So what is your August majesty reading?

[Nikitta]

Drop me a line and I can suggest some further reading in this direction

I've send you a pm. Didn't you receive it?

Yep, just haven't got time to get back to it yet. I'll reply now whilst I'm online; at least on Landolfi.

Cheers....

I started reading "THE PLAYER OF GAMES" by Iain M. Banks
Just finished reading the Night Dawn's Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton though.

Thank you. It is much appreciated

Currently rereading Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea Quartet.

I've just started Stephen Erikson's Gardens of the Moon, after giving up work, telling my friends I'm overseas for six months and stocking the house with cheesy comestibles.

 

[The Judge]

... and stocking the house with cheesy comestibles.

Is that a reflection of your culinary tastes, or the expected quality of the prose...?

 

[HareBrain]

If "culinary tastes" means "which packet you prefer sticking your hand into" then the former.

The prose is well above average, surprising considering how often he produces one of these monsters.

Now I'm reading Non Stop by Brian Aldiss, quite liking it.

I need to find that book-been looking for it on bookmooch for ages! Need too get to the book stall on the market more often!

Once again, I'm giving up on Twain. I managed to get to Chapter 30 or thereabouts. I just can't stand it any longer. I'm going so far as to forcibly eject it from my collection so I never put myself through this torture ever again.

That bad eh! I've always fancied trying Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. How you felt about this book is kind of how I felt about Moby Dick.

Good choice...

On my umpteenth re-read of Murder must Advertise, by Dorothy L. Sayers.

 

[The Judge]

I love Murder must Advertise. Her real-life experience in advertising is so apparent in all of it -- and the effortless prose is wonderful. I think the cricket match is my favourite part of the book, but there's not a duff scene anywhere.

 

[Rosemary]

Well my next book is The Cry of the Marwing by K.S. Nikakis.

It's on my table waiting for me to pick it up and start reading!

This is Book Three of The Kira Chronicles and the concluding one.

Currently reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Anybody seen the movie Charly which was based on this book?

After finally finishing Use of Weapons (Iain M. Banks) last night, I can move on to the latest Hobb - Dragon something-or-other. I forget the name.

 

[Connavar]

From a Frederick Forsyth spy novel to Dark Prince by David Gemmell. I missed reading DG.

 

[No One]

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

 

[Lord Soth]

Finished City and the City by Mievelle, I quite enjoyed it, although the whole 'dual city' thing didn't always work for me.

Have also just finished Empire of Light by Gary Gibson - the 3rd book in the Shoal sequence trilogy. Personally I thought it was too rushed, the technology tree was all over the place and it was a disappointment. Overall the trilogy will receive 6.5 / 10 from me

Have just started Shadow and Betrayal by Danial Abrahams, first book of the quartet. Initial impressions are good - looks like i'm in for a long read as it looks like quite a hefty word count on this.
