For some darned reason, i've been reading a lot more recently. Of course, it's a pain in the ass to come up with good books, so I thought it'd be interesting to get an HLP perspective. We're all intelligent people (Dekker need not apply, ), so it's logical to assume most of us are in the middle of a good book at the moment.

So, yeah, what's everybody reading at the moment?

Personally, i'm reading both American Psycho and Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South, and i'm keeping an eye out for some more Antony Beevor books after how much I adored Berlin and Stalingrad. I like to keep it eclectic.

Just finished the Dark Mechanicus, now reading Harry Turtledove's Darkness series. Also waiting on my library booking of Jade Phoenix Trilogy.

I just started "Star Wars: Republic commando: Hard Contact"

I just started chapter 3, and it's a good one.

Thats on my to buy list. Is it a good book ?

[Rson]

I'm somewhere in book four of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, the Shadow Rising.  I must finish the series...

Re-reading the George RR Martin books while he finishes writing the next one!

(he's being slow about it)

Have you read Song of Ice and Fire ?

I'm actually trying to read a few, at least when I can find the time: Speaker for the Dead, The Divine Comedy, 1985, and we. SftD is okay so far, but I'm only like six pages in or so. I started reading Dante about three months ago, and on top of the other books, I'm only a few cantos into Inferno. 1985 (no, I don't mean 1984), I'm reading for school. And I'm reading We just because it looked semi interensting.

Too many books at once. But, uh, for example I'm going through Kevin J Andersons Saga of Seven Suns at the moment.

I just finished 'Great Expectations' and I'm about to start 'Around the World in Eighty Days.' I'm trying to catch up on my 19th Century literature.

[Dark Hunter]

I've been reading the sequels to Ender's Game recently, and am now on Children of the Mind.

Afterward, I plan on some Discworld novels.

Afterward, I plan on some Discworld novels.

I recommend reading Night Watch. Its one of my favorite books of the series, beside the book where Death gets fired.

[Dark Hunter]

I've already checked out Guards! Guards! and Soul Music... the library didn't have Nightwatch, at least at that branch.

Ah. Guards! Guards! is also quite intresting; introduces one of the series' main characters. Soul Music is part of the Death series. Generally the Discworld books I read are from either one the Death series, or the Watch series.

[Ghostavo]

Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy and I want to see if I ever finish My System.

Connor Kostick's Epic and Saga are good books, and BTW they kick major MMORPG butt. Take that, you ****ing soul-eaters!

[Ransom]

I'm nearly done reading Philip Palmer's Debatable Space. It's interesting; he fiddles around with formatting on a few occasions, although nothing ergodic. Something about it's not quite clicking for me, though. By the point I'm at the characters are doing some pretty epic things, but it doesn't feel as big as it should.

Part of it's because the book is short and Palmer glosses over a lot of things, but mostly I think it's because there's very little serious conflict. There's plenty of personal conflict between the characters, but they bowl over what ought to be daunting obstacles like they're not even there. They liberated an entire planet and the bad guys never even had a chance.

Quite a fun read, though.

Too many books at once. But, uh, for example I'm going through Kevin J Andersons Saga of Seven Suns at the moment.

Does that series improve after the first one? I've considered committing to the series but Hidden Empire was far from encouraging.

I've been reading the sequels to Ender's Game recently, and am now on Children of the Mind.

Read up through Xenocide a couple years ago. Then didn't start reading Children of the Mind until a couple weeks ago, which I just interrupted with Invincible, the last of the Legacy of the Force books.

It's about the same in the second book, as far as I've gotten. I liked the first book, however, as I'm a big fan of space opera.

I've also read obscene amounts of pulp, as well as discussed this hydrogue theory intensively before even stumbling over this series.

I must say they vary awfully much in quality.
