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

[ames]

Have been reading my way through Darren Shan's Demonata series (10 books total, at least thus far). They're relatively quick reads, being aimed at youth, but it's interesting putting the puzzle pieces together as you read through them and are given more information... I'm about to start book 8, can't wait to see how it ends!

I just finished The Eyre Affair! It was absolutely fantastic! I loved it so much, I immediately got on my Kindle and got the next book in the Thursday Next series Lost in a Good Book. I highly recommend these books-they are campy and hilarious!

They made me want a Dodo I also eat more toast while reading that series, the Toast Marketing Board would be pleased.

I almost fell out of bed this morning when I read the Toast Marketing Board was the sponsor of the tv interview! And I agree-dodos sound so cute!

I have heard that, yup ... am on the waiting list to get it from the local library, will let y'all know my opinion once I get my hands on it!

You'll be waiting forever, because the book isn't out until like September I think. And even then you still have the library to order it and get it in.

I can be a fairly patient person when I need to be.

I have Charles Stross's The Atrocity Archives and The Family Trade on order, as they're the first books of their respective series and I'd like to see whether I'm interested. I've enjoyed quite a lot of his books.
Also I have his Rule 34 (sequel to Halting State) on pre-order, looking forward to that.

I enjoyed that series! But then I've enjoyed all the Shannara books.

This series has been my introduction to Shannara. Which i think is good since its a prequel to the others.

I'm showing my age, but I've been reading them as they've been published. *rollseyes* I also enjoyed his Magic Kingdom books as well.

Well I'm taking a break from the 31st Century and the worlds of the Battletech universe.
And I've started to read the latest addition to the Black Library's Horus Heresy series.

It's called 'Age of Darkness' and is edited by Christian Dunn. As it is an anthology of short stories.
Inculding one by James Swallow called 'Liar's Due'.

A few older series in the fantasy section that I loved and remember so fondly....

Dragon Prince series by Melanie Rawn
Sword Singer series by Jennifer Roberson (sp?)
Chronicals of the Cheysuli by Jennifer Roberson

I really enjoyed the Dragon Prince series--haven't thought of them in years!

Last night I finished reading the first Foundation novel for the Idon'tknowhowmanyth time

I need to find more books to read. Been awhile since I've actually read anything. Really thinking I should read some of the Forgotten Realms books.

Oh, forgot...Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality, loved those
