^ If you want to see the real human stain look in Rodeo's sock drawer

In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker.

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

James Clemens - Shadowfall

What the hell is wrong with some people. Why do they continue to write things this terrible.
I want new Erikson books and new Bakker.

Shadow and Claw: Volumes 1 and 2 of The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

Next up:

Vellum: The Book of All Hours by Hal Duncan
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny

I got through 7 novels of varying quality on my holiday:

The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker
Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett
Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
Shadow by K.J. Parker
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
The Scar by China Mieville

Reading them in that order was quite refreshing as each one differs stylistically from the one before. Going from Bakker to Hamilton or Pratchett to Morgan, for example, can be a little disconcerting, but it makes it much easier for me to remember the authors' quality as well as their subject.

Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

I'm just working through this...

I haven't seen any more of Wolfe's books on the shelves of my local bookshops, but if I see them I will buy them. I just finished Shadow and Claw today and I did enjoy them [it?], although I have to admit I couldn't quite get myself as wholly engrossed in them as I could with say, MBotF or Janny Wurts' Wars of Light and Shadow.

I managed to pick up Lyonnesse (sp?) 1 & 2 by Jack Vance today second hand...there was a stall at the local market advertising a shop, so I will definately be checking in there at some point in the near future.

Moving on to Vellum now...

Right now, I'm simultaneously reading:

http://lojban.org/pu...ojbanLevel0.pdf

http://www.tlg.uci.e...ure/lessons.pdf

http://www.loglan.or...oad/L3.vol1.pdf

Finding Loglan to be a bit more appealing and natural than Lojban

I thought it'd be pretty neat if I could learn a constructed language together with some of my online acquaintances...

The Odyssey by Homer - Translated by Robert Fangles.

There is something about The Iliad and The Odyssey that draw me in about the same time each year.
The story floods your mind. I love it.

I was always a fan of Levy. I love his tales of Hannibal...

Currently I am reading Blood Follows...well, I read the first sentence and I am rereading (yet again) Ice Station by Matthew Reilly - I have spoken about it so much lately that I felt the need to read it again. I love his books!

Hi guys!

Just finished Brandon Sanderson's MISTBORN: THE FINAL EMPIRE. Although it suffers from a few shortcomings, it's still a very entertaining read.

Check the blog for the full review!
