Let's see if they are as good as Elric, because I haven't been terribly impressed with the others.  I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists.

  Member Since: July 2003  RK: 13 MP: 6,289  | Saturday April 10, 2010 12:35 PM Just finished Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson for my english class. I vaguely recalled liking the movie (Ethan Hawke can do no wrong in my eyes), and I started on the book a few years back but never finished. I can see why it won so many awards, but this was probably one of the most depressing books I've read in a long time. Good book, I'd recommend it, but have a nice dose of light happy-fuzzies lined up for after it, which is why I'm reading Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris now.As soon as it gets here, I'll be reading Changes by Jim Butcher - my roommate has not yet experienced me going into a Dresden coma yet, so this should be an experience. Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here. Who will bring me hemlock in their own hands? - Renee Vivien Reality is an illusion that occurs with a lack of alcohol. |

Hopefully I'll be able to experience my own soon. -This message brought to you by Nix, Mercenary to the Grammar Nazi regime My gaming groups new motto: Wet the Sock! (Not as dirty as it sounds) |

The book includes some prose too, so we've read the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos and other assorted chronicles.Sit right down my wicked son, and let me tell you a story.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Saturday April 24, 2010 3:29 AM Ah, I remember that one. Looked somewhat closely at it for class last year. Had to look at the different versions.Have just read the Revolution Business, book five of Charles Stross' Merchant Princes series. Damn good reads. I feel happy...I feel happy!

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Sunday May 2, 2010 1:32 AM Have just finished Ian Douglas' "Star corps". Generic military SF. The guy is a bit too fond of throwing around the names of his hardware, and military folks are wonderful people, each and every one, but for one traitor, and all civilians are stupid or greedy or incompetant.Slightly exaggerated, but that's the feeling I got from his book. I doubt I'll pick up the rest of the trilogy. I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Thursday May 6, 2010 12:37 AM "The Last Wish" by Andrzej SapkowskiPolish fantasy. While I found it in the young adults section here, I doubt it would have ended up there had the people in the store read it. He makes fairly free with some themes, including sex and rape (not graphically so, but more than I have read in most adult fantasy). While the world seems rather bland - a mix of dozens of monsters around, the characters are more human and slightly deeper than your run-of-the-mill English fantasy. All in all, a decent pass-time. I believe it is based on the game, or vice versa, "The Witcher". I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.
