and I'm currently reading Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko.
Just curious to know what you think of this. It's one of my all-time favorite fantasy series (although
Last Watch is somewhat of an anticlimactic finale), but I haven't heard from too many people who have read it.
I myself am working on:
Before They Are Hanged, by Joe Abercrombie... this series is becoming sort of dull. I like Major West's character transformation, but aside from that, the story arcs seem to be droning on and on, especially the Logen and pals one.
A Game of Thrones, by GRRM -- the electronic version, on my brand new Kindle. Re-reading this, because I've been wanting to revisit the series before the show begins (or before
Dance comes out???), and I haven't read the early books in many years. I'm noticing a LOT of small details that I seem to have glossed over during my first two reads of the series.
On the subject of Kindles (or e-readers in general)... I'm noticing that
A Game of Thrones has a fuck-ton of typos in it. Not enough to make it unreadable, but certainly enough to cause me to take notice. I'm assuming the book was put into electronic form by some sort of text-recognition software that makes a lot of mistakes. For example, every instance of the place-name "Dorne" is spelled "Dome" in the e-version. Also, there are weird punctuation marks randomly placed throughout the text which don't belong. Does anyone else using an e-reader have this sort of problem? Is this a function of e-books in general? Or, just ones written before the invention of the e-book? Or, perhaps, just ones sold in Amazon format?
I liked it a lot, and would have liked it more if I had better continuity in reading time, but the start of school and my quest to watch the first seasons of Damages on DVD cut into my reading time!
