Ahira's Hangar

Williams' The War of the Flowers. So far, so good (50 pages). For once, a F/SF author manages to talk about drugs and rock without sounding like a complete dork. ________________

I think I am going to read that soon, Syl.

I decided to read something light...so I have picked up a book by Mercedes Lackey...a book called Joust about dragon knights, which seems be somewhat inspired by ancient Egypt... ******************************************************

Perhaps I'll come for you myself some night. You ought to see me...my fur is white now, pale as snow,but the stature, the majesty, the power, those have not left me...We are the direwolves, the nightmares who haunt your racial memories, the dark shapes circling endlessly beyond the light of your fires.~George R.R. Martin<i></i>

At the moment I am reading the Legends II short stories edited by Robert Silverberg.

Also recently finished "Fool's Fate" by Robin Hobb.

Both excellent reads Vote in the Fantasy Author Showdown<i></i>

Recently finished Robert Stanek's Kingdom Alliance. I have Robin Hobb's Ship Of Magic on my nightstand to read next. I'm hoping its as good as the other book! <i></i>

Susie, you must be either European or an Aussie.
Neither of those books have been released here in the US yet.
Stormking, I have not tried that author...how do you like the book? Good read? ******************************************************

I have been reading Sean Russel Swans War trilogy (frist book - the name escapes me). It is pretty good so far. Has an excellent review on back cover by our beloved SRD! Cripple but free; I was blind all the time I was learning to see<i></i>

I've started Paladin of Souls while I wait to get 'To Green Angel Tower: Siege'. After Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn I'll be reading War of the Flowers. I don't know what I'll move onto next... <i></i>

I finished up C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters last night, and if I find a bit more energy later on today I would like to post a quote or two...

I started reading Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy today...I have been meaning to for about a year, given how much MsMary and Foamy like them. So far I am really enjoying them. I really like the idea of the daemons, a soul/spirit in animal form that is bonded to every human...

I'm still waiting for tGAT: Siege
While I wait, I'm rereading aSoIaF. <i></i>

Wow, Murrin, you've been waiting for that book to come for a long time!!
I finished The Amber Spyglass last night, and I have to say that I very much enjoyed the Phillip Pullman series. Very unusual, and very cool -- and with a bittersweet ending... There is a tiny little companion book called Lyra's Oxford which consists mainly of a short story, and that will be my next read...
After that I hope to read some Simmons and LeGuin short stories...and Legends 2 which FINALLY came out in the USA!!! I can't wait to read the Martin and Gaiman stories in particular. ******************************************************

I finished the little book of Le Guin stories, Changing Planes, and will embark on Legends 2 as soon as I get the chance.
I have been concentrating a lot of my energy and spare time on trying to catch up with the group read over at Kevin's Watch the last few days. I'm nearly there. ******************************************************

Still waiting... Waterstones told me they'd send something in the post when they got te book in, but it's been three weeks (they said it would take two)...

Meanwhile, I've reread aSoIaF up to aSoS:Part 2, which I'll start today... ------------------

" 'You see, I don't believe in Todd. I think Todd exists only in your minds'
'You take that back!'
'Where is your Todd now?' *laughs evilly*"<i></i>

I am currently in the middle of a reread of Donaldson's Mordant's Need. I have finished the first book, will hopefully have time to get started on the second book tomorrow... ******************************************************
