What are you reading? [July]

Another month, another thread.

I just finished reading (not ten minutes ago) White, the third book of the Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker. Though that's not my normal genre, it's a really good trilogy (or as I heard someone say recently, "triology.")

Next is an attempt at the first non-fiction I've read in a while--The Nothing That Is by Robert Kaplan. It's on the history of zero, which isn't an uncommon topic for some reason.

Well, that's me for now.

I just started The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. With limited reading time in the last two days, I've still managed to get halfway through it. It's fantastic.

I read that a few years ago... Nice book.

I am currently trying to finish the New Jedi Order book series of Starwars, and just read
Star by Star from Troy Denning and Dark Journey fom Elaine Cunningham. The next 3 books will probably arrive within a few days...

The books are nice read, though Dark Journey was a bit slow - on the other hand, Star by Star was quite long and packed...
Both books reminded me that I didn't read the Young Jedi Knights novels, as a few characters and stories weren't familiar to me. But that doesn't really matter...

Working from memory here: the trilogy includes Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, and is collectively called the Avatar Trilogy.

I'm reading Cthulhu 2000, a collection of Lovecraft-inspired short horror stories.

 

[Richards]

I just started Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. I'm a little dubious about the Elvis ghost described on the inside cover flaps, but Koontz usually delivers.

I'm beginning to lose track of what I've read recently...

Lemme see. I recently re-read Dune and Hyperion. I also an odd children's book from the 1920s, A High Wind in Jamaica.

Currently I am reading Terry Jones' Who Murdered Chaucer, which appears to be equal parts history, wild speculation, and questionable assertations.

I started Hamilton's Judas Unchained, then got distracted by Sarah Monette's The Virtu. I got a few pages into that when I found myself thinking 'Either she is remarkably gifted in summarizing the past these characters share, or there was a book before this that I missed'. I check, and there is. So I put it aside until Melusine arrived. Now I'm a few pages into that one.
