    Default What are you currently reading?

    Hoping I'm not the only avid reader here.

    Currently busy with His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, halfway through Northern Lights.

    Also recently, for the second time, tried to read the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson, but while I was intrigued by Gardens of the Moon, I just could not get myself to finish Deadhouse Gates. The same thing happened about 2 years ago when I first started the series. I find the story to be immense and of great, interesting detail, but Erikson's writing just wearies me.

    Can't wait for A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin to be released on the 12th of July. Will buy that as soon as it hits the shelves.

    What are you reading?

    Just finished the latest Wilbur Smith, Those in Peril, much better than the previous novel by him but still only average.
    Been busy with the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan since the beginning of last year and currently on the 8th book. Wish I'd discovered it earlier.
    Will be reading the latest Terry Goodkind novel, "The Omen Machine" as soon as it hits the shelves, I think the Sword of truth series is the best I've read so far, even with the extremely long dialogues you need to work through from time to time.
    Also plan on taking a look at the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin after seeing the first few episodes of "Game of Thrones".

    I'm reading Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China. It's fascinating stuff, a look in to Chinese culture as it went through some serious changes. It autobiographically follows the story of three women from the same family over nearly 200 hundred years. From the warlord governments of the 1800's to the communist revolution and Chinese cultural revolution of the 1900's. Great historical insight with a human touch to keep it emotive and engaging.

    Raven, at the moment. Just finished Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles, and moving onto Giles Kristen's Raven series. Quite similar.
