What're You Reading for September?

[Krug]

Goliath, final part of Scott Westerfield's YA Steampunk trilogy. Enough ideas in there for far more books, but Westerfield looks like he's getting out with space to spare for future books.

Wrapping up The Return of the King in my re-reading of LotR.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - actually I'm not reading this for September, I started it today while I was waiting for Dr.s appointment... I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow.

I finished Midnight Sun. It's a great shame that Karl Edward Wagner passed away so young, because Kane is a very compelling character. The teaser of the next Kane novel definitely looked promising.

I often see Kane compared to Conan, and while I can see the influence, his tales remind me more of Elric and Highlander.

I am still reading A Game of Thrones which I started in August and I got in June.

Saw the HBO series, so I know how it ends...

After that, I can read the latest Dresden novel.

I really hate not having time to read, as I actually read quite fast. I haven't read a book since the last Dresden novel, over a year ago.

Just finished Malazan Book 3, and then Artemis Fowl.

Next, undecided. Maybe The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, maybe Reamde. I also have the second Malus Darkblade omnibus waiting in the wings, along with a couple of other books salvaged from the wreckage of Borders' business plans.

Edit: Did Science of Battlestar Galactica, and now started Reamde.

I'm currently halfway through S. M. Sterling's Dies the Fire, where all of a sudden all modern technology stops working at once, to include the fact that suddenly gunpowder no longer burns. After all planes fall out of the sky at once, humanity comes to the sudden realization that we're pretty much screwed, and all of a sudden those guys from the Society for Creative Anachronism have a leg up on the type of survival skills it's going to take to keep alive once the easily-available canned food runs out....

I have read everything that is out so far in this series and have enjoyed it. The Dies the Fire trilogy was very good. There are now 4 books out in the sequel series which are also good (although I enjoyed the original trilogy the most). There is also another series which is associated with it which I never finshed at the time but may have to go back and read through now (Island in the Sea of Time). I made it through 2 of the 3 books but for reasons I no longer remember I didn't really feel compelled to read the third.

To be fair Stirling has a tendency to be a bit unnecessarily graphic and sometimes the story seems to get lost in the description. Still the Dies the Fire stuff is IMHO his best stuff. (I have read most of what he has written.)
