I've heard really good things about Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch series. It's on my TBR list.

I have noticed that I am far less tolerant of books I don't like, now. Once I would have carried on with the series and maybe come to like it, but now I just write it off and move on. |

When someone says; "It doesn't start to get good until book two," I hear; "No need to pick up book one then." (not referring to any series in particular, here) Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-09-2012 at 04:09 PM. |

It's old age I guess - passing or approaching the mid way point and realising that one's remaining time is limited. That, or turning into a grumpy old fart. Or in my case both.

Alucarda,
have you tried out Sergeij Lukyanenko? His Night Watch series (available in English) is awesome. Best regards, Andy |
