Svyatoslav, I've only read Planet Savers before, which was pretty good and Planet Wreckers seems promising. They are both from the Darkover series. Old-school sci-fi.

 

Just started _War of the Flowers_ by Tad Williams. This was an impulse buy, as I've never read anything by Williams before. I hope it's gets good - sort of strange so far...

 

@Chandos
i found it pretty good. if you like it you may want to check out tailchaser's song by him also.

 

Chandos - I bought it as an impulse thing too. Didn't think much of it.

 

*Arh*

I'm now on the 4th book in the 'The first man in Rome' book series. This one is titled Ceaser's Women.. I just have to get through the last 3 books, so I can buy meself some nice fantasy . Even though this book series is very exciting, my brain could use a bit relaxation from all the history, all the names, places, and especially all the numbers (e.g. anno <xxxx>!)... I'm looking forward to finally put my teeth in a nice 10+ y book like 'Eragon' .

 

Reading the 2nd Robin Hobb book, Royal Assassin. Pretty good so far.

 

Just finished Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders trilogy. I thought it was even better than the Farseer trilogy.

Now starting 'The Cavern of Black Ice' by J. V. Jones. Ok so far.

 

I finished Deathstalker Rebellion - what a yawn inducer that was. It did get a bit better towards the end but it was still pretty damned bad.

The main characters make Drizzt and friends look like perfectly normal/reasonable everyday folk - every time you turn around these guys are developing new uber-abilities and single handedly taking down small armies of grunts.

 

What's the next one on the Farseer Trilogy Gaz?

 

The third one is Assassin's Quest.

 

seriously? less depressing perhaps, but the farseer trilogy really wrenches your heart, Fitz has got to be the most unfortunate protagonist I've ever encountered :/

 

Hmm, I just thought the Liveship characters were better and the whole arc of the story was more innovative. Fitz got a bit depressing as he went on. Malta is a more interesting character than Fitz any day.

But don't get me wrong, Farseer is still brilliant stuff. I just liked Liveships better.

 

Just finished In the Realm of the Wolf by Gemmell.

 

Some very interesting recommendations; thank you all.

I'm currently re-reading Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon, as part of a planned re-read of the extant five volumes in her series; the sixth, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, is due out this fall, and I hope to coerce my library to buy it.

I'm also anticipating the arrival in my postbox of Kushiel's Avatar, by Jacqueline Carey, and Golden Fool and Fool's Fate, both by Robin Hobb. I've read the earlier books in both these series (and the earlier series by Robin Hobb, as well) and enjoyed both immensely.

And, just for the heck of it, I borrowed a book on the Raelian sect from a coworker. Called Raël -- Journal d'une infiltrée, by Brigitte McCann, it was a terrific - and terrifying - account of two journalists who went deep undercover in this sect. A definite recommend for any French readers!

 

Laid down 'Midnight Tides' by Erickson. I couldn't handle another 50 new characters on a completely new continent in an ongoing saga.

Now Re-re-re-reading 'A game of thrones' well to be honest only the character chapters which will be in the upcoming 'Feast for Crows'

 

Apeman, I felt the same everytime I started a new book in Erikson's series but then for some reason I found every new book to be the best after I had pushed my way through the chore getting into a whole new setting.

 

I just started reading a book on Keith Richards called Satisfaction, I don't remember the name of the author though.

 

I'm reading "The Lone Drow" right now.

 

Mona Lisa Overdrive for me

 

Finished Verne's "20,000 Leagues...", which I hadn't read before, and I'm very disappointed.

I'm tackling "Around the World in 80 Days" now.
