Ooh, I read that one a while back, CIS. Good read. right now, I"m in the middle of Bury Elminster Deep, and also reading Small Gods, the first book I've managed to find from Discworld. After that will be Feet of Clay, which is unfortunately the only other one I've found so far. I got them from the library's book sale, so I'm hopeful I'll run across some other books in the series next time around. Loving it so far! I've also been reading the Swords Trilogy from Moorcock, which is interesting.

Finished The Nostradamus Prophecies, by Mario Reading. It was an ok book but by no means was it outstanding - I think it was too heavily influenced by Dan Brown's work. It also slightly over-did the gypsy theme of the book to the point where gypsy lore was being crammed down your throat for chapter after chapter with very little point or relevence.

I'm definitely enjoying it so far. Cool take on the Zombie genre. This year has seen me read a lot of Stephen King, actually. I don't know why I didn't jump on the King bandwagon years ago.

I jumped on that bandwagon when I was 12... I've since jumped back off, though I still do enjoy some of his stuff from that timeframe.

Somewhere along the way, I decided that I didn't like horror. However, all it took was for me to join the Science Fiction Book Club and select The Stand as one of my introductory books to realize the error of my ways. Admittedly, Cell is really the only "horror" book of his that I have read. The rest have been fantasy (Dark Tower, Talisman, Eye Of The Dragon) or post-apocalyptic (The Stand). Though I guess Cell's got a huge chunk of post-apocalyptic in it too.

But yeah, I haven't read a bad book by him yet. He's got such a way with words that ensures the pages keep flowing with little or no effort.

I have issues with his writing style, myself. He can tell a good story, but the way he tells it leaves much to be desired -- in my opinion. The last book I read by him was Dreamcatcher, and it reminded me too much of some of his other books -- I've not picked up anything new by him since then.

Just started Age of Ra, by James Lovegrove. It appears quite good so far - in a way a cross between Starship Troopers and Ancient Egypt with (in my mind at least) some influences from the early series of Stargate SG1.

Different strokes, I suppose. I find his informal slang-y style really resonates with my mind for some reason.

It's not the informal slang, it's the run-on sentences, pointless sex, and sometimes gratuitous profanity. You can have sex and profanity in a story, but it has to fit. In some of his stories -- particularly It, which also had some run-on sentences from Hell -- the sex and profanity is just there, and sometimes detracts more from the story than it adds.

This had been bugging me for a while, and then I read Dreamcatcher, which felt like a bunch of his previously used story elements mashed together into a new arrangement. And that's when I decided I was done. I'll continue to re-read some of his older stuff that I enjoyed, but it'll take a lot to convince me to go for any of his new stuff. I'm not boycotting him, I've just moved on.

I've only read the "Dark Towers" books by King, and that's provided me with more than enough of a sampling of his works.

I'll admit, also, that I was motivated to read them more by a consequence of the cool setting, than the author involved in writing those books.

A lot of folks like his Dark Tower series, but I could barely tolerate the first book... Of course, I've also encountered a lot of folks who loved Misery and hated The Eyes of the Dragon, and I was the opposite on those.

About to start reading 'Embassytown' by China Mieville. Currently reading 'The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran' by Christoph Luxenberg (because the origins and evolution of religion is fascinating, doubly so when the author writes under pseudonym because of death threats).

That was a particularly fascinating book. Plenty weird [even for Mieville], but definitely a worthwhile read.

I'm reading Gaven by J.C. Owens. Interesting protagonists; well-thought battle scenes; and steamy lovemaking. I wish that the system of magic will be explained later in the book and that more details about the Finnarians, warrior-mages who are also vampires, will be revealed.

Currently reading Richard Baker's Forsaken House, the first book in The Last Mythal trilogy. So far not bad but I do think it's moving kinda slow, which tends to be a habit with the majority of surface elf books i've read so far. Though I'll be starting on chapter 10 today and it's starting to pick up a bit so here's to hoping it kicks into high gear.

I'm also re-reading---for the fourth time [or is it fifth?]---Unclean by Richard Lee Byers. And I still love it as much as I did the very first time I read it some years ago. A true testament of the power of excellent story-telling.

I really want to get around to reading that trilogy. It always sounded cool by the descriptions I've read, and a friend of mine said he really enjoyed it, but I've seen alot of mixed reviews here on the forums about it. All my friend really told me about is there's a guy who uses his umbilical cord as a whip or something, and that seems pretty badass to me.

That would be Xingax, who was an atropal, an undead who looked like an oversized, freakishly deformed stillborn or aborted fetus - the pure ugliness with asymmetrical features. He had small rotting fingers at twisted stubby arms. A frayed, greasy length of umbilicus dangled from his belly. He eminated an aura of malign energy, which lead people not shielding themselves from it to vomiting, blinding headaches and collapsing in convulsions. Even some Red Wizards found it difficult to shield themselves against its malignancy. He served the lich Szass Tam, who's the main "star" in the said series.

I just finished it. And as usual, here's my review:

Gaven by J.C. Owens is the first book of The Gaven Duology. It chronicles the life of an eighteen-year old boy as he discovers that he is the captured son of the warlord of the people of Masaria, whom he thought were his enemies. He is taken back by his father's army and is forced to learn to be a warrior, under the tutelage of Vlar, his eraman (a Masarian term for teacher-lover).

The story starts like a typical fantasy book---war, chaos, carnage, destruction... The introduction of the main characters is rather abrupt and simple. But when more and more are revealed about Gaven's past and about Vlar's god-like powers, I find it hard to put the book down.

The setting reminds of the city of Cimbar (Forgotten Realms), though not as detailed.

Owens used to write historical fiction, and her style that brims with finesse shows in this book. Every word is well chosen, every scene magically comes to life...

It's beautiful and touching how Gaven in the end manages to reconcile his distaste against the Masarians and their practice of men loving men.

Vlar has been kept a mystery all throughout the story. The only thing that's known about his past is that he came from a neighboring city of unmatched power; that he's a Finnarian, a vampire-wizard. Perhaps in the sequel we shall learn more.

The conflict in the story is more internal than external, the focus being the coping of Gaven with all the changes forced upon him, which challenge the very foundation of his beliefs.

Out of 10 possible stars, I give it 8. Recommended.

Every beginning has an end.

Having finally finished the Bourne trilogy, I'm now reading Master of Devils, by our own Dave Gross. It's obvious the author is a fan of kung fu flicks (and/or anime), because parts of the book read like a kung fu movie. Not so much Flying People, Hidden Wires, but with different forms of combat using a wide variety of techniques -- some of which are unexpected and unorthodox. It's quite a fun read, and I'm enjoying it more than I did his previous tale, Plague of Wolves.

One of my old musician buddies just finished a book that he let me borrow (and by let me borrow I really mean is forcing me to read, lol) called "Falling Sideways" by Tom Holt. I told him I'd have to finish The Last Mythal first but he said as soon as I'm done to read this book. So I read the back cover to get an idea of what it's about and I think I may just finish the first book of Last Mythal and then start this one. If you've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy then I think you'd like this book. Very strange indeed. Something about Homo Sapiens descending from trees and frogs that rule the universe. Lol...sounds absolutely hilarious.

I've enjoyed some of Tom Holt's stuff, like Flying Dutch and Faust Among Equals. Falling Sideways didn't grab me as readily.

I'm so far behind in my reading of the PATHFINDER novels. Of course, it's compounded by that fact that they've each endured terrible release schedules back in Australia. I only just managed to grab a copy og Plague of Shadows last week.

If you had a subscription, you could get the ebook for free. And that's available as soon as the novel ships from Paizo.

Very handy, indeed. (And this time they even included my copy of Wayfinder in the package.)

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
