What Are You Reading? (March 2005)

[ShadowDenizen]

FInishing the "Dark Tower" series: midway through Book VII as we speak!

Next up?
The one-volume "Bone" collection, the "Y: THe Last Man" collection, and then on to "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell." (Assuming "Traitor's Knot", the new Janny Wurts books doesn't arrive before then!!)

Also waiting in the wings are the Howard Conan and SOlomon Kane books, and a re-read of the Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser series, as well as the "Obsidian" trilogy.

Just finishing "Gods of Mars"... by ERB.

After that I have "Scramble for Africa"... by Thomas Pakenham.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Starting book 3 of 5 in the 'Knights of the Silver Dragon' series. Good series of kids books in the D&D universe. I like the use of known classes, spells, and such straight from the rulebooks.

After that, I'll get into the 'Labyrinth of Evil' Star Wars III prequel.

 

[A2Z]

Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood. Good stuff, I'm on the last chapter now.

 

[Kiln Publications]

I Am Legend by R Matherson and after that I am reading some R E Howard Conan...

 

[jester47]

Just finished up the second Cugel book. Now starting Rhialto the Magnificant. Then it will be on to "The Alphabet vs. the Goddess" then on to Blood Meridian, then the rest of Best of the Realms Vol 1

Just today (well, yesterday as it is past midnight EST) I finished listening to the unabridged audiobook of Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code, which I enjoyed quite a bit. However, since I have been listening to it on my MP3 player when I work out, and my workout schedule has gone to heck lately, it took me forever to read it.

I spent 18+ hours in the car last weekend, so I listened to the audiobook of The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin which was a very engaging and entertaining first person look at the life of an obsessive compulsive. I also heard a forgettable self-help book, and am now about three-quarters of the way through Cerulean Sins, an Anita Blake vampire/werewolf book by Laurell K. Hamilton. Not as good as the book of hers that I listened to several months ago (title escapes me at the moment), but still quite good enough to keep me awake through an overnight trip home and during the commute this past week.

Not reading much actual hardcopy right now. Have the latest Dungeon Magazine on my nightstand and the updated Caverns of Thracia is there as well.

 

[demiurge1138]

Rereading Heir to the Empire, the first of the best series of Star Wars novels. Before that, Hitchhiker's Guide again.

Demiurge out.

Probably some Aquinas for a Medieval philosophy paper and some Kant, Mises, and Hoppe for a Recent philosophy paper over spring break, which is non-existent (thanks to philosophy papers).

Sounds fun. I've also got my hands in Aquinas, Augustine and some lesser-knowns on theories of hypostasis and consubstantiality as (a small) part of a paper on Joyce (I'm reading them in postmodern contexts, so more time is given to the larger projects of hermeneutics in Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer and such). I'm sure my Spring Break will also be sacrificed, to another chapter of this project in fact. Good luck!
