I'm re reading some classic David Gemmell, just finished Legend, now onto King beyond the gate. Fantasy at it's best!

Gemmell is one of my favorites.

Currently reading Mutineer's Moon by David Weber.

Abercrombie's Best Served Cold.

I just started reading this. I'm also plugging through The Witchfinders by Malcom Gaskill, I usually have a couple on the go at the same time (I like to mix up fiction and non-fiction).

The Dark Tower : The Drawing of the Three



Not too far in but enjoying it.

[Ravenshrike]

Last 5 books(Read in the last week or so) were Modesitt's Imager, Butcher's Turn Coat, Brust's My Own Kind of Freedom, Pratchett's Unseen Academicals, and Williamson's Contact with Chaos.



Currently switching between Sagara's Cast in Silence and the book with the best start ever, Correia's Monster Hunter International.

Monster Hunter International



Chapter 1



On one otherwise normal Tuesday evening I had the chance to live the American dream. I was able to throw my incompetent jackass of a boss from a fourteenth-story window.



Now, I didn’t just wake up that morning and decide that I was going to kill my boss with my bare hands. It really was much more complicated than that. In my life up to that point I would never have even considered something that sounded so crazy. I was just a normal guy, a working stiff. Heck, I was an accountant. It doesn’t get much more mundane than that.



That one screwed-up event changed my life. Little did I realize that turning my boss into sidewalk pizza would have so many bizarre consequences. Well, technically, he did not actually hit the sidewalk. He landed on the roof of a double-parked Lincoln Navigator, but I digress.



My name is Owen Zastava Pitt and this is my story.

I finnished The Rising last night, again, and started The Dark Tower: Gunslinger.   I am not that big on Steven King, but I wanted to give this book a chance. From what I hear its a really good series.

Yeah I haven't read much Steven King. I found out about The Dark Tower by accident and couldn't find one negative review/comment on the series and it sounded very interesting.



BTW I heard J.J. Abram will be making an adaptation sometime after Lost is finished so I've gotta get reading =)

Terry Pratchett: Soul music

[Amberyl Ravenclaw]

More textbooks for class. Specifically, "Alternative Alcott", edited by Elaine Showalter.

Review excerpted from Amazon.com: "Alcott's pseudonymous sensation stories have only recently been discovered; along with her adult novels, historical and feminist essays, and memoir of the failed communal experiment that was her childhood, they show us that there was indeed and "alternative Alcott." This volume reprints much of Alcott's "alternative" fiction, including the satirical Transcendental Wild Oats. Though brilliant, Showalter's introduction is at times excessively Freudian and speculative; literature can and must stand on its own. Still, this is a highly pertinent anthology."

For those not in the know, Alcott is more commonly known as the author of Little Women.

My favourite Pratchett character is Death.

Wish my library would hurry up and get Unseen Academicals.

My favorite Pratchett character would have to Granny Weatherwax, if I had to choose just one.

[Davitto]

I'm reading through the entire series of Discworld books right now, but my favourite character would have to be either Vimes or The Patrician >.<

[Skaargoroth]

As of right now: "Waking Up Screaming" by H.P. Lovecraft.

[Uthenera]

It's hard to choose just one: Nanny Gytha Ogg or the Hedgehog from the "Hedgehog Song"? Maybe the previous.
