Reading Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. He seems to be the best when it comes to dark fantasy books. It's my first book by him after the first law trilogy.

My 100th book of the year .
"Dalek I Loved You" by Nick Griffiths. An enormously enjoyable (for me) account of growing up in 1970s Britain as a fan of the BBC SF series "Doctor Who". Very nostalgic and hugely enjoyable. |

I'm alternating classics and literature on one hand, along with happy trashy bestsellers on the other hand.
I just finished "Stolen Prey," by John Sandford, an enjoyable first-rate trashy novel. If you like a quick read with little (if any) character development and lots of action, then I can recommend this one. Don |

I've read several davenport novels and while they do get better IMO, I just did not like Davenport at all in the first one Helen |

Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear. Fantasy is not my genre, but I've been looking for a work to my tastes. Hopefully this is it.
A friend is astonished I've never "even" read LotR. He showed me the movie and I watched, but didn't have the heart to tell him I was bored to tears. Last edited by FacebookVirus; 11-12-2013 at 09:48 PM. |

But you might well be bored to tears by the book as well. It's not to everyone's taste. |
