Trying not to read to fast as it will be 18 months before Dust of Dreams is out
and scifi/fantasy is very light on talent of late
Sci-fi has Alastair Reynolds, Neal Asher, Richard Morgan, Peter Hamilton, Ian M. Bainks, Stephen Baxter.....:eek:0 -

Just reading the final novella in George RR Martins "Dreamsongs" anthology.
I haven't enjoyed a read that good in a long time. By way of introduction he talks through the background of all the stories, and what he was doing at the time they were written. Most of the stuff is sci-fi, and with the possible exception of the "Wild Card" stories (which were only okay), the material is all brilliant. You'd expect the earlier stuff to be dodgy, when in actual fact I thought it some of his best.
Highly recommended for those of us still awaiting "A Dance With Dragons".

Because it's great up until book six and then you have the soul crushing disappointment of the next six with turgid plotlines and flimsy characters. And yet, by then, it's too late and you can't stop but you wish you'd never startedfrenchtaxi wrote: »hahaha!

I thought the series picked up again after the whole Aiel kidnap plotline which was a bit pointless. I really like the last 2 books. Pity RJ died Hopefully the new writer will finish the saga well.
ANyway, planning on getting the Book of the New Sun. Cant think of the auther atm but Ive heard good things.0 -

I'm listening to the audio book right now. I don't even need to stop while I'm working I don't see myself going any further in the series tbh. It's a bit too immature for me. 0 -

Just finished The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and was gutted to learn that the next book isnt out till April 09, arrrgggghhh, if i'd known that i might not have started because its such a good book that I just want to keep going and going
Have Sword in the Storm -David Gemmell and The lies of Locke Lamora lined up next, with Terry Goodkind - Confessor for the weekend,
David Gemmell i know and i've read loads of his books so it should be good but i'm a bit iffy about starting The Lies as i'm not sure what to expect, and i'm only reading Confessor because i've read the rest of the series and at this stage I just want it to end, the first 6 books were excellent and then it was all downhill, preachy, stuck in a rut kind of writing from there,0
