What are you reading this year 2020?

Oh, and he writes very, efficiently. No dozens of pages with descriptions and characters that aren't all that important. It's an amazing sparse series, really. I know it was party (mostly?) published as pieces originally, or something like that. But even then, very sparse.

That's common in many authors of the period. The complete 10-volume Books of Amber could be two books today.

I've lost track of what I've read. Currently reading the The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks; have read the Sun-Wolf trilogy by Barbara Hambly (gods I love those books); and a few more Judge Dee books. And The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander.

Oh, good reminder on the Judge Dee books. Will have to pick those up again. It's been 30+ years, read at least one in high school/early college.

They're excellent. They all scream D&D adventure.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was pretty good. Not amazing. Faster read than I expected; thick, high-quality paper and a lot of endnotes.

Terry Pratchett...now there's a man who's stories have inspired a LOT of d&d.

Finished Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings and now halfway through the next book Words of Radiance.

How long is that series supposed to be? 4 books published so far? (I haven't started Kingkiller Chronicles yet due to slowness of releases. Treating Stormlight Archive the same)

How has that changed from the first campaign setting guide? Did they advance the timeline or something?
