Got that in my pile of books to read.

Just finished Terminal, which I liked:D , and just starting The Conqueror Worms!

Read them both. I thought both were good.

 

Do you have the limited Terminal - I'm sure you do - or mass market.

The limited is a shorter version of the story, with fewer characters.

 

Have you read "The Rutting Season" yet?? I haven't.

Yeh, I've got the limited, but sounds like I'll have to get the paperback now:rolleyes:

 

Rutting Seasons in the pile as well. Got the limited and paperback in that. Both are the same length, just checked;)

Just started reading The Gallow's Thief by Bernard Cornwell. Haven't read any of his stuff before, so it's an open door (or book) to me. Anyone else read Cornwell before? I hear he's quite popular!!!

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

I just finished Night Life by Ray Garton, well worth a read. I'm currently in the middle of God's War - A new History of the Crusades by Christopher Tyerman, as long as the bloody airlines let me take it on board anyway. It's a bit heavy and at 1024 pages quite long but really interesting. Makes you wish that world leaders would learn from mistakes made in history!

With you on that one. I read all the Crusades and Templars stuff long before all this Da Vinci Crap came out. And you're right, it is interesting stuff. I also have about 3 books on the go about Amercan Indians and their treatment at the hand of the 'white savage'. Check out 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown. Compelling stuff, indeed. Truly. They (the whites, cavalry included) were the real bastards!

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Wazzuck the Feckless of Taunton

just started reading 'the tale of the body thief' by my 2nd fave author Anne Rice. have read the books in order exept for thios one as i could never find it & hp lovecraft gets a mention!

if any of yous lot are familiar with her work, has anyone read Memnoch the Devil?

Nope! Not read it Joeann. Am just starting to read 'More Than Human' by Theodore Sturgeon. looks interesting!!

‘Bow to Leper Messiah’

Lord Mandy the Feckless of Taunton!!

Just finished Hacks by Brian Knight.

 

This book was the most fun book i've read in awhile.

 

A slasher story.

Really can't recommend More Than Human (Theodore Sturgeon) highly enough - if you can get hold of a copy. Fantastic. Second best book I've read in donkeys' years.

After reading Dragonfly, a collection of short stories, some of the best short stories I've read, and then Hacks, one of the most fun books I've ever read, I had to try Broken Angel by Brian Knight. Looking forward to more from him.

 

Life in Clearwater was quiet, even a little dull for Grim, but it was better than the time he’d spent on the streets of Seattle. His biggest worry was being caught playing paintball in the salvage yard by Old Man Wallen. Then the strange girl arrived, abandoned at a roadside dinner. Drugged, sick, with no memory of her past.

 

Grim had a bad feeling about her from the beginning but he didn’t say anything when his foster mother, Clara, took her in. If anyone needed a home, it was this strange, sad girl. Clara’s new Angel.

 

Michele had always been a good girl, was never in trouble. Then Angel came, and the very night the strange girl appeared, Michele killed a man. It wasn’t murder, but it didn’t matter. When her old friends shun her, Michele finds friendship again in Clearwater’s other outsiders: Grim and Angel.

 

As Angel’s health improves and her memory returns, the hot Clearwater summer becomes increasingly strange. Insanity creeps through the small town like a plague, spawning violence, and no one is immune. And death has arrived in the form of a shadowy figure lurking in the woods at night.

I'm currently reading Fat White Vampire Blues. It's a bit mad.

Umm I just finished a Star Wars book DARTH BANE, it was pretty good.

I just started THE TOUCH yesterday and enjoying it.

oohooo, just started The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant 50 pages in this morning - it's a page turner... I have the least clue of what's going on but I found it in M's books, so thought I'd give it a go

I read the Thomas Covenant stuff years ago when I was more into Fantasy books. Remember quite enjoying them, might have to revisit them while I'm waiting for my next Laurell K Hamilton fix!

 

Also just bought a Kim Harrison book, Dead Witch Walking, which appears to be much in the vein (har de har!) of Laurell K Hamilton (the Anita Blake series) and Tanya Huff (the Vicki Nelson books)

Currently reading The Dark War books by Feist which I got for Xmas, nearly done with the 2nd but gutted as I have to wait for the 3rd which will be published god knows when!!!

Brilliant as always and just as good as the Rift war and the Serpant war series but I could use the time in between to catch up on the other books I haven't got yet like the conclave of shadoes series/Empire series/riftwar legends series/krondor series/sons of the blood series and any others that have escaped from my ever failing memory..........phew thats a lot of reading I need too do................

"It's Alive" welcome back Pete.

 

Jig saw by Gord Rollo

 

Would you give up one of your arms for 2 million dollars?

Michael Fox did.

 

Classic science vs. science fiction

Some modern horror mixed in with the creation mythos

 

A page turner

Ohh I finished Conclave of Shadows not too long ago and am into the 2nd book of the Empire series atm (didn't have books 1 & 3 yet). I'll probably wait until the 3rd comes out of the Dark War as I won't be able to wait for the 3rd after reading the first 2 heh heh. I still need to get hmm I forget which ones.. Jimmy the Hand I know for one and one or two stand-alone books, did I get the Krondor ones too? *looks* Ohh yes I did, treated meself to both Krondor and Conclave series. I think Krondor is pre-Riftwar as Jimmy is a young man then and Conclave I believe is hmmm 20+? years after the Serpent Wars. Empire is during Riftwar and before Serpentwars...lol One day will read them all again in order. I have the rest of the series I believe now except for the last, Dark Wars.

 

Oh also got Shards of a Broken Crown too as for some reason I kept overlooking that one as one I had... but didn't. I would have loved to have been a part of their Friday Nighters group.. playing these stories pen & paper wise.

Just finished Hart's War by John Katzenbach. Great book. I wish they'd left it alone as a film, cos it turned out to be completely different from the book. (Isn't that always the case - mostly?). Got to start Khai of Khem next!!! :eek:

I'm reading User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development. You can imagine it's quite dry. It's not quite as bad as it sounds I quite like it. Something tells me, about 0.00001% of you might be interested.

The shrinking man by Matheson. A classic.

HA! Have finally read Khai of Khem. Khasathut? - It's hard not to picture him as some sort of mini Wamphyri, even though the book was written 20 years ago. Not bad at all, though. A slight departure from Necro series and a welcome diversion.

 

Still recommending Stuart McBride (Cold Granite & Dying Light) to anybody out there, though. New novelist, and very dark and funny, all at the same time. Cop stuff set in Aberdeen, but well readable. Not your average run-of-the-mill pulp fiction (sic). Sick, actually!!

And further to last post, I recommend Hollywood Station by Joseph Wambaugh. The man has got the Midas touch. Keith (DC), you'd love it. Right up your street. :grin:

just finished Stardust by Gaiman... what a nice story. I really liked it.

 

now reading anansi boys... it reminds me a bit of American Gods, which was ace, so I'm happy about that!
