  Member Since: July 2003  RK: 13 MP: 6,289      | Wednesday July 8, 2009 8:08 AM Just finished Turn Coat by Jim Butcher, and am in the process of re-reading.Poor, poor Harry. Or maybe poor Thomas. Poor Luccio? I'd say poor Morgan, but... no. The writing in this one seemed a bit tighter than Small Favor, though still a bit weak. Hopefully that was just an off book. Great plot, great character interaction, and I really really want to own a Tibetan Mastiff I can name Mouse. And now another year of agonizing while awaiting the next book, which JB being his evil self is already teasing us with - "Changes", starring Harry Dresden and Susan Rodriguez(?!). The world is therefore not allowed to end in 2010 after all, or at least not until I get my hands on this book.  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. |

And will be picking up The Tea Rose as soon as I have a free minute or many. "I love you." "No you don't. You only say you love me because I FEED you." |

Member Since: July 2003 RK: 13 MP: 6,289 | Sunday August 16, 2009 11:20 PM Dead Men's Boots by Mike Carey. I've been on a dry spell for good books off the new fiction rack, which this one effectively cured. Sort of like a strange combination of Hellblazer, the Dresden Files, and elements that remind me of Neil Gaiman.Highly, highly recommended. Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

 Member Since: October 2000  RK: 14 MP: 7,187 | Wednesday August 19, 2009 3:59 AM I'll look it up. Since Carey spent a rather successful stint as writer for Hellblazer, I'm not surprised at the comparisons.I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen Roberts |

 Member Since: April 2002 RK: 13 MP: 6,311 | Wednesday August 19, 2009 7:41 AM Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. It's what the first season of the television show is based on. Even though I already know what's going to happen, it's a great read. Am I a bad person doing good things...or a good person doing bad things... - Dexter |

| Member Since: August 2006  RK: 3 MP: 488 | Wednesday August 19, 2009 11:00 AM Well, I guess I am reading 1984 again. I can never escape Orwell. I have a class called Stalinism and Nazism, and it is the first book we are reading. Oh well, I love the book so no complaints here."They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety." -Benjamin Franklin "Nor would I, were I given the full rights of an Englishman. But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull. He's thankful for the honor, but he'd much rather have restored what's rightfully his."- Ben Franklin in 1776 |

 Member Since: March 2003 RK: 2 MP: 234 | Saturday August 22, 2009 11:43 PM I've recently picked up "Mister Be Gone" by Clive Barker and so far, I'm impressed with Clive Barkers writing. I even bought "Clausen's Key" by Matthew James Eldridge to read next which is supposed to be good fantasy from what everyone has told me.

  Member Since: May 2000  RK: 7 MP: 1,567 | Tuesday September 1, 2009 8:17 AM I recently got The Runelords by David Farland. It's a fairly interesting read. I wouldn't go to say it's a great book yet, but it at least has me wanting to come back and read more, unlike the Spellsong Cycle series by L.E. Modesitt Jr. My sister lent me the first two books of that series and it took me like six months to read the first one and half of the second, when I normally would have read that number of pages in like a month at most. At the rate I'm reading now, I'll have to get a new book of the runelord series every week or two.If I went around claiming I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away! Commander in the Glitterqueens and General of the mighty Puchuu army! Der Comicstein! |

Member Since: July 2003 RK: 13 MP: 6,289 | Tuesday September 1, 2009 8:52 AM Reading the Analects of Confucius. Endless excitement in a yawning way. The back bills this is as ancient wisdom from the east invaluable for today:"The Master said, a gu ritual drinking vessel that is not a gu ritual drinking vessel - a gu indeed! A gu indeed!" Feeling enlightened yet? 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. |
