I quite enjoyed Ghost Story, though it can't compare to Changes.

Currently reading The Bourne Identity, myself. Caught part of the third movie a couple weeks back and decided to give the books a try.

Incidentally, I just finished watching the DVD of The Bourne Ultimatum. Quite engaging, though the plot appears to have been rehashed from some episodes of the TV series 24 and Alias. Damon's acting, as usual, is superb.

I'm also thinking of giving the novel The Bourne Identity a try.

I am reading Someone Is Watching by Mark A. Roeder. The setting is marvelous, like a "live" painting. The growing confusion and epiphany of the protagonist Ethan is a Roeder trademark... told smoothly and unpretentiously.

After I finished the Ghost King in my hiatus from reading through the I think re-read the first Pathfinder novel, Prince of Wolves, since its sequel Master of Devils should be arriving at my home any day now. And now I have moved on to The City of Ravens because I have never gotten around to reading it until now. (Still wishing I had better planned when to start reading the Shannara Series so I would not have had to take a break in the middle. )

I'll second that. I keeping buying all these new books, but when it comes to the time when I want to crack them open and start reading, I'm always finding myself falling back to The Way of Kings.

I love the foundation for this new world [it has an almost Cygnaran {from WARMACHINE}-vibe to it]. And I'm looking forward to the future books of the series.

I just finished the Home Improvement: Undead Edition anthology. Then read the graphic novel for Kim Harrison's Hallows series. Now moved on to Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong, which is part of her Otherworld series.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Just finished reading Gauntlgrym, got to say I found far more interesting Dehlia's and Bruenor's appearances than Drizzt usual Peggy Sue moments, couldn't avoid raising my eyebrow when he even knew how many pillars they had passed. Maybe I missed something but since when Jarlaxle is a good guy who risks his life for a dwarf and cries? Anyways I'm starting reading The Light Fantastic, back to Discworld

Wait... please tell me you meant to type "Drizzt cries"...

...because, Jarlaxle? crying?

Currently rereading Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks. It's a grim story; every chapter is full of surprises. Weeks excels not just in conveying believable characters the reader would easily care about, but also in meshing several sub-plots without losing focus on the main one. I'm fascinated by Midcyru's system of magic. And Kylar rarely disappoints.

That is a good trilogy. I could barely put any of the books down.

Indeed. Weeks's dark themes are almost as good as PSK's, (though Paul writes with more finesse).

I don't see it that way. And Sanderson really only has one more book left to write anyway... the fourteenth and final part of the WoT -- A Memory of Light.

I'm completely mesmerized by Zayl. I am now reading Moon of the Spider by Richard A. Knaak. Anyone who likes necromancers should read this gem of a book. Knaak is incredibly good in slowly peeling every layer of a mystery, tinging it with enough tension and poignancy. Zayl has easily become one of my favorite characters of all time.

Oooo! Knaak is one of my favourite writers. I absolutely adore his DRAGONLANCE stuff. So I'll be looking into this, as I've always been tempted by his Diablo books.

...

As for what I'm reading currently -- that would be BattleTech: The Wars of Reaving. [Poor, poor Coyotes. *Winks at Wooly*]

I highly recommend it, Sage. I'll be reading The Kingdom of Shadow after that, which is like a prequel. Zayl first appears in that book, albeit as a supporting character only. Still, he's there, and one of the major players is a wizard, plus it's also by Knaak, so it's next on my list.

I personally have only read the first two books of Wheel Of Time, so I really have nothing to say regarding that. But it's because of The Wheel Of Time that I even know who Sanderson is. I never heard his name until it was announced he would be taking over. However, it was because of the awesome artwork and size of the book that I ultimately decided to pick up The Way Of Kings. I'm certainly not disappointed so far. I've already ordered the Mistborn books and Elantris.

I got Master of Devils last week... But as much as I want to dive into it, I'm still working on Bourne Identity and plan on reading the rest of the Bourne Trilogy (I ignore continuations of a series when it's not by the original author). And 50+ hour work weeks and a 3 month old baby haven't left me much time for reading, of late...

My copy of Master of Devils supposedly shipped on July 29, and I am supposed to give it up to 10 business days to arrive (i.e. this Friday). But I live in Salem, OR, which is all of a 4 hour drive south of Seattle, WA. Normally stuff I get shipped from Seattle (including the previous four Pathfinder Tales novels) arrives within 2-3 days. It is just down right frustrating (and I am probably just impatient). =(

Slowly making progress on Rothfuss's "The Name of the Wind" in between all the reading I'm doing for work. I made a serious dent in it on the flight home from GenCon yesterday.

Next up will be Rosemary Jones' "City of the Dead" (which is sitting on my desk and calling to me. I loved her story in "When the Hero Comes Home"!) and "Tome of the Undergates" by Sam Sykes.

Had great fun reading Brent Weeks Nightangel Trilogy. Thanks to this great forum I chanced upon this and absolutely loved it. I like his writing style as he effortlessly describes spellbattles and acrobatic action.

Tearing through a Dance with Dragons now, which is so supreme after the long wait.

You could always download the ePub version... I've been tempted to put it on my phone and read it there, when I'm away from my printed reading material...
