So what are you reading this year 2021?

Finished Elfstones of Shannara and Wishsong of Shannara. They are better than Sword of Shannara. A few good ideas but is too repetitive and predictable. I would have like these books when I was 13-14. I'm done with Terry Brooks.

Starting David Edding's Pawn of Prophecy (Belgariad book 1) for the first time.

Planetary is so good - I love John Cassaday's art.

Finished Saberhagen's Second Book of Swords. I liked this one more than the first volume. It felt more connected to the Empire of the East, and the heist/dungeon crawl setup made for a more focused plot.

Now I'm reading Barry Strauss' The Spartacus War.

Planetary is fantastic.

Starting David Edding's Pawn of Prophecy (Belgariad book 1) for the first time.

I really liked the Belgariad. Excellent series I need to reread again.

Strauss' The Spartacus War was excellent. If all his books are this good, I'm going to have to track the rest down!

Now I'm back to Appendix N, with Lin Carter's The Enchantress at World's End.

Haven't had much reading time recently. Primarily reading Steelheart (Sanderson, Reckoners book 1, trade paperback) while Dawn (Butler, Lilith's Brood book 1, paperback omnibus) and Breakout (Phillion, Indestructables book 2, kindle ebook) linger.

Reading is not just something I greatly enjoy for itself, but also a recharge mechanism for me. But with go-somewhere social engagements still low compared to "the before times", I don't need the recharge as much. Plus I have more evening activities scheduled remotely with people that take up time.
