Istima Loke Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) I have a friend's, Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy for months and I am thinking of reading them in order to return them.

Musopticon? Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Fritz Lieber's First Book of Lankhmar, finally. It's incredibly refreshing to read some great swashbucklery on the side from time to time. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Sereyna Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited October 3, 2007 by Sereyna As capable of inconvenience, and of some damage and debt to those that would act against my interests, I cannot f*^ng argue with dangerous.
Dark_Raven Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I have a friend's, Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy for months and I am thinking of reading them in order to return them. they aren't the greatest, but they aren't the worst I'm not a Drizzt fan, but those books were good. You get to know about the drow and the Underdark. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

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...

Dark_Raven Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Mein Kampf. Lets see if I can actually read through it without getting bored. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Blarghagh Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hah, here in Holland, Mein Kampf is the only book that has been banned. Anyway, I'm re-reading Lovecraft stories. Always fun-filled with adjectives.

Pidesco Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 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. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
metadigital Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 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. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
