I'm interested in that book. I should give it a try soon. Let us know what you think of it, Steel.
I finished A Nameless Witch. It wasn't quite as good as Too Many Curses, but still a lot of fun to read.
I just started The Sword (Chiveis Trilogy) by Brian M. Litfin. It was only $1.99 on the Kindle Store. I read the first couple chapters, and it's pretty good so far. Some of the dialog feels a bit unnatural, though.

Well I just finished it. It's a great novel. Focuses much more in the horrors that can come from human thoughts and actions, instead of the ones coming from a supernatural cause. I believe that makes the story much more terrifying.
Now I started A Game of Thrones. Let's see if this stuff deserves all the erections it gets.
...be prepared to try and remember about 476 different characters names!
...Luckily half of them seem to be Robert!
Yep... and they are loooooooooooooooooooong books!
The first one is good so far. I like it!

I have the 1st book. Bought it back when it first came out on paperback many years ago. Never read beyond the 2nd chapter, though.
I'm about to finish it, tonight or tomorrow night. It's been a blast, an absolute blast. I'm a sucker for these kinds of things.
It's done. Sure it's an entertaining ride. Looking forward to the second book, as long as it gets printed soon in here.
That was fast! I've been reading it for weeks now... Haven't had much quiet, reading time lately!
Yeah. I liked it so much I'm thinking about a second read back to back. I guess it'll all depend on whether I can find the english editions for cheap around here. I'll still pick up the spanish ones to show my support, but I'd surely love to grab the rest of the books as soon as possible.
In the meantime I started The Great Design, by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow.
Finished Wolves eat Dogs last night. Arkady Renko is my favorite detective. He's so deeply flawed, and he always seems to lose, even when he wins.
Reading ASOIAF: Clash of Kings now, a tad more than halfway through the book.
Little past halfway through SK's Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Not in the right mind set at all for a short story collect.
Read the complete Sherlock Holmes stories. The first volume is fairly entertaining, but the works later than that are either phoned in or not written by Doyle at all. They were done clearly after he had had some success, so they are longer and dumber (no more need to self-edit and no fresh ideas).
Now reading another book on FDR by Doris Kearns Goodwin and Richard Norton Smith's book on Washington. The latter is much better.
