Just Finished: The Baron of Magister Valley, by Steven Brust, a Paarfi-written romance that owes a bit to The Count of Monte Cristo, which reveals the startling backstory of a figure from the Vlad Taltos novels. My jaw nearly dropped at the final reveal.

Currently Reading: I, Lucifer, by Peter O'Donnell, one of a series of novels the creator of the Modesty Blaise comic strip wrote about the series' characters. Dated as heck, but a fun ride.

Planning to Read: The Incrementalists, by Skyler White and Steven Brust.

I've been waffling picking that up, and this just pushed me over the edge.
 

Man, so far, I just cannot get into Tales of Undying Earth.....I may need to set it aside occasionally, as it is a series of short "stories" anyway.....

Still reading Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance.

Still reading The Battle of Salamis by Barry Strauss.
 

I just finished Haldeman's The Forever War. Definitely a massively influential work that has filtered down through the ages. Parts of it remained dated, while other parts were quite prescient.

Next is, as indicated, Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword and Sorcery, by Brian Murphy.
 

The Forever War was also hugely controversial in the sci-fi community, it is a great book though, pretty much in the 'must read' category.

Right now I am finishing a collection of short stories by John D MacDonald called Other Times, Other Worlds.
