ASOS finally arrived yesterday, and I celebrated by reading 100 pages  _________________ But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses.

Everything else is on hold for me -- I finally got my hands on Martin's The Arms of the Kraken!

Finished A Storm of Swords last night. There was more action in 2 chapters in that book than in 2 books of Jordan!

Well, I finished Fall of Hyperion, the Sandman comic book, and Lord of Light. I am now reading C. S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces, which is pretty good so far!  _________________ Love as thou wilt.

Well, I finished up Till We Have Faces, am going to read a book by David Brin next. It's called Glory Season, and was recommended to me by Lord Danlo, so I'm pretty sure I will find it a very good read.  _________________ Love as thou wilt.

I have just started reading "Inversions" by Iain M. Banks. So far I have not gotten a handle on what it actually is about, but it is very good for all that.
For lighter stuff I am currently rereading "The War God's Own" by David Weber. It is fantasy, unlike most of his other stuff but it is quite good if you are looking for a little lighter militaristic fantasy with some magic thrown in. _________________ "Und wenn sie mich suchen, ich halte mich in der Nähe des Wahnsinns auf."

Just started A.A. Attansio's "Last Legends of Earth". Reminds me a bit of Neverness but so far I'm only about 50 pages in. Very cerebral stuff! _________________ War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I am currently reading Ursula LeGuin's The Other Wind, having raced through the previous books of the Earthsea series.
Though, I have to say, it took me a very long time to get into A wizard of Earthsea. The book just didn't grab me till I was at least halfway through it...after which I was definitely addicted.

Watership Down, Watership Down! What a great book! Long live Fiver! (Yeah, I know, a little extreme, but I've been wanting to use that graemilin for the longest time!)  _________________ "Do you have a wife?"

Bannor, that is a good book! Didn't you tell me that there is now a sequel, too? I had never heard of the second book before...is it as good as the first??  _________________ Love as thou wilt.

More Tales from Watership Down is excellent, but not nearly as good as the first. Have you read Watership Down? _________________ "Do you have a wife?"

"How long ago did she die?"
"Two thousand years." |

My admiration level for you just went up significantly! (It was already high!) It's so refreshing to find some Watership Down fans!  _________________ "Do you have a wife?"

Just finished the Chrons amd then Mordant's Need. Everyone here seems to really love The Gap, so that's next on my agenda, but I needed a break before I dive into something that (reputedly) dark. So right now I'm reading Deryni Checkmate by Katherin Kurtz for about the twentieth time. Just some nice simple religious persecution and genocide.  _________________ "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do." |
