Now Reading... (or Recently Finished)


Recommended Posts

Well... still in the middle of the first one... and OMG it's awsome and kinda creepy... I know he is releasiing a 4th in the 2nd series, one called "Shadow of the Giant"

The one I am reading now is very dark, and is occuring at the same time as "Enders Game" it deals mainly with "Bean" if you remember from "Enders Game" he was Enders 2nd (more or less) kind of his right hand.... like I said pooky stuff.

I just got done reading Fredrick Douglass' book, and Sojourner Truth's book. (for school)

I was reading the newest Janrae Frank high-fantasy novel, but she just finished a heavy rewrite, making the manuscript I was reading obsolete.

I am now starting The Many Faces of Van. Helsing antho, and F. Paul Wilson's The Keep.

i'm currently most of the way through "the world and other places" by jeannette winterson, whom i adore in all her english artsy dyke glory. her writing is incredibly vivid, and very sexy. i highly recommend "art and lies," though i also recommend skipping the first chapter in that book, as it's too slow for the rest of the story.

and i just started "threshold" by caitlyn kiernan yesterday. it's delightfully creepy, and also very english. she has a wierd tendancy to connect words, like quicksoft or snakehiss or glassgreen. they're effective, but sometimes distracting for their unusual qualities.

For the most part the chronicles suck and nothing convince me otherwise or so I thought . I decided to give Rice another chance and I'm reading Lasher and coming to the realization that the chronicles don't suck the writing stile does so ignoring that aspect should allow me to force concentration on the story.

We'll see

well... kiernan turned out to be pretty disappointing in the end. the story was great up until the last chapter... i really hate it when they do the whole Deus ex Machina schtick. such a copout.

just finished Neverwhere, by gaiman, last week. nice bit of humor in that one.

also read The Colour of Magic, by terry pratchett. it reminded me of reading him when i was younger, and a bit about the Death of Rats, the grim reaper for rats. i laughed aloud quite a few times.

now, i'm thinking i need a library trip.

Nothing now I had to stop reading Lasher it is interfering with my style.

Wile I understand that flashbacks can be an important tool for character development you just cant develop every one that way when you writing with time constraints in mind must be 100 minuts or less or in my current case 20. Oh well maby when I get full blown writers block I'll pick Rice back up

Reading Byzantium: The Decline and Fall by John Julius Norwich

Its the third one in a trilogy, doesn't read like a typical history book which is a bonus!! I definitly recomend it to anyone who has an interest in medieval history and doesn't want to be bored to death.
