Gonna start The Red Wolf Conspiracy, by Robert V.S. Reddick, next. Looking forward to it from all the reviews and comments I've seen:)

I just started "Last Argument Of Kings". Here's hoping its as brilliant as previously stated.

I also read a few chapters of Small Favors by Jim Butcher, exciting first chapter I must say.

Started reading that yesterday morning, but realised that I don't remember enough details from the previous books in the series, which means I'll have to re-read them first. Wasn't in the mood for that, so I've picked up Temeraire again :o

I'm still undecided wether this is an amusing Centz-related joke or just a mistake... I'm gonna ssume the former;)

I'm re-reading Gardens of the Moon. Again. 16th or 17th reading now, I think.

I'm in the middle of my MBotF reread. I just read books 1-5 for the second time. This weekend, I'll be finishing my first read of Night of Knives. After that, I've got The Bonehunters held for me at the library, and after that, hopefully I'll be able to check out Reaper's Gale (which I haven't read yet.)
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

In a Time of Treason by David Keck. I really thought Keck turned it up several notches in his second installment. And I don't know who or what compares him to Terry Goodkind or Robert Newcomb....but uh...no....they are nothing alike.

Is Keck the next big thing? I was thinking after my Malaz reread and ThH I'd go Abercrombie, but am open to other ideas.

Keck causes divided opinions, I think. But Abercrombie is better, I think most would agree:)

I like them both, two very different styles.

Abercrombie is definitely more of a "sure thing" for you RLY, but I'd recommend Keck if you're feeling adventurous.

I'm about to pick up the "Books of the South" Omnibus by Glen Cook. Can't wait.
