What are you reading? I thought I'd post this as I couldn't find a what are you reading thread. (unless I've missed it somewhere) I have three books on the go at the moment, and they are:

Chris Kuzneski- The Lost Throne (I love his books and his Payne and Jones characters are fun to read. They apear in all his books so far)

Drew Karpyshyn- Mass Effect: Ascension (the auther was the lead writter on the Mass Effect game for Bioware. This is the second book and gets you ready for Mass Effect II)

Michael Reaves- Star Wars- Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter (I haven't read many Star Wars books to be honest, but this one seems to be a fun read)

I'm reading ;

Brian Daley-Star Wars The Han Solo Adventures Just started it, so I'll let you know what I think.

Now I've got through my mountain of SW comics, I'm back on the novels with:

Clive Barker's "Books of Blood"

Recently read

The Night Watch

and

Abarat

Red Storm Rising ,Tom Clancy the best book ever. I have read this book 7-8 times.

Well I've just finished reading The Soldier Son Trilogy by Robin Hobb, one of my favorite authors. And this latest effort didn't dissapoint! To quote Wikipedia: "The greater themes of the series so far are: post-colonial backlash, loss of cultural identity, and 'Going Native'" Top read.

I've just started on book one of The Grail Quest by Bernard Cornwell of "Sharpe" fame. I absolutely loved The Warlord Chronicles trliogy he did (a gritty account of the Arthurian legend from the point of view of a soldier) so this one I have high hopes for.

DEFINATELY avoid The Silmarillion then mate! That's like a text-book encyclopedia of fantasy works.... mind you, saying that Chris Tolkien only had his old man's 'notes' to go through, they weren't even in any chronological order! Not a task I'd want to undertake!

I'm currently reading Crystal Lake Memories - The Complete History of Friday the 13th.



Told you I liked Horror!

I once tried to read The Silmarillion. I gave up in the end, just not for me at all. Il oved the Hobbit (read it twice)and have got half way through LotR.

I've just started to read: Guillermo Del Toro/Chuck Hogan- The Strain
http://www.thestraintrilogy.com/

Co-written by the creator of Pan's Labyrinth and the director of Hell Boy and The Hobbit. It's the first part of a new trilogy and so far it's been a good read.

After spending 2 hours in Waterstones I finally got this:

Legend

My Brother told me it's a great book (told me he's read it twice a year for the last 16 years lol)

It might sound rediculous but I am actually looking forward to reading the Star Wars book...

Death Troopers
