the fifteenth (or was it the sixteenth?) book of the new jedi order series.
and a couple of other books whose names 'thul is unwilling to divulge.


Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

You do understand that such a statement only serves to increase our curiosity, right? So what are they? Might they be chicklit, some juicy erotica or that genre which contains nothing but crap... FANTASY.

Of course 'thul knows...
The books are (unsurprisingly) both fantasy...
One is of the deverry cycle. The other is of some series these beings are unsure what is named.

Have begun 'The Triumph' as I am in need of some Hobb-ness!

I started reading The Space Eater by David Langford yesterday. I have long known Langford as "the guy who writes columns for SFX magazine" but had never read any of his fiction before.

Did I mention that I'm really liking Dead Witch Walking so far?

Finished The Space Eater yesterday. It was a good sf novel: solid, but nothing special. I haven't picked a new home-book yet because the book I want to read next is due to be delivered within a few days. In any case, I still have Dead Witch Walking, that book with the notorious cover. And I have two words for you: rat fight. One of the tensest scenes I've read in quite a while.

'All-star Superman' by Grant Morrison. I'm not really a big Superman fan, but this is a nice version.

I've started The Complete Robot by Isaac Asimov. I was in the mood for some more short stories after reading The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other tales.

Is that old school Jekyll and Hyde?

Just started Without Warning by John Birmingham.
Not to far into it but the whole concept intrigues me.

It's about some mysterious force that wipes out the majority of America (Not some sort of nuke or weapon.). Not sure where the author is going just yet. But it'll be interesting to see what he unfolds and what the world would do.

For a better explanation of the book you'd be better of reading this

Just don't read where he points out spoilers P
