What are you reading? (April 2005)

[Captain Tagon]

IMO, it was the perfect Warhammer novel. Dark, dreary, and dismal even through the end. I picked up the collected Eisenhorn triolgy because of that. I figured that if Warhammer had such a good book about my favorite class of character (witch hunters) that they could do the same for the Inquisition in WH40K.

Yeah, it was really well done I thought. One of the few things I'd ever read that seriously creeped me out enough to give me trouble sleeping.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Errand Of Fury by Kevin Ryan (a Classic Star Trek novel)

 

[Greylock]

Niel Gaimen's American Gods.

And here I thought I was the only person, DnDer at least, who hadn't read this. Picked it up at the library today and have already been grabbed by the first chapter.

I just finished Revenge of the Sith today. I'm REALLY psyched for the movie now!

I've now moved back to Stephen King's Wolves of the Calla. Now that the Dark Tower series is at an end, I find myself not wanting to finish for the mere point that I know I only have two more books before that excellent series comes to an end.

I just finished the Baroque Cycle trilogy (The System of the World being the last) - and then I read "Absolute Friends" (Le Carre) which was rather interesting - and now I'm about to crack open "The Informant" and then "Conspiracy of Fools" (Both true stories about two different corporate corruption scandals - should be interesting reading - the second one is about Enron, though I did read a comprehensive book about that already, this one also looks interesting).

I am single-handedly keeping BN and Amazon in business (between 2,500 books and 400 DVDs)

Working on Realms of the Dragons now.....

 

[Laurel]

Trying to move away from the scifi & fantasy books for a whole month.... lets see if I can do it. There are lots of books I have been holding off on reading since I have ben swamped with series books. So for this month:

Just finished Imzadi... I know, I know it's not great and most if it out of date as the series went on, but still.... I don't find it too horrible.

Also a total girl book- Watermelon by Marian Keyes

A funny, depressing, romatic book that most on these boards would dare to even pick up But for others who like the more girly books it's good. I've only gotten a few chapters in, but it's kept me interested. And comes highly recommded by those who love romance type books.

Next up Dan Brown's Angels & Demons. Interesting and a fun read.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Buddhism, IMO the best line of books ever to be printed . Very informative and precise.

But for school, I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. Only read the first chapter, I haven't drawn up any opinions about it yet.

 

[ThaDium]

I've got a few books on tap:

"The Ice Opinion" - Ice T with Heidi Siegmund (Ice T's views on race relations, the position of the black community and how to raise it up)

"The Warrior Within" - John Little (On the philosophical teachings of Bruce Lee)

"Legacies" - F. Paul Wilson (The second Reparman Jack novel)

Well, that's about it. I'm surte I'll be picking up some comics soon, but they don't arrive until later today.

Now rereading SnowCrash before getting The Confusion
