    Got Assasins Quest by Robin Hobb today, I'll start reading that to finish the Farseer Series. It's bloody big though! It'll take me forever.

    The Western Way of War - Victor Davis Hanson

    Well, this is a rather fascinating exploration of the mechanics of hoplite combat.

    It was good standard fantasy - not something I would rave over but quite enjoyable.

    Very close to finishing The Vampire Lestat - 50 or so pages to go. I'll probably move onto Queen of The Damned as soon as I'm done, unless something else comes along.

    i read a number of the vampire chronicles. imo, the only ones worth anything were interview with a vampire and the vampire lestat. Memnoch the Devil was certainly crap. Not reading anything right now except economic journals and textbooks for school. can't wait until friday..

    I had not been reading since I arrived in Chicago but I went out to Pizza restaurant and brought my book along because I knew there was going to be a wait. As typical with me, once I start reading I can rarely stop so I ended up finishing White Griffon back in my hotel room and I have started on Silver Gryphon.

    White Gryphon was decent but not as good as Black Gryphon. It is a little too early to tell but Silver Gryphon seems similar in quality to White Gryphon.

    1/3 of the way through "A Feast for Crows" by George R. R. Martin. Good stuff so far, even though not much has happened.

    Assassins Quest is exceptional at the moment, I'm about a quarter through it. Hobb really is an exceptional writer, probably my favourite. I hope it doesn't get sad at the end olike the last one! Sad endings suck. Happy endings are where it's at.

    Just finished Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan and i can recommend it to every Wheel of Time fan...finally the pace in the story is to back to where it once was, and subquests finally ends...

    I'll start reading A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin now, expectations are extremely high....

    Barmy - Hobb rules. You can read the Liveship Traders trilogy next. I enjoyed that one even more than the Farseer trilogy although they're both great.

    Well, before reaching the state of contentment, there are still some volumes to be read. Bittersweet is the best that one can get. But that's probably the addicting part of it, the loss, the grief and no noteworthy reward.

    Oh yeah, I've just finished Black Juice. A disturbing book of short stories if I ever read one.

    @Barmy

    As I said in another thread (can't remember which) Fitz has got to be the most unfortunate protagonist ever. Nobody has had to put up with all the crap that he's had to. Still a good read though, but it can get pretty ****ing depressing lol
