Super September - What literary offering are you currently reading?

[Rosemary]

Re-reading Prince of the Blood by Raymond Feist. Just to keep me going until the next volumes in 3 series I am reading are in the bookshops

Much longer to wait Eris, and I too will be re-reading Katherine Kerr

 

[Razorback]

Polaris by Jack McDevitt. This is my third by McDevitt. I thought A Talent for War and Infinity Beach were better, but this was still a good SF mystery read. Unlike a lot of stuff I read, this story captured my interest within the first few pages. I figured out where it was headed about half way through, but I still enjoyed finishing the book. Also, his last little twist made me laugh.

or Im going to dig into the pile of Harlan Ellison I picked up over the weekend at some used bookstores.

Query? Which Ellison volumes did you pick up?

Gateway to Hell, Dennis Wheatly

 

[GOLLUM]

You seem to plug this quite often. Are you on their commission list?

I wish!....

Completing my reread of the Dickensian classic Iron Dragon's Daughter and then finally onto Dante Club (apologies to Nesacat for the tardiness).

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Darn! And I was thinking I might want to hire you myself, if your rates were reasonable.

 

[dwndrgn]

I'll happily plug your book for free - if you'd only publish the thing!!! The Hidden Stars is missing it's sequel...nudge, nudge; wink, wink

 

[GOLLUM]

Looks like my reputation is spreading...

Speaking of which, I've now noticed Teresa's Hidden Stars not only at Borders but several local general bookstores and also at the pre-eminent specialist SFF store in Melbourne, Minotaurs, home of all Nebula, Hugo and World FA recipients from 1963 and the SF and F M series....

Just finished The Wandering Fire by Guy Gavriel Kay and desperately trying to get my hands on The Darkest Road.

 

[Status]

I'm almost finished with Song of the Earth by John R Dann. Then I think I'm going to start on The Runes of the Earth by Stephen R Donaldson.

Just started StarMan (last book in the Axis trilogy). There is enough intrigue to keep me interested, but I miss the depth of characters that I experienced in Tigana (the last book I read before I started the trilogy). How does the Wayfarer Redemption trilogy compare to Axis?

 

[Rosemary]

It compares very well Elvet...at least I really enjoyed this trilogy as much as the Axis trilogy.

Some characters are still with us, while a new set is introduced - some you will either love or hate. Revenge, a civil war and tradgedy make up some of the storyline.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have...

Since when did Sun-Tzu write about marketing?

I'm not quite as enthusiatic as Rosemary on this one. I felt the second trilogy had run out of steam a bit, the first trilogy is the best by far IMHO.

 

[Frozeninja]

Heh, still trying to finish the Liveship Traders trilogy by Hobb. On the third book now, but been rather busy lately, and moving to university on the 16th, so no telling when i'll finally tackle this tome.

 

[carrie221]

Time Quartet by Madeleine L'Engle's
In the Presence of Mine Enemies by Harry Turtledove
CSI:Miami Book
Time Traveler's Wife (Probably start tomorrow)

 

[Riselka]

Currently reading "Knights of the Black and White" by Jack Whyte, the first book in what's expected to be a trilogy about the Templar Knights.

Then I'll go back and finish up re-reading Michael Slade's books with "Hangman", Death's Door, and Bed of Nails.

After that, possibly Rebecca Kohn's "The Gilded Chamber", and "Seven Days to the Sea".

 

[Foxbat]

Just started Hunters Of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. It's the sequel to Chapterhouse and I've waited twenty years to find out what happens next so I hope it's worth the wait

 

[j d worthington]

Well, I finished Nick Mamatas' Move Under Ground... and I'm left with some ambivalent feelings about it. Toward the end it became more of a surrealistic novel influenced by William S. Burroughs -- which would be fine, in itself -- but it left the ending rather anticlimactic, feeling somewhat flaccid. Overall, however, it is very well written and with some sterling moments. As a first novel, it's quite an achievement, actually. Definitely worth a look for those who have a taste for darker contemporary fantasy, and an often very rich use of language; it also has a different take on the Lovecraftian mythos that is rather interesting.
