[September] What are you reading?

"The Broken Sword" by Poul Anderson, the 1971 edition, not the earlier edtion.

Is the 1971 edition the one that was severly edited, or was that a different edition?

The 1971 editoin was the one that was serverly edited. I have heard that the earlier editon that was written in the 1950s was better but I have not read it. The earlier edtion is much hard to find at any rate and I feel lucky that I was able to get my hands on the 1971 editon.
For the record, the 1971 edition is very, very good. I can only image how great the earlier edition is.

"Wolves of the Calla" (The Dark Tower: Book 5) by Stephen King. It's been on my shelf for over two years, along with book 6 ("Song of Susannah"). Just gotta buy book 7 and I'll finally know how it all turns out.

Four?! That sucks. Not that I hate reading or anything, but I absolutely hate superlong/never-ending book lines. The only reason I never touch the Wheel of Time. Oh well. What's the fourth book's title then?

The fourth book is A Feast for Crows. I thought it was good, but not near as good as the first three. I found Cersei more irritating the more I read about her. Martin has said that the series will probably go for seven books.

"Assassin's Apprentice" by Robin Hobb, first of the Farseer Trilogy. Great start, story is about a bastard son of royalty and how some choices are made for him that give his life focus... as an assassin for the King. Good fantasy, the world is given depth along the way as the boy is educated. Well done characters.

Good book! I loved that series when I first read it!

Eventually, the world will run out of paper.
