book-II-Grimnoir-Chronicles/dp/1451637756"]Spellbound[/ame] (alternate history urban fantasy from the 1930s with magical supers, not as good as the first, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Magic-Book-Grimnoir-Chronicles/dp/1439134340"]Hard Magic[/ame], but still excellent).

Currently reading [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Children-Sky-Zones-Thought/dp/0312875622"]The Children of the Sky[/ame] by Vernor Vinge.

Currently rereading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy because The Alloy of Law comes out in a couple of weeks.

 

[Hungry Like The Wolf]

Doggedly getting through Name of the Wind. So far written impeccably but derivative which is making the slow pace seem like a mountain.

 

[AdmundfortGeographer]

Currently rereading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy because The Alloy of Law comes out in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the reminder! I have it on preorder. Plus, the first 6 chapters are available for digital download. I found it in iBookstore as a free download.

Work book: A Dance of Dragons (Just got to the end of the Daenerys chapter where you go 'YES!!'
Home Book: 'Alone With the Horrors' by Ramsey Campbell. I am hopelessly addicted to abebooks.com now. My collection of 1st Edition Arkham Publishing books has begun.

I just finished "The Proof House," the final book in the "Fencer's Trilogy" by KJ Parker. The whole series was well-written and engaging--especially if you like hearing how bows are made and other engineering stuff--but meandered all over the place.

The ending was particularly unsatisfying to me, with no resolution whatsoever. Most of the main characters were quickly killed "off screen" in the last five pages.
