I wish he would finish that god damn book already.

A Song of Ice and Fire is the best fantasy series I have read in years...and with how long this one is taking, it better be good...or else...I will complain...on the internet.

I recently have been trying to get into these post-apocalyptic books by SM Sterling...I just started reading Dies the Fire. I'm a sucker for the post-apoc stuff but so far this book is only mildly keeping my interest.

I am also reading yet another compendium of Robert E Howard stories. Its a compilation called Crimson Shadows that actually only has one or two Conan stories. It has a ton of the Bran Mak Morn and other Celtic oriented stories he did, and some other characters. Howard is one of my favorite authors.

You should love it.

I am already. This quote had me rolling:

"Think young male, that was the thing. Fart loudly and with self-satisfaction at a job well done, walk like a puppet that'd had a couple of random strings cut, never hug anyone, and, if you meet a friend, punch them."

A Walk in the Woods

by Bill Bryson

I just finished Simon R. Green's "Agents of Light and Darkness" in a couple of hours. This book is part of his "Nightside" series, which take place in a mystical London netherworld. The first book in the series was no great shakes, but if you want fast-paced pulp action with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in, I'd recommend this one as a starting point.

I noticed there was a new Discworld book out, yay!

A couple of years ago, I finally swore off all "series" books -- as well as TV shows that have cliffhanger endings every week. I get WAY too obsessed with wanting to know what happens.

I did grandfather in Harry Potter and the Katherine Kurtz Deryni books, though. I started on the Kurtz books when I was in high school...and I turned 40 this year. (Sheesh...finish the story already!)

I read that one years ago. A bit outdated now, but cool to see metal getting academic respect nonehteless.
