    Finished reading "The Player of Games" by Ian M. Banks. Great book, it started a bit slow but once it got going it had me hooked.

    Haven't decided what to read next though the third Dresden files book is a likely contender.

        That is a very good book. And the second Honor Harrington novel.

          I liked Basilisk, but I really like this one more.

            There are some scenes in Honor of the Queen that bought tears to my eyes. There are also some interesting scenes.

              There have been a couple that have done that to me too.

                Tell me, when a new Honor Harrington novel comes out, does it still include a CD-ROM with PDFs of all the previous novels in the series?

                Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
                And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

                  I think they do. But it depends on the print run. I did get a CD-Rom when I purchased 'Mission of Honor' but I'm not sure if I got one when I purchased the latest Honor Harrington tale. I'll have to check when I'm at home.

                      Currently I'm finishing off Mort by Terry Pratchett. After that, a good friend of mine has loaned me her copy of A Game of Thrones. She's been on me about reading it for ages now, and I've finally given in after months of resisting. Who knows, I might even like it!

                        Decided to read "Spellwright" which is the first book in the Spellwright trilogy by Blake Charlton. I've never read anything by this author before but I´m about 60 pages in and so far so good.

                          I know you used to be able to read some of the novels on line in their entirety, but I don't think that website exists any more

                              Anybody else into S.M. Stirling?

                              I'm a huge fan of his Nantucket Trilogy - "Island in the Sea of Time", "Against the Tide of Years", and "On the Oceans of Eternity" - and the subsequent Emberverse series, beginning with "Dies the Fire".

                                Haven't read any Stirling.

                                Just finished re-reading Job: A Comedy of Justice by Heinlein.
