So what are you reading right now?

A Game of Thrones is brilliant. For so many years people kept saying to me "you haven't read Martin?? How can you not have read Martin? He's the best author out there bar none." And I was all "whatevs *wanders off to do something else*" Then I finally caved and then I knew what people were saying was true. He really is the best author out there.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is "have fun! You have one heck of a ride ahead of you!"

[Majsju]

Finally got around to buying Martins Dreamsongs 2, so I have just finshed The Hedge Knight, and will now read the rest of the book.

[Quisalas Selene]

My Mistborn books are here!  I stayed up way too late last night reading, which is always the sign of a good book. :) 

 

I've abandoned my Dragonlance book somewhere around page 115 to read Mistborn.

[bad company]

How many books do you people read, egads!

[bad company]

New book. Finished the tawny man series, very satisfying ending.

 

Now reading Peridido Street Station by China Mieville

[Loreina]

How many books you ask? *cackles* Libraries full!  :D

I just finished Carol Berg's Flesh and Spirit and Breath and Bone. I liked it very much.

Now I'll have to rest my eyes for a while before starting Mistborn.

[JenniferL]

I'm currently reading Bill Bryson's "I'm a Stranger Here Myself". It's a collection of essays he wrote in the 1990's. Bryson was an American living in Britain for 20 years, then had occasion to move back to the States. The essays are about his re acclimation to America. Bryson is a VERY funny writer. I read his "A Walk In the Woods" about hiking the Appalachian Trail a few years ago and loved it.

I'm nearing the end of my Terry Pratchett book fest. :(

 

Now I'm at a loss as to what to follow him with. I need to do a WoT reread before next year but that can wait for a bit. I might hijack the BF's Raymond E Feist books *ponders*

[bad company]

Raymond E Fiest is very good.

[Kalythase Breen]

I'm currently reading Brandon Sanderson's, Mistborn series. And I must say, it's just brilliant writing. A few days ago I was up practically all night reading the first book, (I don't think I could have handled falling asleep without knowing how the ending was going to turn out.), and I didn't notice it was getting light outside until I'd finished it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Sanderson's writing, including awesome suspense and innovative action scenes, combined with Jordan's writing. I think A Memory of Light is really going to be a masterpiece! ;D

We ought to do some sort of coordinated re read. That'll be fun.

[Loreina]

Maybe we could resurrect the defunct EotW thread? We'd have to move a bit faster than that one did, to finish all twelve books before JordanCon. ;D

[JenniferL]

Oh, I was thinking we'd finish up before DragonCon 09. That's closer to the date AMoL will be published. (My money is on October 09)

[Loreina]

;) *pretends to stay on topic*  I just started THe Alton Gift in Bradleys's Darkover series.  :)

 

Then we should be able to manage the whole enchilada if we can do one a month starting - next month?

We could rotate it, with a different Org hosting each month, if moding it is a problem. 

[JenniferL]

Oooh. Is that any good? I love the Darkover series, but I've stayed away from the newer, non-MZB stuff. My least favorite Darkover novel was the one she co-wrote with Mercedes Lackey. But then I'm not a Mercedes Lackey fan at all. Her Valdemar books made me want to set my face on fire.

[Loreina]

This one is Deborah J. Ross. I was desperate for some new Darkover, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've read and reread the old ones.  :)

The only problem is that publishers insist on authors putting in explanatory info that fans don't need. *yawns* Makes for some fast page turning. I wish they'd quit doing that. Drives me bonkers and wastes paper.  ;D I'll let you know how it is when I'm done.  :)

[Illiara]

I just finished Kushiel's Chosen and am beginning Kushiel's Avatar.

[Mendorah]

Oh, I was thinking we'd finish up before DragonCon 09. That's closer to the date AMoL will be published. (My money is on October 09)

 

I could Definately be down for a coordinated re-read.  I was planning on starting my re-read after I finish the Cold Fire Trilogy.  I will finish book one of that trilogy this week.  Trouble is, I'm a horridly slow reader and pretty much only have about 45 minutes per day to read, so I'll probably lag behind like always.

[Guest nephitess]

We can lag together Mendorah. ;)

 

I'll join in with you all. just let me know when we would all start. :D

[Talya]

I'm reading Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronté

[Maria]

I had to do Wuthering Heights for school and could never finish it. It's one of my nemesis books, meaning books I feel like I ought to finish but really really can't.

[MsDanya]

I'm reading New Spring. Its definately high up there on my top five WoT books.
