[Zaukrie]

Finally finished Gardens of the Moon.

Once I read more at one time, it didn't seem as daunting. ... But still. So many characters. I own the next two, but I think I'll finish Priest by Colville, then try something else.

Finished Hodgson's The Boats of the Glen Carrig last Friday. That was a most excellent and chilling read, one that does not feel as old as it is. The way the fear of the very real threats of the open ocean worked with the fear of unknowable horrors was a well-balanced escalation device. I'm surprised it's not been adapted for the screen, because it seems like it would make for a great movie.

And at the price of "free" on Kindle, definitely worth it.

Now I'm re-reading RE Howard's The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane.

[Ralif Redhammer]

Finished re-reading REH's Savage Tales of Solomon Kane. I'm really mixed on the collection. When the stories are at their best, they're astonishingly good. Solomon Kane is like the anti-Michael Myers; we never find out what drives him, have only hints about his history; he is a relentless force for good.

But then there is some truly horrific racist language - which while present in REH's other tales, really comes into focus with the stories set in Africa. After a certain point, I ended up skipping those.

Now I'm re-reading Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 1. Oh, do I love the schlocky covers of the editions I have:

I finished Medicus last night (skipping an hour or more of sleep at bedtime to do so - I wanted to see how it ended and didn't want to wait until today to do so). It was a great read and now I'm starting up the first sequel, Terra Incognita, in which Roman army doctor Gaius Petreius Ruso is stationed even further north in the backwaters of Britannia, in the lands where his new slave Tilla is from - and in which he'll get embroiled in another mystery against his better judgment, this time involving Tilla's former lover, who's charged with killing a Roman soldier.

Pretty close to Worm, then. Worm is around 11,000 pages long (serialized), and the sequel, Ward, is around 4,500 pages.

You should try reading The Wandering Inn. Worm is about 1.8 million words, The Wandering Inn is currently at 8.3 million words and nowhere close to done.

Practical Guide to Evil is also another excellent, long web serial.

I just recieved "The Illuminated Edda" by Andrew Valkauskas, author the RPG "Fate of the Norns"
I've just skimmed over it so far, but it looks delightful (and got much praise from Ed Greenwood)

 

[Eyes of Nine]

Started reading Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb.

Read the first trilogy earlier this year. Appreciated it a lot. Have the first book of her 2nd series, the LiveShips trilogy, but haven't cracked it open yet.

 

[trappedslider]

read Invisible Sun, the third and final volume of Charles Stross's second Merchant Princes series. It was okay. I may reread the series if I'm bored and don't have anything else but it won't join my list of books/series I read every year.
