Briar King Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just finished The Lies of Locke Lamora. I really liked it! It took a while to get used to the viewpoint though (third person cinematic? I'm not even sure), I'm so used to reading third person limited or first person. Also, the real life quotes in between parts kind of took me out of the story... Nitpicking, I know, but I don't really understand why they are there... I'll continue reading the series for sure! 1st was a huge treat. 2 is really good though not on the lvl as 1. 3 I just down right hated so so much sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoAjah Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Lies of Locke of Lamora is one book that is crying out for a TV adaptation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Finished reading Blood of Tyrants (Temeraire #8) today and made it more than halfway through Codex Alera #6... Murphy's Law seems applicable right about now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just reread the Mistborn trilogy, with pauses between books to read relevant SH portions. Then read all Wax and Wayne books so far. Now reading Joe Simon's autobiography. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Read Naomi Novik's Uprooted today and thought it was totally awesome. Starting Soldier by Julie Kagawa next (book 3 in her Talon series). Update: finished Soldier today. Curse Julie Kagawa and her heartbreaking cliffhanger endings!!

Eki Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I finished Uprooted yesterday as well, and enjoyed it too. I wasn't overly interested in Temeraire before, but I might give it a shot. I think those books are pretty different, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zea mays Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams was as much fun as remembered. Also listened to The Ocean at the end of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (read by the author) which was quite sweet but also sad. Maybe I should check out Uprooted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I've been reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab all day today. ~80% done at this point and I've quite liked it so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Currently working on The Hunt for Red October, and I have Dragon and Thief set aside (from Timothy Zahn) next, and I'm also rereading the Eragon series, intending to actually finish it this time. jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashadar Mistborn Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I just finished rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen. The last couple of chapters in The Crippled God hit me like a hammer every time. I know that it has its critics, for understandable reasons, but I love that series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Read the first two books in the Vampire Empire series today: The Greyfriar and The Rift Walker. I saw the reveal about the Greyfriar coming pretty early on in the first book, but that didn't make it any less awesome. The betrayals in book 2 surprised me much more. Diving into the 3rd and final book tomorrow--The Kingmakers. (Though apparently there is a sequel/spinoff series set in this 'verse as well.) Thanks, Elodin, for alerting me to the "Hide" button to fix my accidental double-post. Edited May 25, 2016 by Sunbird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiosity Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Now I finally know why the Foundation trilogy is regarded the way it is. I love the epic feel and the changing perspective of the Foundation over the centuries. That, added to the fact that there is still a question of whether they're going to succeed over the years, makes a really enjoyable story. I'm also in the middle of the Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a well told story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I finished Otherland book one! It was very good, slightly different than I thought it was going to be like, but still good. It took me a really long time to finish it, so I'm not sure if I want to keep reading the series. I was pretty satisfied with it as a single story, and am not really feeling compelled to continue. I'm not really sure what I'll read next, so I'll post again when I've gotten into a new book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first book is good, but it only gets better from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patar Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) So I love superheros, but when it comes to comics, I'm a bit of a newbie. I've wanted to start getting into comics for a long time, and I have heard some great things about DC's New 52. But upon doing some research on it... it's massive. Is there any one place that I should start? Anyone want to give me some advice on a guide/order to read it?

The key to reading comics is to disbelieve that you need to read everything in its entirety and to have a handy library nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Or just read Watchmen, or Preacher. That's about my personal experience with western comics. I recommend both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I thought Otherland was the best. They dip in quality with each but bk 2 is still good. They just can't stay on bk1 lvl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
