What are you reading? (April 2005)

[Ruined]

Once again, divulge your current literary pursuits!

I finally got a copy of 'A Cavern of Black Ice' by J.V. Jones. I heard all of the good reviews from people here last year, but could never lay my hands on a copy of the paperback. Pretty sad when the hardback for book 2 was out on shelves. So far, so good.

Also pending, I have 'Into the Darkness (World at War, Book 1)' by Harry Turtledove. He's got so many books out, I figured I would take a stab at one of his fantasy series. I've only tackled the first few chapters, but I like what I've read.

I'm reading "Witchhunter" by C.L. Werner. It's a Warhammer novel. It won't rate on any best of fantasy listing, but it's been an enjoyable read. After that I have a bunch of Drizzt books I've been putting off and the last two books of King's Dark Tower series.

Slowly making my way through Paradise Lost and The Once and Future King. They both deserve the italics.

Just finished re-reading the Coldfire Trilogy (Friedmann) and getting ready to start on "The Dreaming Tree" by C. J. Cherryh.

Nameless Cults by Robert E. Howard put out by Chaosium.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Nameless Cults by Robert E. Howard put out by Chaosium.

Very good collection, but it's missing a few that really should be in there (can't remember the titles off hand)

Gardens of the Moon. First book of the Malazan series. Already seeing some things I'm going to adapt.

 

[Rl'Halsinor]

Re-reading all of Glen Cook's Garret, P.I. fantasy-detective series. Started with Sweet Silver Blues from 1987 (man its been 18 years since I last read it!). Great stuff and fun too.

 

[Krug]

Drachenfels by 'Jack Yeovil' (aka Kim Newman), an old Warhammer fantasy book. Very well-written and quite unconventional from your typical Sword & Sorcery fare.

 

[Krieg]

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

Also going back and re-reading all of the Thieves World books in preperations for the upcoming D20 version by Green Ronin.
