I won't have much time for 'real' reading, so most of mine will be audiobooks while I work.. And I definitely won't hit 100 books..
1. Douglas Niles & Mary Kirchoff - Dragonlance Preludes volume 5: Flint The King (Audiobook) 3/5. -Fantasy. Only for people that have read the Dragonlance Chronicles first. Light reading, but I really like the world.. 2. Barbara & Scott Siegel - Dragonlance Preludes volume 6: Tanis, The Shadow Years (Audiobook) 3/5. -Same as above. 3. Margaret Weis - Raistlin Chronicles: The Soulforge (Audiobook) 5/5. -Same as above. 4. Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash. 3/5 -Science fiction, although it covers a lot of genres.. It was okay. Had a bit of a hard time following all the plots sometimes. 5. Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickmann - Dragonlance: The Chaos War (Audiobook) 5/5. -One of my favorites.. 6. Philip Pullman - The Golden Compass. 4/5. -A nice audiobook, but a bit slow at times. But it has some elements that I really liked, and as an Audiobook it is one of the best productions I've heard. The author himself read it, and they had the best actors to speak the characters I've ever heard. 7. Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl. 3/5 - A bit weird book, and definitely for the younger readers I would say. Set in a world which is somewhat different from your normal fantasy book world, but I'm not really sure I like it. He basically takes faires, dwarfs, trolls, give them high tech technology, puts them in the earths core, and says humans know nothing about them, even though they mingle with humans/surface dwellers all the time. I'll try the next book and see if I like it, but I'm a bit pessimistic, since it doesn't really mix well in my opinion.. Last edited by David Munch; 03-25-2011 at 04:29 AM. |

Here are my 2011 books. My rating system works like this: = the book is a turd, avoid at all costs = not sure what to make of it = okay book = good book, recommended = great book, highly recommended = reading in progress Click on the book's title in bold to be redirected to the relevant page on your favorite evil book distributor's site. ------------------------------ #001 - - Isaac Asimov - Gold 338 pages An excellent read and a page-turner, as always with anything Asimov. If you're an aspirant writer, the second half of the book will give you great advices to get your started - Jan 1, 2011 ISBN: 978-0061054099 #002 - - Mark Twain - The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories 110 pages Great, deceptively simple stories; Mark Twain is the master of irony - Jan 1, 2011 ISBN: 978-1438533827 #003 - - Hunter S. Thompson - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream 143 pages A fantastic book that chronicles the demotion of the purposeful hippie drug usage into senseless hard drug binging at the end of the sixties, and the death of the American dream. A unique story written in H.S. Thompson's inimitable gonzo style - Jan 2, 2011 ISBN: 978-0679785897 #004 - - Iain M. Banks - Transition 399 pages A great novel, but harder to get into than most Iain M. Banks (SF) books. The several intertwined stories are a bit disconnected, and the various narrators aren't clearly identifiable, but all these sub-plots converge to create a great ending. In short, you'll have to work to enjoy the last 50 pages - Jan 4, 2011 ISBN: 978-0316071994 ------------------------------ ... continued in post #2 Last edited by Fastolfe; 01-15-2011 at 05:49 PM. |

VANDY's Books Read in 2011
Hello, All.
What a wonderful Idea to have a book reading challenge for 2011. I'm certainly excited about participating and will use this post to keep track of the books I've read. I am going to use Fastolfe's rating system as I believe it to be quite nice and graphically informative. The rating system is shown below. = the book is a turd, avoid at all costs = not sure what to make of it = okay book = good book, recommended = great book, highly recommended = reading in progress Further, I am going to use a modification of wcherrybomb's method of detailing the books I've read. On to the list... Book #1 Rating: Title: 1632 Author: Eric Flint Pages: 504 Genre: Science Fiction Review: Outstanding book! One of the best SciFi reads I've enjoyed in years. Mr. Flint is an excellent author and has a writing style that paints vivid mind pictures. I found myself drawn into the story and becoming one of the players. I highly recommend this book. Book #2 Rating: Title: Hero (The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 6) Author: Cheryl Brooks Pages: 365 Genre: Science Fiction Romance (Mature) Review: Even though I'm an "old fart", I've got to admit this is the first time I've read a Science Fiction Romance book. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Brooks approach to her subject matter and even found the explicit parts interesting to read. It certainly makes one wonder what alien sex life might be like... I would certainly recommend this good book. Book #3 Rating: Title: 1633 Author: Eric Flint Pages: 608 Genre: Science Fiction Review: As I finish and / or start more books, I'll edit this post. Good reading to all! Regards, |

Books read in 2011: (Moved over from Social Groups)
Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson - Similar to the True Blood series, girl dies, turns into vampire, finds out she has vampire super powers, becomes vampire queen. It was a fun read and I will read more in the series for a good, lighthearted read. Orchid Beach by Stuart Woods - Murder mystery. Female officer retires from Army after failed sexual harassment case, joins police force in Orchid Beach where she works to solve the mystery of who shot the Chief the day she arrives into town. Waiting for second book in series to be available from library. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith - Classic book with a twist. Hard to read with the colloquial language structure but lots of fun when you include zombies. Never read the original but this version was a good read. Portal by Imogen Rose - Girl wakes up thinking she is one person but the life she wakes up into is totally different. An intriguing book that kept me turning pages late into the night. She is an indie author and I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Elvis and the Dearly Departed by Peggy Webb - Elvis has been reincarnated as a Hound Dog and is owned by a hairdresser who also does hair for the departed. A body goes missing and she and a cousin have many adventures trying to find the body and the stuff that happens afterwards. Another lighthearted murder mystery. I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Steig Larsson - 2nd book in "The Girl Who" series. Honestly, I liked the first one better. This one took awhile for me to get into the plot. Basic plot - Man is hired by Millennium magazine to publish a book on the sex trade that his girlfriend has been researching. Man and his girlfriend are killed along with Lisbeth Salandar's appointed guardian. Lots of twists and turns. Speak No Evil by Allison Brennan - Psycho killer on the loose in San Diego. A man is kidnapping women and killing them. They are found with a gag glued to their mouth. Cop and sheriff/brother of a suspect look for the killer. Pretty formulaic murder mystery but was still a good read. Books in Progress: Pocket Peace by Allen Lokos Total Control by David Badacci Official Book Club by Kathy Griffin Beer - Tap into the Art and Science of Brewing by Charles Bamforth To be read The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larson Huckleberry Finished by Livia Washburn The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks True Magick by Amber K Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot The Book of Wisdom by Osho The Perfect Woman by James Andrus |

Books finished in 2011
my list so far: I'll update it everytime I finish a book.
color indication: - navy: bad/normal book. - red: worth reading. 1/ Deception Point *: re-read. author: Dan Brown * paperback edtion. 2/ The Lost Symbol author: Dan Brown rate it 2/5. 3/ Demon Girl author: Penelope Fletcher rate it 1/5. 4/ La prochaine fois (in Vietnamese) author: Marc Levy 5/ Casino Royale: book no. 1 author: Ian Fleming 6/ Live and Let Die: book no. 2 author: Ian Fleming rate it 3/5. 7/ After the Kiss (in Vietnamese) author: Karen Ranney rate it 3/5. 8/ L'encyclopédie des cancres : Des rebelles et autres génies ** (in Vietnamese) author: Jean-Bernard Pouy, Serge Bloch, Anne Blanchard rate it 2/5. ** hardback, special edition. 9/ My beloved (in Vietnamese) author: Karen Ranney 10/ A stranger in the mirror (in Vietnamese) author: Sidney Sheldon 11/ Toutes ces choses qu'on ne s'est pas dites (All those things we never said) author: Marc Levy 12/ Tuck Everlasting author: Natalie Babbitt Rate it 5/5 for an easy-to-read children book. 13/ S@motność w Sieci (Lonliness on the Net) author: Janusz Leon Wiśniewski I wasn't seriously reading this, so can't say anything about it. 14/ Godfather * (translation) author: Mario Puzo * a paperback edition. 15 - 18/ His Dark Materials series, including:
19 -> 21/ Immortal Sheikh series trilogy including: Lord of the desert, Vampire Sheikh and Shadow of the Sheikh. author: Nina Bruhns 22/ Beastly author: Alex Flinn 3/5. 23 -> 27/ the Riyria Revelations series, including:
28/ A kiss in time author: Alex Flinn Rate it 2/5. 29/ The Princess Bride author: William Goldman The book is hilarious. Wonderful. I LOVE IT. I'll be generous on this: I give it 5/5. 30/ Three nights of sin author: Anne Mallory What a waste of time. 1/5. 31/ Không bao giờ là cuối * (roughly translated: "Never the last") author: Xuân Quỳnh This is a poetry, including many poems all well-known and un-known ones by Xuân Quỳnh, a favorite Vietnamese poet of mine. I rate this 3.5/5. * this is a paperback edition. 32/ The Name of The Wind author: Patrick Rothfuss 33-35/ Hunger Games series, containing:
36/ The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles, #1) author: Rick Riordan I'm not impressed. 37/ The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus, #1) author: Rick Riordan. 38/ The Book Thief author: Markus Zusak It's a terrific book. 39/ The Wise Man's Fear author: Patrick Rothfuss The series does improve, I think this book is better than its prequel. 40-43/ The Mortal Instruments series, including:
On "City of Fallen Angels": I read this just because I'd read the 3 books before it. Boring plots, but supported by a touch of humor now and then, it wasn't too bad. 44-50/ The Chronicles of Narnia, including:
On "The Voyage of Dawn Treader": Spoiler:
51-55/ Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, including:
56/ Red Riding Hood authors: Sarah Blakely-Cartwright (and someone else whose name I forget) Spoiler:
57/ Water for Elephants author: Sarah Gruen 58/ A Game of Thrones author: George R. R. Martin It's a very complicated series, which hasn't been finished, by the way. 2/5. More info on the whole series in the "talk to me about Game of Thrones" thread. 59/ From Russia with Love, book no. 3 author: Ian Fleming An interesting book I'm not into espionage but it's readable, almost as good as Casino Royale. 3/5. 60/ Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde author: Robert Louis Stevenson No I didn't like it enough to finish it, and I'm sure I'll never come back to give it another go. Can't understand why it's considered classic. 1/5. 61/ Storm Front author: Jim Butcher The first book wasn't impressive as its praises. I'm reluctant to continue with Dresden Files. 1/5. 62/ Monster Hunter International author: Larry Correia After several boring ones I finally picked up MHI and was very satisfied. 4/5. 63/ Monster Hunter Vendetta author: Larry Correia After MHI, I simply had to read MHV. A great book for leisure reading. 64 - 66/ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory + Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator + Fantastic Mr. Fox author: Roald Dahl, illustrator: Quentin Blake 67/ The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy author: Douglas Adams 68/ The Restaurant At The End of The Universe author: Douglas Adams 69/ Life, The Universe and Everything author: Douglas Adams 70/ The Color of Magic (Discworld 1) author: Terry Pratchett I finished this book but knew next to nothing about the inside jokes, which made up 90% of its success. I think I would reread when I finish Jordan's books. 71/ Stardust author: Neil Gaiman 72/ The Alchemist author: Paulo Coelho 73/ Night Watch author: Sergei Lukyanenko 74/ The Shadow of the Wind author: Carlos Ruiz Zafón 75/ Lịch sử thế giới cận đại * (roughly translated as, "Modern History of the world") author: Vũ Dương Ninh, Nguyễn Văn Hồng * paperback 76/ The Picture of Dorian Gray author: Oscar Wilde 77/ I, Robot author: Isaac Asimov 78/ Monster Hunter Alpha author: Larry Correia 79/ To Kill A Mockingbird author: Harper Lee 80/ City of Ember author: Jeanne DuPrau 81/ Vang bóng một thời* (in Vietnamese) author: Nguyễn Tuân It has 18 short stories written in 1940 (that was before we gained Independence from France, so the author wasn't influenced by the revolution's ideology as he was later on), by one of the biggest names in Vietnamese literature. He was famous for his unique and impressive wording, and his various inventions of extraordinary new words. * paperback 82/ Inkheart* author: Cornelia Funke * borrowed from Blues. 83/ Lord of the Flies* author: William Golding * library, hardback 84/ Breakfast at Tiffany's* author: Truman Capote * library, hardback 85/ The Gargoyle* author: Andrew Davidson * paperback, translation. 86/ The Hobbit author: J. R. R. Tolkien 87/ The Son of Neptune (Heroes of Olympus, #2) author: Rick Riordan 88/ Seriously...I'm Kidding author: Ellen DeGeneres 89/ A Christmas Carol author: Charles Dickens 90/ Principles of Economics * author: N. Gregory Mankiw * paperback translation 91/ One Day author: David Nicholls HALT: So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish by Douglas Adams (just begun) Luka and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie Émile, ou de l'Éducation by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (hardback, translation.) STILL READING BY THE END OF 2011: A Tale of 2 Cities by Charles Dickens; and Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville. Final words: So it was 91/100. But I'm satisfied, because we had to read likecrazy at school, so 91% is acceptable. Last edited by maianhvk; 01-01-2012 at 12:31 PM. Reason: The final list! |

As of Dec. 27, I am less than half way through Drood. I expect to finish it by New Years, but I probably won't start anything else until New Years Day. I made it through 58 books, with a five month period where I only read three books. Not counting those five months, I averaged 8 books a month. I think I shall try again next year and hopefully won't spend five months with my brain addled. Last edited by RolandD; 12-28-2011 at 12:26 AM. Reason: update |

1. Rilla Of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery I re-read the whole Anne of green gables series and found them as enjoyable as ever
2. Child of the Northern Spring by Persia Woolley I got this ebook for free from b&n free fridays. The beginning and the middle were very well written but kind of petered out towards the end. 3. Bright Dark Madonna by Elizabeth Cunningham The third book in a series about Mary Magdalen. Very enjoyable with a very feminist slant. 4. The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett Entertaining but a bit disjointed towards the end. 5. The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett very enjoyable! I can't wait to read more discworld. 6. Pyramids by Terry Pratchett 7. Mort by Terry Pratchett 8. Beyond Belief: The secret gospel of Thomas by Elaine Pagels 9. Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett 10. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder Very enjoyable 11. Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder 12. Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder Not as good as the first in the series. Last edited by jessicalynn; 02-13-2011 at 01:07 PM. |
