Fritz Lieber's First Book of Lankhmar, finally.

 

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

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

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.

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...

I think therefore I am?

Could be!

Or is it really someone else

Who only thinks he's me?

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.

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.

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.
