[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8679914, member: 508"] So I finished the two books I brought on my business trip. [i]No Blade of Grass[/i] was interesting, if a little outdated. By holy cow, [i]Fire Bringer[/i] was outstanding - which very much worked in my favor, as it was 498 pages long and I had intended it to be my primary entertainment in the hotel room and on the trip back home. (And in perfect timing, I finished the book about 5 minutes before the last leg of my flight home landed.) But it was pretty much "Lion Ling" by way of "Animal Farm" with deer as the main characters in medieval Scotland, and it was fascinating. As an indicator of how well I liked it, I'll be offering it up to one of my players this Wednesday - I generally only recommend her the books I really found to be worthwhile, and this one definitely made the cut. (Other recommendations have included the "Gentleman Bastards" series, the "Lincoln Rhyme" series, and [i]Piranesi[/i].) Next up is a book I purchased while on my trip: [i]The Ghost Machine[/i] by James Lovegrove, the one novel in the "Firefly" series (thus far) I had somehow failed to pick up when it first came out.
