OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Getting back on reading track, after being rathwr busy lately, I picked up Bonehunters (Erikson) and Carey's Kushiel's Scion again, while stealing some time to read an Agatha Christie Poirot novel, Cat Among the Pigeons. I got Stephen Baxter's new Emperor coming out (I think in June) that I'm really looking forward to read. Finally put up my review of Daniel Abraham's A Shadow in Summer, which came out last week, the first book in his Long Price Quartet

Based on SE's own recommendation, I'm reading an ARC of David Keck's IN THE EYE OF HEAVEN. Slow-going, to be sure, but not bad thus far. . .

finished PON series by Bakker - basically good but not great...
i fully understand why erikson loved it so much, i would think that from his point of view the quality of writing and the depth of phlosophical thought are something even he may aspire to, however for me personally the series just seemed a little too.......... convinced of itself. its as if Bakker believes too much in what he's writing to question whether certain things are relevant, and to be honest i dont think it has even a fraction of the depth and emotional involvement evident in ASOIAF and of course the malazans. I can see how many people wouldnt bother finishing the series, but overall i thought it was well worth the time and effort to read, even if its just to provide background for future series he's writing

Am mid way through:
Living Next Door to the God of Love - Justina Robson
The Road to Reality - Roger Penrose
And will probably start - when I get home from work tonight, that is:
A Feast for Crows - George RR Martin
Vellum - Hal Duncan

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.
