I have a friend's, Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy for months and I am thinking of reading them in order to return them.

Edited by Istima Loke

I think therefore I am?

Could be!

Or is it really someone else

Who only thinks he's me?

Fritz Lieber's First Book of Lankhmar, finally.

 

It's incredibly refreshing to read some great swashbucklery on the side from time to time.

they aren't the greatest, but they aren't the worst

The Scar by China Mieville

( and a big THANK YOU to whoever it was on this board that recommended that author )

 

House of Chains - Steven Erikson

Midnight Tides - Also Erikson

the Dark Tower - Steven King

 

 

To whomever it was that asked - I can only read one at a time too, I read much more and I get plotlines confused :) That and it just drives me crazy in general.

I'm currently in the Scar, will read Dark Tower next, and then the SE books.

 

Apparently book 11, which is the one I got for christmas really picks up the pace, resolves a lot of the plotlines, and sets the stage for the end of the series. Which Robert Jordan says will be book 12, even if the book has to be 1500 pages.
:rolleyes:

I'm not a Drizzt fan, but those books were good. You get to know about the drow and the Underdark.

Yes, I read the first. Though writing is mediocre (though I am reading it in Greek and the translator appears to have little to none knowledge of fantasy and translation principles) and filler material exists aplenty, it's a nice idea and gives a lot of drow details...

So I get home from work today and there on the front porch (with dried dog pee on the side) was an Amazon.com box. Yea, new books!

Be sure you're on drugs, preferably some kind of narcotic. That way you won't feel the pain.

Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

haha come on, they aren't THAT bad

Mein Kampf. Lets see if I can actually read through it without getting bored.

Hah, here in Holland, Mein Kampf is the only book that has been banned.

Just finished Ella in Europe. What a funny light hearted book, an absolute joy to read. Now working on My Grandfather's Son by Clarence Thomas.

I am slowly working towards something, like Middlemarch, by Eliot. :)

It looks like Amazon is telling you to search inside O'Rourke's mouth.

 

 

 

I'm reading Francine Prose's Reading Like A Writer. It's ok.

I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.
Heja Sverige!!

The wrench is your friend. :bat:

It wasn't bad ... O'Rourke is writing on autopilot, nothing like his earlier stuff in quantity of quality stuff (like arresting metaphors and paradigm-shifting summaries). Still, I applaud the returning to original material to mine it for more information.
