    I finished a Storm of Swords so I am finally ready to start on A Feast for Crows.

    After I finish A Feast for Crows I may go back over the entire series again in order to create a spreadsheet to analyze the average life expectancy of the characters in this series.

    @JSBB- not long. I'm plowing through A Feast for Crows, and it follows usual pattern of mass slaughter. I wonder how many will be left by the end?

    Good stuff JSBB!

    I'm halfway through "The Bonehunters" by Steven Erikson. Man, that guy can breathe more life into a 5 minute character who dies on the next page than some authors manage to put into their heroes.

    How about a review of the Bonehunters when your done. I just finished Midnight Tides here in SouthKorea but have no access to the Bonehunters until August. I'd love to read how it is though!

    Ask Joacquin next time he pops in, he's been done with it for some time already i believe. Reading The Ruin by Richard Lee Byers, book 3 of the Rogue Dragons trilogy.

    What do you think to it? I thought it was complete trash. The guy must have the mind of a thirteen year old, the amount of petty swearing and sexual perversion went way beyond the call of duty. It's probably the only book I've ever thrown away in disgust :p

    Oh, tell me if it's good. I quite like Richard Lee Byers.


    I bought book 5 of the WotSQ series. Phillip AThans, but I approach it with an open mind.

    It ended pretty good. I like his FR stuff too. Richard Baker is another of the FR writers whose work I really enjoy. Misplaced my copy of City of Splendors, but it's just as well. Just picked up the new paperback copy of Anansi Boys (Finally!) and am reading that.

    About two thirds of the way through "Bonehunters" by Steven Erikson. Great stuff so far, although I have a million questions for anybody who might be able to answer them.

    I'm currently reading The War of the Spider Queen series. At the moment I'm on book three, it's pretty good so far.

    "The Divine Comedy" by Daunte... only its more like I'm trying to get myself to read rather then actually reading it.

    I loved the WotSQ series. Crappy ending though imo. Just finished Anansi Boys, Spider made me furious :mad:

    Going to start Soul Magic by Pratchett.

    "Sum of all Fears" by Tom Clancy.

    Just finished "Curse of the Witch King" by R. A. Salatore. I liked it very much.

    "Dorian Gray" is a great read, Daie! :thumb:

    I'm currently working on "Judaism, Physics, and God," as the conversational habits of the people sitting around me on the train permit...

    I just finished 'Fast food Nation' by Eric Schlosser, and I hear there is going to be a movie based on this book :D

    'Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict' by Norman G. Finkelstein - I have only just started this book, but its very interesting. So far, so good :thumb:

    Reading 2 at the minute. Getting near to finishing the 2nd book in the Liveship Traders trilogy and just picked up the V for Vendetta graphic novel by Alan Moore, which is quite good.
