what are you reading?

[Einherjar86]

I honestly couldn't get past the third book in Jordan's series; too generic and juvenile (I thought).

If you want more innovative and unique epic fantasy, check out these authors/series:
R. Scott Bakker (The Prince of Nothing Trilogy)
Steven Erikson (The Malazan Book of the Fallen series)

Wheel of Time drags something chronic.

 

[AnitaValo666]

Alexandre Dumas-The Count of Monte Cristo

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

I'm still reading Neuromancer by Gibson but also reading The Face by Koontz. I also need to finish For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway.

 

[derek]

Don't bother.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Don't bother with what?

 

[GodzillaVsGundam]

Galilee by Clive Barker. He's a nut. then I'm going to start Sunbird by Wilbur Smith

 

[FenrirNL]

Fulgrim: Visions of Treachery, its an Horus Heresy novel by Graham Mcneill i recommend the interested people to start with Horus Rising and read on from their.

The Ageless Warrior(biography of boxings Archie Moore)

 

[hexwind]

I've just finished The Da Vinci Code last night. Good book, but a tad overrated.
Started ready few pages from Environment and Society (Human perspective on environmental issues)

Currently reading Apache by Ed Macy - a hard bastard. It's solid thus far but could do without so many technical details on the aircraft that occasionally obstruct the story.

Last read Joe Calzaghe's autobiography, No Ordinary Joe. It's simply told and he seems pretty unassuming and likable, especially for a champ.

The luxes and the olive tree-understanding globelization

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Finished reading Neuromancer by Gibson... was good... I'm quite surprised it was never made into a movie though I heard there is talk it will be...

Still reading The Face by Koontz... but also started Junky by William S. Burroughs.. good book so far.. halfway through it...

 

[Death Aflame]

Just finished The Shadow of the Torturer, part I of Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun. Pretty good opening (although it did drag in places) and I really do enjoy Wolfe's prose despite its density and propensity for obscure/archaic language.

 

[FenrirNL]

Finished Battle for the Abyss it was holding my attention to the very end.

 

[Amarantha85]

Just started reading Eragon series...heard it is supposed to be almost as good as LOTR.

 

[derek]

Nowhere near. The books are pretty good, but certainly not even in the same league as LOTR.

Enjoy, though.

 

[hexwind]

A gift of fire.
Do you guys buy books or just rent them from libraries or anything?

 

[derek]

I tend to buy non-fiction and borrow fiction, although I also buy fiction that I really enjoy.
