Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Discussion/Appreciation Anyone..??

Dietz... Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.
I enjoyed reading his 'Sam McCade' series... which I have somewhere at home.

Dietz benefits from being the author of the first sci-fi book I read as a kid, "Drifters Run" (which was also the first book in english that I read).

Cool.
I have read all the 'Drifter's' books. In fact I have a fair few of his books.

Finished reading "When Duty Calls" by Diets, good book over all if you like reading Dietz's work. My only gripe is that I feel like he uses exclamation marks a bit to much!

I've just started reading "The Puppet Masters" by Robert Heinlein.

[WingedPegasus]

Anyone read "Neverwhere"?

[Wyrminarrd]

Has everyone here stopped reading in the past few weeks?

I finished reading "The puppet Masters" by Heinlein, good book and well worth reading though it pays to remember that the book is about fifty years old and does reflect that.

I also read "Marsbound" by Joe Haldeman. The book was ok but a bit dry and unexciting imo.

Another book I've read since my last post was "The broken Kingdoms" by N.K. Jemisin. This is the second book in the Inheritance trilogy (the first one is "The hundred thousand Kingdoms") and over all I'd say that this book is better than the first.

Currently I'm reading "The Wise mans Fear" by Patrick Ruthfoss which is the sequel to "The Name of the Wind".

Hi all.
I've just started reading another compilation of short stories.
Edited by Esther Friesner called 'Fangs for the Mammaries' or Vampires in the Suburbs...
But nothing like 'Twilight'.

I was reading a lot of non scieince fiction books for a bit.

Just started Hidden Warrior today.

I'm not reading Sci-Fi right now...reading Colleen McCullough's "Song of Troy" right now. I love history!

Just finished Draconia: Forging Trust by F.J. Hansen (a.k.a. McClance).

Loved the story, even if it stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit in places. The editing wasn't as good as I tend to expect from books either, there were a few typos and some odd syntax (and I'm not talking about the Draconians' intentionally odd syntax), not to mention some unnecessarily complex sentence structures where simpler ones would do as well.

But I think the series has a lot of potential.

I just finished Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet: Dreadnaught and I'm almost done with the Pattern Master by Octavia Butler.

I'm not reading Sci-Fi right now...reading Colleen McCullough's "Song of Troy" right now. I love history!

Are you sure you don't mean fiction?

I just started The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly

[Starfist]

I've just started to read one of my many 'Battletech' novels.
'Wolve's on the Border' by Robert Charette.

[Fandom Addict]

I'm re-reading Harry Potter again. So far I'm up to the Goblet of Fire.

AHH! I've got to get around to doing that before the last movie comes out.
