And good too. You'll enjoy it, Rodeo. Except that it may be a little bit too like your history textbooks...


That's ok. I often greatly enjoy reading dry history textbooks. Yes, I am geek, hear me roar! Posted Image

I just finished
Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Holy hell, boring! Some parts are pretty interesting but the characters talk and talk and talk!

William Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Short but amusing.

@ Falco. Try to track down a copy of the 6 part Tv series of "Neverwhere". It was a fairly low budget BBC drama and does not quite hit the heights of the novel,but the spirit of the book is there. More intriguing than mesmerising.

Reading the second novella in "The Anvil Of the World". Also reading excerpts from GRRMs "Rretrospective".(see GRRM thread )His autobiographical pieces, on his writing development and the SF/Fantasy publishing industry are touching are insightful.

@DrBloodmoney1: thanks for the clarification. I hate Brooks' work, so that's why I was concerned for your well being.

I've read almost all of Stephen King's stuff, but there was such a huge gap between books in the Dark Tower saga that I never even got to Wastelands...based on what people have been saying on these forums, maybe I should go pick up the remainder of the series

Oponn, sometimes it depends on the order you read the books in as well. My best friend read Interview with a Vampire first and I read The Vampire Lestat first. Louis was his fav. vampire while Lestat was my fav. vampire. But you're right, Lestat was a big butt in Interview.

Juggling between City of Saint and Madmen by Vandermeer and The Emperor of Dreams by Clark Ashton Smith. I reccomend Smith to any fans of Hovecraft.

Currently re-reading Feet of Clay. One of my favourite of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels

The rest of Lord of Emperors was just as good as the start - superb!

Reading The Reality Dysfunction by Peter Hamilton - so far the blurb subtitle "A Nightmare with no end...?" is a little too apt.
