[September] What Are You Reading?

[tetsujin28]

I have to admit, I've completely lost interest in the Martin books.

Right now, I'm in the midst of:
Elizabeth O'Brien: Post-Roman Britain to Anglo-Saxon England: Burial Practices Reviewed;
re-reading Dunsany's The King of Elfland's Daughter;
Paula Gooder: The Pentateuch: A Story of Beginnings;
Barker's The Great and Secret Show (so-so so far);
Lots of stuff for Exalted

I was at the cottage most of the past week and relaxed by reading some novels...

Stormrider, by David Gemmell, is the third book in his Rigante world/loose series. This one, interestingly, takes place in an analogue of the English Civil War. I thought it was pretty good.

Ilium, by Dan Simmons, on the other hand, is absolutely incredible. I am biased since I am a classics fan myself. Highly recommended to anyone likes the Iliad or Greek mythology, or Roger Zelazny's books. I wouldn't say it has the same setup as any of his books, but it's got beings which may or may not be the Greek gods.... whose Mt. Olympus is the 24km high Mons Olympus on Mars...
