What're you all reading? After hearing it mentioned by Stork a whole bunch on the podcast I've just started Malazan Books of the Fallen, Gardens of The Moon.
And it's awesome so far, it's dark fantasy with a taste similar to The Black Company but even more Epic. And I love Epic. This shits my jam so far and I can't wait to dig further into the series!

I am about half-way through A Dance With Dragons, book 5 of the Game Of Thrones series. I'm also starting Thieves' World: First Blood, which is basically a reprint of the first two Thieves' World books... my ability to maintain focus on the GoT books is waning.

Funny you should ask, I have been wondering about trying to start up a book club thread for a while.
I just finished up The Martian and Ready Player One. Finishing up Armada now. Considering another run through the Dresden Files or Harry Potter soon, but I have the anniversary edition of American Gods waiting for me to tackle.
I'm also doing a cover-to-cover reread of the 1st Ed DMG.

I never got into the Game of Thrones books, but I watch the entire run of the show each time a new season is about to come out. . . . so there's that? I've heard good things about Republic of Thieves but don't know much about it at all.
I'm a big fan of Ready Player One, read it through twice and enjoyed it both times. The concept is just so good to me lol.
I Loved Leviathans Wake, although I loved the following books more lol. I have the newest one Nemesis Games on my list to read but haven't gotten to it yet. I'm waiting expectantly for the HBO series on this series to premier!!!!

I've been trying to cut through The Stand, I got to where the virus just is beginning to appear and the wierd guy who may or may not be the devil or merlin or elvis(?) has had like 1 chapter, and all he did was talk to himself on an open road or something. I have no idea. I should start that one back up lol.

I'm re-reading (for the millionth time) Linsner's Dawn comics. I swear that bastard just tells the same story 6 times, but I'll be damned if it doesn't hold my attention every single time. Also, it's one of the most 90s things ever; every page is like a metal band album cover. I miss 90s comic book art.

Im glad you like it! But you have been misinformed. I have never read those books. I have been promoting L.E Modesitt Jr Specifically the Saga of the Recluse But I have enjoyed all his books. His latest are The imager portfolioAnd I have stolen many ideas from The Corean Chronicles
