[September] What are you reading?

[delericho]

The third, and no new thread? Must be my turn...

Just finished "Shards of Sin", the first volume in the Shattered Star adventure path. Good stuff.

Started "Atonement" by Ian McEwan. It's proceeding at a fine pace; I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

Next up is "Master & Commander", the first of the Aubrey/Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brien. And after that, I don't know - some Discworld perhaps, or "Jane Eyre".

There are no game-related books on my to-read pile, so the next one there will be the next Pathfinder.

I finished Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie a few days ago and now, inspired by watching A Game of Thrones, I've finally picked up A Feast for Crows that's been on my bookshelf since it first appeared in hardback.

 

[Umbran]

At the moment, working on Fuzzy Nation, by John Scalzi. So far, I'm rather impressed how he's kept much of the charm of the original.

I just started PJ Farmer's The Other Log of Phileas Fogg. I'm a fan of the Wold Newton Universe concept in general (I have Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life and Tarzan Alive as well as The Dark Heart of Time, but I'm still trying to get my hands on The Adventures of the Peerless Peer.) and a huge fan of Verne, but it's been so long since I read Around the World in 80 Days that I'm going to have to stop reading The Other Log and reread Verne. Thank goodness for Project Gutenberg!

 

[Agamon]

The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Finished Hyperion a few weeks ago, and Fall of Hyperion is pretty much essential if you want closure to the story. Good books, though.

Also, Over the Edge of the World, an account of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world.

Been reading old Dragon mags from CD archive on my tablet, I never really read through them all, good stuff.

I read The Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear over the course of the last week and a half or so. I was extremely impressed. Kvothe is funny in that he hits basically every indicator for a character being a Mary Sue, but doesn't come off that way at all.

I'm currently halfway through The Two Towers. I love Tolkien's phrasing.

Between the Kingkiller books and TTT, I finished a collection of Poul Anderson short stories called Time and Stars. It was good. Had a nifty robot civilization story, one of the only ones I've ever seen outside The Cyberiad.

After having finished [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Rivers-London-1/dp/0575097582/ref=la_B000AP1TJQ_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1346779242&sr=1-4"]Rivers of London[/ame] from Ben Aaronovitch I had judged it good enough to go for the second book in the series, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Moon-Over-Soho-Ben-Aaronovitch/dp/0345524594/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346779342&sr=1-1&keywords=moon+over+soho"]Moon over Soho[/ame]. And so far I am still having a blast reading his books.

Today I received my copy of Exposé 10. If any of you is a fan of high profile digital art or is working in the art industry then I can only recommend this fantastic series of books. I am buying Exposé since 10 years (one is released each year) and the quality of the art as well as the quality of the book itself are still astounding. If you can afford it then get the leather bound limited edition. It is worth it.

 

[Krug]

Halfway through Barry Hughart's Bridge of Birds. I admit getting jolted out of it by a character that uses the term Boopsy. Otherwise, it's been quite entertaining.

 

[Stumblewyk]

Just finished Perdido Street Station by China Miéville, about to finish The Ten by Leland Myrick, and about to start Deadline by Mira Grant.

 

[Zaukrie]

Started assassins apprentice on this business trip....
