September 2008: What are you reading?

[megamania]

At work I am reading a series lent to me by a friend-

Magic The Gathering: Time Spiral. Just started book 2 Thursday. Not too bad but I get the sense I am missing out by not being a player of the game.



At home I am returning to my comicbook roots. Alan Moore is the author of the month. Rereading LoEG and then I'll be consumed by Watchmen.

 

[Exquisite Dead Guy]

I'm reading all Paul S. Kemp's Erevis Cale books back-to-back (currently on Dawn of Night) and listening to The Chronicles of Amber (currently on book 9 - Knight of Shadows).

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

 

[Wombat]

Just finished a re-read of The Life & Times of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation: Part 1, the Pox Party. Quite a different and intriguing take on the early days of the American Revolution.

Currently starting another re-read of a classic: Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy (The Fifth Business, The Manticore, World of Wonders), one of the most fascinating series of books I have ever read in my life.

 

[Croesus]

Just finished Marie Brennan's Midnight Never Come, an outstanding Elizabethan fantasy with plenty of mystery and intrigue.

I'm currently reading The Most Noble Adventure by Greg Behrman about the Marshall Plan. Pretty good so far (1/3 of the way).

Next up is The Great Wall by John Man about the Great Wall(s) of China.

I just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Powerful book. I'm now eagerly looking forward to the movie in November.

Currently readking Elak of Atlantis. Fun stuff.

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson

Hilarious and touching. You're in for a treat with that one.

I just finished Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett, and have started Into a Dark Realm by Raymond Feist.

Pillars of the Earth was probably the quickest 1000 page book I've read in a while. I wasn't expecting to like it, but thought it was pretty well done.
