What book are you reading at the moment ?

[Johnatan56]

Finished Death's Gate (the 7 books).
Need something that isn't fiction, so trying out We the people - Juan Williams, was on the daily show and seemed interesting.

After that back to science fiction, got hold of some fan translations of sword art online chapters 14+ 15

 

[RazedInBlack]

Can also try Jack Campbell's (John G. Hemry's pseudonym) The Lost Fleet series.

Ah cool! Thanks

I was browsing Amazon at work just now an accidentally 1-clicked Game of Thrones 1 - 5. No biggie as I've only watch the series.... /opens kindle

Yeah I've had 2 goes at trying to read it (well busy with 2nd). Kept losing track of the plot (or more specifically where in the plot I am currently) so started making 1 sentence notes after each chapter lol

Don't judge a book by the missing comma on the cover.

 

[copacetic]

Don't judge a book my the missing comma on the cover.

That is the least of my worries. The *censored* who wrote the book, on the other hand...

It's Mafia God...no need for the comma.



Don God, what do you want from me?

Busy with Joe Haldeman - Forever War, someone recommended, so i replaced Dresden #1 with this, much more my style... Started with it on Friday evening, almost finished with the first one... will keep it as my side show book and read through all three... possibly (I change my mind too often to commit )

Another day or two with Dark Tower #5 to finish that up... enjoying it a lot more than #4

Banks is hit and miss, try the player of games, against a dark background or excessive.
