Books Whats everyone reading atm?

[Lazarus]

The Sworn (Fallen Kings Cycle): Amazon.co.uk: Gail Z. Martin: Books

pretty good - but need to wait now for the next one.

 

[Shagrat]

I'm now upto Malazan Book of the Fallen 8.

epic stuff, thanks to you lot for putting me onto it. Love coming across vast series of books just as the last one is published no waiting for the next one.


Icarium is one scary individual, and I'd seriously think twice about working for the Trygalle Trade Guild lol.

 

[SilverHood]

What about being in Shurq Elalle's crew? Sounds like exhausting work

I love Eriksons flair for interesting characters and organisations. If I could pick one though, I'd love to read more about the Mott Irregulars.

Bumping this thread, currently reading:
Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America: Amazon.co.uk: Matt Taibbi: Books

It's much like his articles for The Rolling Stone, funny, interesting, educational and depressing. Well worth a read for anyone looking for an insight into the financial crisis, and the rise of the tea-party and it's ilk.

The Fabric of Reality: Towards a Theory of Everything: Amazon.co.uk: David Deutsch: Books

[Bahumat]

Just started Trudi Canavan's Priestess of the White, however was bed ridden yesterday and finished it... so onto Last of the Wilds now.

Ah cool, they were a good read

 

[Rulke]

I couldnt stand the Trudi Canavan books

Far to simplistic, predictable and boring. Formulaic writing with no flair or style :/

 

[Chronictank]

David Farland's Runelord series, later books aren't as good as the first 3 but i want to know what happens lol

The Wyrmling Horde (Runelords): Amazon.co.uk: David Farland: Books

Just finished the alexander the great trilogy by massimo manfredi ..

Amazing books, often re-read them when i am bored
You might want to look at the Ghengis Khan trilogy by Conn Iggulden they are good too

 

[Lazarus]

just finished the night angel trilogy from Brent Weeks.

now onto the new set from Fiona McIntosh

 

[TdC]

reading Use of Weapons, Ian M Banks

and

The C Programming Language, Kernighan and Ritchie

 

[tierk]

The Book of Mormon - Joseph Smith Jnr.

 

[Bahumat]

reading Use of Weapons, Ian M Banks

and

The C Programming Language, Kernighan and Ritchie

I got about a quater of the way through Use of Weapons and gave up. Consider Phleabes was boring and fairly predictable. Also I had no care about the characters.

The player of games was better, but still a bit shit imo.

Use of Weapons just seemed the same as the other two books which for me, is a waste of time

 

[TdC]

I'm just checking it out. also re-reading Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space as I have Redemption Ark lined up next

 

[Fafnir]

reading Ravenor: The Omnibus (Warhammer 40000): Amazon.co.uk: Dan Abnett: Books atm moment.

 

[bainteor]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

 

[Helme]

Finished Griftopia, heartily recommend it if someone wants an overview of what caused the financial crisis without spending years trying to learn the mechanics behind it. It also mentions how damaging speculative markets are, and how they came to be.

After reading it I'm moving on to Game of Thrones in preparation for Dance with Dragons(It's coming out!!).

 

[Sydrik]

Just finished The Fifth Witness by Micheal Connelly. Another stunningly good read!!!

 

[Ch3tan]

I've read; Unseen Academicals, Small Gods and Guards! Guards! in the last week.

Couldn't get into Pratchett last time I tried, though that was 15 odd years ago. Loving it now though.

Bangkok Bob and The Missing Mormon eBook: Stephen Leather: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

I liked the Spider Shepard series so I am not onto the little cheap books Once Bitten was good too.

 

[Tuthmes]

Are you a maths student?

No, my dad just retired (psycologist) and we were talking about the estetics in math's/physics. He recommended I started reading this book.

 

[ileks]

Ah right. I've heard it's a good book but never got round to reading it. I seem to remember it being one of the books everyone puts on their personal statement when applying for maths at uni Post what you think of it when done
