I'm currently reading The Voyage Of The Jerle Shannara Triology by Terry Brooks.
The author is a really good writer who does some books that are at times hard to
get into, but once you do you'll love his books. This triology like the rets of
the Shannara books are a must read for any fantasy fan.
I'm reading a book called 'Tensors, Relativity and Cosmology'. It's an excellent
book if you want to understand the math that's required for general relativity.
It doesn't leave out any of the steps, no matter how trivial other authors might
consider them. Of course, this is because it's meant as a companion text to a
full-blown GR course. Thus, while I honestly recommend it to anyone here, don't
expect to understand it without a few years of college-level mathematics and
physics under your belt...
The Possibility of Fireflies by Dominique Paul. Apparently it's being made into
a movie. It's a great book. Amazing character development. I was surprised to
find myself crying at the end. How much I ended up liking the book was
unexpected since I didn't expect much out of it's 200 and something
pages.
I'm hoping on reading that dragon trilogy. I think it's a trilogy. I do know
that the first two books are Eragon and Eldest.
Right now I'm kind of working on two. I am close to finishing B for Bandit by
Sue Grafton (a mystery novel - my kind
of novel), but then I ran into "The mystery of the Blue Train" (needs
actual english name translation) by Agatha Christie. I couldn't leave it out of
my hand. And tought I started ut yesterday (when I baught it) I am closer to
finishing it more then the previous one. Maybe because I'm used to Chritie's
writing stile (read 11 previous books by her). After I finish this one I think
I'll head back to B for Bandit (I heard it's better then A for Aliby - read that
oe too - and thought I only read the first half of it, I think it might be
true).
After that, I think I'll head back to something more ... japanese. I just got
RING 1 by Koji Suyuki and plan on reading it. I saw the movie, but after reading
RING 2 I noticed there was more to it then just what Holliywood had to offer. So
I got the book too. Think I'll be done with it all in about a week if I put my
mind to it. After that, who knows ... I'll just keep browsing book shops - and
hopefully find Crime in the Orient Express before my term finals.
(p.s. mystery and thriller are the tipes I fell most at ease with, plus I'm
starting to figure out who the killer is before I reach the end - at least with
Sue Grafton, Christie still surprises me with her endings [still not over the ed
in The Crime From Mesopotania)
currently re-reading Seeress of Kell, last book of The Mallorean by David
Eddings. I've lost count of how many times I re-read that series.
last read book, Confessor, last book of The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind.
It's very long, very wordy, but it's the last book. Borrowed from national
library, and I waited around 3 months to read this book. Glad to have a happy
ending!
I'm now reading The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander. About the
desaparecidos of Argentina. Very well-written, for a relative newcomer, is what
I could say for now.
I'm reading right now at this very moment Oedipus the King because I have to
write an essay on it... and I'm posting to take a break.
But really, I'm reading Orson Scott Card's Ender series. Well, I only have the
first three books in my posession, finished those, and am saving up some money
to buy the rest of the series...
But I love Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead.
Xenocide, while interesting in concept, drags on a bit and feels to forced.
On to the third book of Tales of Otori - Lian Hearn, which I need to buy when I
have time. Really good book and a best seller also. Can't wait to finish it!
I'm reading some specialist literature on horse training and a book called
"Generation doof" (generation stupid) which is about the flaws in
education nowadays
