What are you reading? (April 2005)

Dead Man's Hand: Five Tales of the Weird West by Nancy A. Collins

Looks interesting, especially since I'm running a Weird West PBP. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[Krieg]

Thanks for the heads-up.

No prob.

It's a nice little collection of stories.

Its funny how similar some of our tastes are.
I just got done reading tons of Ron E Howard stuff :Conan the Cimmerian 1&2, and then Solomon Kane.
Now I'm half way through Turtledove's "In the Presence of Mine Enemies"

I should be done that soon, I'll probably read Under the Eagle next back to Rome where I am always comfortable!

This has been an eclectic month for me...

I abandoned my quest to finish the Aubrey-Maturin books at a go and slid back into other old haunts.

First up I read the Mabinogian.

After that I re-read the Harry Potter series (books 1-5)

And then read Swords of Lankhmar.

Now I have to figure out where to go next. My thought is to go back to O'Brian (pick up with The Truelove and the other five remaining books in the series); OTOH, I might head back into my Arthurian readings for a bit. **shrug** I'll edit this tomorrow when I have made a decision.

(later)
So, Sunday I reread the first two Hitchhiker's Guide books. Hmm. Think I need to settle on something meatier

Still reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson, also GURPS Illuminatii and the Pocket Modern Handbook

 

[Dakkareth]

Sea of Silver Light, fourth and final book in Tad Williams Otherland

Great fun, though a little longwinded. One of my favourite authors .

 

[Kesh]

I'm about halfway through The DaVinci Code right now. The writing's not so great, but I'm enjoying the story.

Next is probably Perdido Street Station.

Well, I visited my daughter this week/weekend so I had 20 hours in the car for audiobooks. I listened to (unfortunately abridged versions of) the following: The Codex by Douglas Preston, a fun little adventure/mystery in the Honduran jungles. Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale, which would have been better if I hadn't been driving through a snowstorm while listening to it. The Best Awful by Carrie Fisher, yet another story of the mentally unbalanced (an apparent theme for me the last couple of months), which was a little slow in places, but still fun.

Dragons of Darkness currently

 

[Thanee]

A Storm of Swords (G.R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, Part III) - will be continued soon after a little pause.

After that, I already have Quicksilver Zenith (Stan Nicholl's Quicksilver Trilogy, Part II) waiting.
