What are you reading?

Obviously the answer is always one of Terry's books, right? Right.

Now that we have that formality out of the way.. what else are you reading?

Myself, I'm reading the latest novel in the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, 'Cold Days'. It's been out a while now but I'm just now getting to it. I just finished up the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks this weekend which are great books if anyone's looking for a quick, fast-paced, character driven story.

Currently reading The Third Kingdom.

Also on the go is The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy and Inferno by Dan Brown.

I keep wanting to read Dan Brown's works.. but I have so many books waiting for me on my shelves as it is! lol But they definitely are on my list to read.

Dan Brown is interesting.

He kind of ticks all the right boxes in terms of thriller writing but something about his books doesn't sit right with me. I read them and I feel as if I should be enjoying them a lot more then I actually do. I haven't quite put my finger on it. I mean they're enjoyable I suppose but yeah, something isn't quite right.

Currently I'm reading a bunch of papers on Miocene/Pliocene rodents, a textbook on mammal evolution, and I just finished "The Godfather". If you've seen the movie, you've GOT to read the book. There's no comparison. The movie is good; the book is fantastic. Mario Puzo really knows how to make a genuinely evil man comprehensible, even someone you can sympathize with.

Reading the last chronicles of Thomas covenant,forgot just how much I enjoyed reading about this most unusual character whom brings about so many mixed feelings in how he's portrayed..

I'm reading the Bloody Jack Chronicles by L. A. Meyer. Currently on the 7th book in the series.

I'm reading The Walking Dead: Rise Of The Governor, it's written by the same guys who wrote the graphic novels.

Finally got my hands on the library's copy of Brandon Sanderson's The Hero of Ages and am making my way through it s.l.o.w.l.y (Kids, love them, but they do put a bit of a damper on the amount of time I can spend buried in a book!)

Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich, something to turn my brain off.

Belgarath the Sorcerer by David Eddings (have not read in 10 years)
The Liberty Amendments Mark Levin

Waiting on my daughter (or getting my CE bonus) for The Third Kingdom

Plan to reread Recluse novels by LE Moddisett

The Assassins Touch by Laura Joh Rowland
And
The Third Kingdom by TG lol

Three things right now:

The New Kingdom

Cowboy Bebop (the manga)

Maximum Ride (the manga)

I may be adding the graphic novel Kick-Ass to the list soon. Just got it in the mail!

Grave Peril - Jim Butcher

I started (then put down) (and will pick back up again) a book about hikikomori. Basically, a social withdrawal syndrome that affects a TON of of people in Japan.

After I finish that (or toss it because it makes my brain hurt), I might pick up Omen Machine.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
and
City of Dragons by Robin Hobb

I went to a Trade 'n' books store yesterday and found a few books I wanted-been getting stuff from my childhood lately. Right now, I'm reading A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck.

I am currently reading Witch Wrath by Terry Brooks. also waiting for the new Gaunt's Ghost Novel to come out by Dan Abnett

The Third Kingdom and Im liking it so far. Only about 200 pages in. Its not Terry's traditional style but the message is definitely Terry. As far as the technical aspects of the writing are concerned there are some things I think are more of a distraction for style than anything else but they arent bad enough to make me say Terry has lost his way.

I think some of the chapter breaks are truly unnecessary and seem forced if you will. I think Terry could do without trying so hard to fit a format the story is interesting enough as is.

Just finished The Third Kingdom now I'm switching between The Daylight War book 3 of the Demon Cycle by Peter Brett and The Crown Conspiracy by Michael Sullivan.

I KNOW that word. I'm proud of myself.

Or should I not be because I know it because of my years spent in my hobbit hole watching anime?

At least I don't fit that description quite so much anymore... LOL

Just finished re-reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher
Working on Grave Peril (again) also by Jim Butcher
and Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

More Dresden fans, yay!!! lol

I just finished up Cold Days myself and now I've went back to pick up Wolves of the Calla - book 5 of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
