[September] What are you reading?

[xmanii]

The Runes of the Earth, by Stephen R Donaldson. So far it's decent. Also reading Condemnation by Richard Baker, the third book in the War of the Spider Queen series, and is pretty good.
Also have Blackstaff I want to read, which I will probably start after tRotE.

The Sacred Paw: The Bear in Nature, Myth, and Literature by Paul Shepard and Barry Sanders

Hah!!! I just finished "Game of Thrones" and now I'm reading "Dragons of Autumn Twilight."

Loved GoT, digging the Dragonlance book too so far.

Just finished reading the original Dragonlance Chronicles and am now starting on the Song of Ice and Fire trilogy.

A finger puppet version of ASoIaF would rule!

It sure would. I nominate Jaime for the middle-finger, well, at least in the first two books.

Finishing up Kage Baker's Dark Mondays, a great anthology. There are some really fun short stories in here (such as the Lovecraftian Calamari Curls) and a nice pirate novella about Captain Morgan and his attack on Panama.

And I've started Vellum, by Hal Duncan. Ho-Lee Crap! I haven't been this excited since Perdido Street Station.

Armageddon's Children by Terry Brooks.

Good no-brainer. But I like The Knight Of the Word so it fits me.

Just started The Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King afet ran aborted attempt to reread Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson.

and DZUR is on order with buy.com (my local B&N never got it in! I ordered it with my Colossal Red Dragon). Also have Julian May's just-finished series to start.

Just read that in a day after finishing The Cestus Deception.

My plan is to read the Dying Earth books next, with a smattering of game books and comcis mixed in.

Just finished Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian which, oddly enough (a kudo to whoever can tell me why) led in nicely to Sahara by Michael Palin. Also, finally picked up a copy of The October Horse : A Novel of Caesar and Cleopatra by Colleen McCullough, the sixth novel in her series chronicling the demise of the Roman Republic (it begins with First Man in Rome and is highly recommended by me and others). If you ever want to add a political strain to an RPG, reading through this series will be all the education you need. I also just got my hands on a copy of Thud by Terry Pratchett which I might try to get started before the end of the month. Pratchett is something I love, a lot, but need to read in spurts or his style becomes tiresome for whatever reason. Perhaps a case of too-much-of-a-good-thing syndrome? Couple all of that with my usual history and other non-fiction reading, which tends to be in chunks and chapters rather than straight through, and I'm up to my bleary eyeballs in text to consume.

Took a detour from Sahara by Michael Palin to check out Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell. Pretty damned humorous.

I just read, for the 1st time, Deed of Pasenarrion. I'd never gotten around to reading and finally just bought the book. I enjoyed the series immensely.
