What Book Are You Reading?

[captain]

captain,

sounds like a play off the emberverse series by SM stirling. in both series, it seems like northwest US (oregon/washington area) survives.

I have not read those so I will hunt them down and have a read, thanks.

time to move there? :biggrin

Too damn cold. A tropical, south seas hideaway, much more agreeable,,,think Tahiti or similar :). Captain Cook thought it was allright and his crew thought it was even better.:))

Have since learned that Birmingham's book will not be available in the U.S until early 09.

Cheers.

Congrats Knaur, that was fast.
Just wanted to tell you that the ones i told you about are a bit out of date, he's written a few more since then.

The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. So far I rather like it.

Discworld people:

Favourite series/book?

Mine is the guards series.

[BD1]

Guards and witches series too.
Favourite ´Mort´ because it was so much above the level of previous ones , that it renewed my interest

[Knaur Amarsh]

A male child - Paul Scott
The Dark Arena - Mario Puzo

Liked both of them very much. Dark Arena, along with Fools Die, are Puzo's earlier works, and much darker and more abstract than the later Mafia genre novels.

I'm actually liking it. Page 150 on day 1.

I fast-read the Fountainhead a good two years ago. Liked it too.

Right now in my longish holiday I've done:

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain
Egypt, Greece, and Rome: Civilizations of the Ancient Mediterranean (only half)
The Selfish Gene
The God Delusion
The 3 mistakes of my life
5 point someone
Emperors of the Peacock Throne.
A Theory of Everything
Eat, Pray and Love ( A crappy novel by a useless biatch)

I just about recollect 10-15% of what I read in these books. Thats me. I don't remember anything I read. Crappy memory. The plan is to finish by the end of this year the fantastic Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins.

I ll try to dig up some Le Carre's this weekend.

Working today so I am reading through World War II: the events and their impact on real people

In a bit I am going to put in the "dramatic footage" DVD that came with it!! :)
