What are you reading? (April 2005)

[Pants]

Still slogging through Cryptonomicon.

Next up, The Silver Spike by Glen Cook and then I'll try and read The Dragonbone Chair... again.

Recently read Cormyr by Ed Greenwood & Jeff Grubb. Got Death of a Dragon sat on my shelf ready to read, just waiting for Beyond the high road to arrive in the mail before I plough through both of those.

Currently reading Atlantis Found by Clive Cussler which I'd had sat on my shelf for ages (bought it on a whim, cos I'm a sucker for anything Atlantis related), but never got around to actually reading it. But I really enjoyed the movie Sahara, so decided to give the book a try and I really enjoy it, might try another Dirk Pitt novel sometime once I'm caught up on my Forgotten Realms reading.

I'm looking forward to Realms of the Dragons II anthology, and really hoping that J.V. Jones actually gets around to finishing the last book of the Sword of Shadows trilogy sometime this year. Amazon has it listed as being released in December, but then they said that about February, Spet 2004 and April 2004 also, so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm reading Gardens of the Moon. It was slow starting, but it's starting to pick up now (I'm at the beginning of the Darujhistan section).

Just started re-reading those here; next is GG Kay's latest (Last Night of the Sun). And hopefully by the time I'm finished with those, the fifth Mazalan mass-market paperback will hit Amazon.ca.

The timing wasn't quite right on this. I finished LNotS -- pretty good, not quite as gripping as Kay normally is, but fewer "why is this brilliant character being so stupid" moments -- but my copy of Midnight Tides just shipped from Amazon.ca yesterday. So I'm rereading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time prequel novel New Spring to fill in the gap, mostly because I've got a PC on the brink of the shawl in my PBP d20 WoT game.

The mass-market of Midnight Tides is out?! Must order now!

Anyone know when The Bonehunters is coming out?

 

[MonsterMash]

Kirsty MacColl: The One & Only by Karen O'Brien
and
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H. P. Lovecraft

Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears that he's Cthulhu!

(Okay I know that the big C isn't in the Case of Charles Dexter Ward, but I couldn't resist the joke)

The mass-market of Midnight Tides is out?! Must order now!

Well, unless Amazon.ca is lying to me about my pre-order shipping (me, I'm hoping that the US editions catch up with the Canadian ones pretty quickly; shipping from Canuckistan is annoying) ...

Just finished Gardens of the Moon, and starting on Jim Butcher's (of the Harry Dresden Series) first fantasy, Furies of Calderon. It's an interesting world so far; many people though not all can call 'furies'; elemental-like beings. So far, they've mentioned wood, water, earth and air.
