[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7014804, member: 20564"] I have the best of dilemmas - too many choices. I've got two "open" books. I've been reading a lot of Sir Terry and I'm a few pages into Sourcerer, which is technically a reread because I read it two decades ago. I'm so early in it I may just put it aside for later. I'm also reading non-fiction The Good Gut by Doctors Sonnenburg (married researchers at Stanford) about gut flora. Technically I have a third open - I am rereading Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed, but that's on my phone for "I'm waiting and have no book" emergencies. So it's a different category and doesn't count. In front of me I can continue reading Sir Terry. After Sourcerer I have Eric (Faust), and I also have Moving Pictures elsewhen in the Discworld, neither of which I've ever read. But my first choice is Under Heaven by the estimable Guy Gavriel Kay, after strong recommendations in last months' reading thread and my own enjoyment of his other works. On top of that, a few days before ordering that I had found an older document where I had been collecting book recommendations and had ordered several from authors I never read to expand my horizons. Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip (used and hard to find) Fated (The first Alex Verus novel) by Benedict Jacka Basically, they all got recommended by at least two sources, and those sources also recommended things I had read and liked. So we'll see. (Please keep any comments to the general like "great characterization" so as to be spoiler free. And I'll get through them soon enough - if you have negative feedback I'd be glad to discuss it when I'm done with them but please hold until then.) [/QUOTE]
