The Tyranny of the Night - Glenn Cook

One of the fighters is named Else which was a very popular girls name in 30's and 40's in Denmark....Not sure if I can finish the book.

I've got that on my To read pile, let us know what you think to it.

[Bauchelain the Evil]

Finished The God themselves by Asimov.
Almost finished I,robot. A SF classic.

It is a great book and the followup is even better, but it isn't an action packed slash and burn like the black company books...

Finished Lovecraft's novella, At the Mountains of Madness last night, and started in on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Madness was pretty good, and I love the reference to Poe's Arthur Gordon Pym (Poe's only novel, which is excellent.) Lovecraft, so far, actually reads an awful lot like Poe, which is cool.

Rereading Eldest by Christoper Paolini, and when I am finished I will start reading Dragonborn by Jade Lee.

[Cougar]

Finally getting round to finishing the Prince of Nothing

[Binder of Demons]

Just finished THE DARKNESS THAT COMES BEFORE by R.Scott Bakker. Really enjoyed it. Some great characters. Hoping the follow ups are in the library. But I enjoyed it so much that i'd be willing to buy them.

Don't quite know what i'll read next. I have CHANGELING by Roger Zelazny, but if Toll The Hounds comes, then that will take priority.

I just finished Mirrored Heavens by David J Williams (full review). This a post-cyberpunk military sci-fi that I didn't care that much for - it's all action, no depth - a book for Hollywood and gamers. Not one that appeals so much to me.

I'm now reading Lord Tophet by Gregory Frost to see if rounds out Shadowbridge.

[Binder of Demons]

Since i'm not long after finishing re-reading Altered Carbon and Broken Angels by RICHARD MORGAN, I decided to finish the series again, and got WOKEN FURIES out from the library. Nearly 200pgs in and loving it. Kovacs is such a great character.

Finished Diplomatic Immunity by Lois McMaster Bujold. Probably going to read Thirteen by Richard Morgan next.

Love, love, love her Vorkosigan series! Did you read them all?

Ah, almost 200 pages into TtH. Good stuff, seems like SE is making an effort to be more deep and thinky.

So.... how can I beg/bribe/steal this from you when you are done? I'm only a few hundred miles away! And oh, so jealous....

[Matriarch]

And I am desperate for good reading.

I just finished Elvenbane by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey: definitely a beach book. Not a lot of substance, skill, or originality, but great light entertainment.

Read The Name of the Wind right afterwards and was SOOOO impressed with his narrative skills. I guess the joke is on me. I didn't even make the connection with the trite (Harry Potter) story line of university and bad pupil. I was just enamored with the poetry of it compared to the above mentioned book.

Don't know why, but I picked up The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, just to try a different genre. It was strange, but not a bit scary.

I would love to read something in the style of L.M. Bujold (sf). Any ideas?

I have to send it to missouri after i reread it. My dad has gotten into SE, so my new books take long vacations which annoy the hell out of me to go visit him.

[amphibian]

Terry Pratchett's Nation is his most affecting work since Night Watch.

I picked up a galley from some old friends at a bookstore and it was really a great, great read.

I probably just got the jump on Pat and Werthead.

[Tes'thesula]

Just finished the chronicles of amber...not entirely impressed, a style thing as the ideas and plot worked for me.

That is a long way to go to retrieve a book, I must say. Think your dad keeps them on purpose?

Well, thank you for considering it anyhow.

[wolf_2099]

Just finished Toll the Hounds, so now it collects dust on my book shelf while I read Jhegeela by Brust.

[Astra]

Just finished Crown of Stars 4 - Child of Flame by Kate Elliott. The longest book in the series. Probably the most interesting so far.
4 out of 5.

Next probably will be The Digital Plague by Jeff Somers.
Then back to Crown of Stars, or maybe The name of the Rose or Catch-22 or A Sundial in a Grave 1610....

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Tacitus: Annals

[Salt-Man Z]

I picked up the entire Crown of Stars series after Orson Scott Card's recommendation of it, but I couldn't bring myself to start into such a thick series at the time. My wife picked them up for some reason or another, and she's currently on book #3. I guess they're pretty good?

Me, I'm still digging through Lovecraft, more specifically his collections, At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror and The Dunwich Horror and Others.

I finally read The Call of Cthulhu last night, and don't really see what all of the fuss is about. The Colour Out of Space was pretty good, though. Dang creepy. But At the Mountains of Madness was fabulous, and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward was even better.
