This thread deserves a bump.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I should read the Engineer Trilogy or Song of Ice and Fire next

*writes down Engineer Trilogy*

A Song of Ice and Fire is a very good series, in my opinion, so I would recommend it. But you're in no rush. You can read it in 10 years when the series is finished.

Reading the second Book of the Game of Thrones series currently.

Actually I was about to read all Sharpe's Books but 5 books are less than 40 (?).

"Dune", I got lost in the first few chapters so I'm gonna start over :{ and "Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance"

Haven't heard of the Engineer Trilogy but I decided to take a crack at the Ice and Fire series. Was surprised how much time I sank into them. Went out of town for a week, blazed through the first book in like 4 days and in the last 3 days I had polished off 850ish pages on the Second Book.

It's awesome how much difference in the story and the characters between the TV show and the Book itself, of course, any fan will tell you that, but it's also nice after watching the TV show to have an image in your head for the characters there in the story--as well as an image you make for the characters you haven't seen or don't remember from the TV show.



I would definitely recommend it, and I hardly ever read anything, I was just surprised that with 2-3 hours of reading on vacation a day that I dived that deeply into these novels.

Personally, I think that unless someone lights a fire under Martins ass the series will have to end before he finishes his books.

I bought Mona Lisa Overdrive by Gibson yesterday and Moving Pictures by Pratchett. On the basis that I haven't read them and Pratchett after 15 or so books has not failed me once in making me laugh and I've heard lots of good things about Mona Lisa Overdrive and it's Gibson after all.

I think that if that little bitch doesnt hurry up he will probably die long before finishing his last book.


Im reading "House of Chains" from the "Malazan book of the fallen" Series by Steven Erikson right now.Love it, I can reccomend the whole series to anyone!Its far better than even "Song of Ice and fire".Compared to Erikson Martin looks like a child playing with a keyboard.

Just finished Les Enfants terribles de Jean Cocteau..

I'm reading "Cloud Atlas". Very good so far, but no fantasy or sci-fi or historical fiction so I doubt many of you would like it.

[Anal Bleeding]

the engineer trilogy first book is good, but I can't find the second or third books.
the fencer trilogy is pretty good by the same author.

Funnily enough, I got Daughter of The Empire for my 12(?) birthday and ive read it dozens of times. I also read the next two in the series. It tells the story of the "Alien Invaders" who attack in Magician.

I read those books 20 yrs before I ever read Magician so when I did finally get round to reading it, I had a different perspective than most first time readers lol.

[Ninja_Khorin]

Bump! And I enjoyed Daughter of the Empire almost more than Magician. But Magician is good too. The series degrades a lot later on.

Currently reading Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. Alright, but fairly basic fantasy. Don't mind, though because it's all about ninjas.

Recently I've read:
Pyramids by Terry Pratchett
Singularity Sky
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? <----- Really enjoy this one
And some more, I can't remember right now.

[Malaclypse]

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. I started reading it once before, years back, but didn't really grok it at the time.
