I think my favorite story parts came from Pillars of Creation; when I re-read that story paying attention only to the Richard parts, I enjoy it far more than when I re-read it in its entirety.

Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ I have a nasty habit of picking up a LOTR book and then just finishing the series from whatever mid-sentence word my eyeballs fall on.
We're now teabagging Saruman after he got his shit pushed in around the midpoint of Two Towers. |

Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ Just finishing Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Watch-Bo ... 497&sr=8-1 Final book of the series. If you've only seen the movie Night Watch, do yourself a favor and pick these up. They are a great read. Lukyanenko himself studied psychology so his characters are all very rich and detailed and ethical quandries they face are very compelling. _________________ "So you're a demon huh?

Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ Just seconding the recommendation of the Lukyanenko series. It's great stuff.
I also liked the movies as well, although I think of them as more of a visual guide to the books. Not too heavy on content but they certainly look pretty cool. |

Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ Finally!* Today I picked up:
Toll the Hounds, the eighth Malazan Book of the Fallen, by Steven Erikson. I'll be in my bunk. Doug. *I ordered it in mid August. Canada Post jobbed things up, and when I eventually got my delivery notice I went to the postal depot yesterday evening and got there just as there was a power failure, and the subsequent locking of doors and suspension of service. _________________ "More than the impossible, your players will attempt the unintended." |

Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ I third the recommendation Lukyanenko series. Post-Soviet Russian Urban Fantasy ... how's that for sub-sub-genre-ization?
