Help
Finally finished Mountain of Black Glass - good ending, though I don't see how he could possibly keep going for another 1200 pages.
Once I'm done with Sea of Silver Light, I'm gonna re-read House of Chains, then order The Warrior-Prophet (and what's the deal with the UK release date there, eh?).
Reading at t'moment?

After the recent discussion, I thought I'd let y'all know that I just bought Iain M Banks latest novel - The Algebraist and will start reading it tonight

If its the one by Stan Nicholls then yeah, an interesting series written from the other point of view.
If you enjoy then go for the Quicksilver novels by Stan Nicholls, theres only two at the mo but theyre shaping up well.

Nice analogy
Just finished Market Forces, very good
Quite different to Morgan's Kovacs books, but still high-quality. Can't wait for the next one to come out
Now probably starting the third Al Reynolds book. Then one after Revelation Space and Redemption Ark... Something Gap?

I'm well aware they are a waste you fool
but they fit the order perfectly as a certain rabid fat kid pointed out. they are also the only 2 on that list I wont be reading. you are all welcome to stew over what that means, but its not really that much of a leap.
still listening to Krishna as it were

Now reading The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice. I wasn't planning on starting this so soon after The Vampire Lestat, but you can't argue with the cliffhanger endings

Reading Simon Scarrow's latest two books, The Eagle and the WOlves and Eagles Prey, must say shaping up really well, definitely worth picking up. Sort of a Roman Sharpe but through the use of common soldiers.

Actually re-reading "lord of the rings", for the first time I'm reading my english copy of the book. Still as good as I remembered

nah. that's 6 books too many. the first two were alright. it just got repetative after that. like a bad batman sequel where the penguin returns. but this time around he's got colours on his umbrellas. you just know that batman's gonna kick his ass anyway.
