Well, this had a slow start, but a great ending. I really liked it. I'll save the third for later.

Now for something completely different: Fred Saberhagen's Of Berserkers, Swords and Vampires, a collection of stories from his whole career.
The third one follows right after the second. I've only read the first four chapters so far.

Currently reading The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly. #4 in the fantastic Harry Bosch series. Only around 10% in so far, but enjoying it tremendously already.
I've read The Last Coyote and it was a very enjoyable read.

Just finished "The Tree of Life" available here....from our own DrPDL's wife, Elita Faith Daniels.

What struck me the strongest was her wonderful way with words.......she has a flowing, attention grabbing style. Her characters and surroundings came alive, and made me care about them.

Fantasy, elves, magic, learning to deal with your own demons, all play a part, and even if you think you might not enjoy such a genre, I would be willing to bet the writing style alone will draw you in and keep you interested. While it tends to lean a little towards the dark side at times, Elita always manages to lift the spirits at just the right time.....and give hope.

Well worth the read. The Amazon Kindle edition was formatted nicely, with working TOC's.

Here is her site:

http://elitadaniels.com/
I might have to give Tree of Life a go after reading your review. Well written.

I am currently reading Soul Music by terry Pratchett. It is #16 in the Discworld series.

Quote:
When her dear old Granddad — the Grim Reaper himself — goes missing, Susan takes over the family business. The progeny of Death's adopted daughter and his apprentice, she shows real talent for the trade. That is until a little string in her heart goes "twang."

With a head full of dreams and a pocketful of lint, Imp the Bard lands in Ankh-Morpork, yearning to become a rock star. Determined to devote his life to music, the unlucky fellow soon finds that all his dreams are coming true. Well almost.
This makes reference to some of the previous books in the series. So please do read Discworld in publication order. You will miss out a lot if you don't.

I'm finding this Gulliver of Mars quite tedious to be honest, I think I've had enough of a Mars that's just like Earth, with english speaking martians, trees, rivers and flowers! And the writing is headache stuff! Just get on with the story already-and its over 600 pages (tho realistically closer to 400)
I need a break, something different, might pick up some classic horror.
Don't bother with Dracula. It is rather dull. The writing style is not scary at all. It's a real sleeper (will put you to sleep).

Now for Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. I picked this up when it was cheap/free a while back. It looked interesting, and is the first in a series.
I've read Dead Witch Walking and rather enjoyed it. The characters are fun. And it ='s not full of teen angst/romance.

Y'know, it took me till I saw the animated TV version of Soul Music to get why people keep asking Imp, "Are you Elvish?"...

I enjoyed the Gothic mood it created. I found it rather creepy. Do read Dracula.

I agree. The scariness is in the atmosphere generated by the writing and the images described. Sure the writing style is a bit overblown - but it is great fun.

I've been reading mostly travel guides for the past month on vacation, but yesterday on a long rainy train ride from Budapest to Prague, I re-read Pratchett's Reaper Man. It is my favorite so far.

I believe the next one for me is Lords and Ladies.
