Funny you mention American Gods. I hit Gaiman's journal on a daily basis, eagerly awaiting the release of Anansi Boys. And I'm about to get a coworker hooked on Sandman.

I just finished Alastair Reynold's Resolution Space. So now I am skimming through Gardens of the Moon as preparation for MoI. And by the time I am done with that it will be time for the latest release from the wealthiest woman in the United Kingdom.

Now onto Steph Swainston's "Year of our War". Only read the first 20-odd pages, but its pretty good so far, I hope it doesn't go downhill when I finally meet these "Insects". If they're just big grasshoppers I'm gonna get angryPosted Image

Just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I don't see where the hype comes from, and it should have been called American Roads. It was imho a bit pointless and boring, but maybe thats just meh.

Now on to Yann Martel's Life of Pi.

No, it used to say "A Trilogy in Four Parts" on all the collected editions.

@Fool
Is that the same aurthor who wrote "The Etched City"? Or am I thinking of someone else?


@Duiker
I'm sure you'll enjoy it, it's very cleverly written...

The Scar had a great ending. Horribly ambiguous.

Started Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

Finished:
- Sundiver by David Brin. Nice ideas, nice detective-style story, nice worldbuilding. Nothing really outstanding or not-seen-before, but all in all a good read (7+).
- Dying of the Light by George R.R. Martin. His debut, and it shows. The prose is nice enough, the characters good, the ideas are there. But it doesn't add up, tie in, work out.

Now I'm in dubio to begin in The Reality Dysfunction (with a vengeance), start Brin's Startide Rising (which I'm told is one of his best works, certainly compared to Sundiver) or do a "and now for something completely different" and give The Scar a shot (I really can't come into PDD though).

Just finished The Year of Our War by Steph Swainston.
About to start Cloud of Sparrows by Takashi Matsuoka. My interest was piqued by this thread on the ASOIAF board. It features Samurai, Ninja, Gunslingers & Mongol Hordes: what more to ask?
