say something about what the forumer above you is reading

[DarkNoise]

I know, the thread will probably die off a LOT sooner than the forever-on-going listening to thread. but I don't see nearly enough book topics in here dammit!

30 Days of Night: Immortal Remains
Niles, Steve & Mariotte, Jeff

I give the book an overall C- so far. The first actual novel they released for the series was probably a B, but they really lost something in this one. Too much useless sections that are great for gore but do nothing at all for the story. At least tie it in somehow.

 

[Shpongled]

I've never been a big fan of gore, and a C- isn't a good enough grade to pique my interest.

Right now I am reading Shogun.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

Haven't read it and wasn't really sure this deserved a series.




Currently reading the Apocalypse Shift By Derek Goodman.
Night Shift at the One Stop Mart (nightly) save the world from doom, vampires, zombies etc.

Pretty damned funny book.

 

[Liverslapper]

Bouncing around between 3 books at the moment.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes
Spellbound
Wicca, a Guide for the Solitary Practitioner

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Waiting on books 4-6 of the Sword of Truth Series to arrive. Lovin' it so far, despite the awkwardly placed conservative politics that appear from time to time.

Cannot recommend strongly enough that you explore further horizons in fantasy/speculative fiction. Terry Goodkind SERIOUSLY declines in quality as you go further. Try something like, say, Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet which I am currently rereading - it explores traditional fantasy tropes and plotlines from a distinctly non-heroic (as in "normal dude" not "villain") perspective, and has a setting unique in Western canon.

My most recent first read was James Morrow's Towing Jehovah. I laughed a lot, I teared up a bit, and I thought seriously about what the big deal is with humans and "God." But mostly I laughed.

I'm not one to stop reading/watching/playing a series that I have begun, but I'll be sure to make note of your recommendations when I'm done reading them!

 

[derek]

I still don't believe any of you can actually read.

 

[Liverslapper]

No idea what you just said...

 

[derek]

Your sense of irony is well developed though...

[El Stormo]

I've probably done it a few times before, but to everyone who likes to read Fantasy, I heartily recommend Ian Irvine's Well of Echoes-Quartet. It's dark, grim fantasy without the hackneyed clichés. No dragons, no swords in stones, none of that bullshit, but a bitter story with refreshing takes on both the subjects of technology and magic. Definitely worth giving a try if you're looking for something to read.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

But dragons are cool.
