Wow that truly sucks. I never did get beyond a handful of chapters in The Wheel of Time, but I empathize with the fans. -- H

Re: Garderns of the Moon - just 100 pages into it, I understand an expected the story to be confusing at first. As you guys said, it takes a while to get into the world, and you pretty much dropped into the middle of events with little for exposition. That is fine, I trust everything will gel...

Well, after 2 months of vicious GRR Martin withdrawal, I finally distanced myself enough from ASoIaF to pick up Erickson's Gardens of the Moon, which is supposed to be just as good. We will see... -- H

Ah fun book, I read it in high school. Would make an excellent movie in the right hands, I think. -- H

Done with A Storm of Swords. I will comment later, need time to digest it... I spent the good part of the weekend tearing thru the second half, barely stopping for primary needs :D. While I was gonna get A Feast for Crows anyway, I was so thrilled that the preview chapter added to ASoS was a...

James, Adam, is it safe for me to read those spoilers? -- H

About a third of the way thru A Storm of Swords: Catelyn - Robb actually. Christ man, you are a king, you can have any ass you want in the kingdom, if you want to boink the Westerling girl, do so, don't marry her... that's what happens when there are no dudes around to counsel you ;). When...

A Clash of Kings - Book 2 of GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire. Wowsers. I can't decide if it's better than A Game of Thrones, what is certain is the excellence of both. This series is something of a singular experience for me, since it's my foray into an epic of this size with no clear end...

I finally got thru A Game of Thrones, the first volume of G.R.R Martin's epic A Song of Fire and Ice. At 850+ pages, it certainly took me a couple of weeks. Much like Harry Potter, I was only able to get into this work because it bears little ressemblance to anything Tolkien. I frankly hate...

There was a book sale this weekend at a local library, $1 for hardcovers, $0.5for paperbacks... A goldmine for fans Grisham, Ludlum, Crichton, Koontz, Roberts, Sheldon and other pulp novelists (not a fan). I did manage to score about 10 Stephen King novels, some of which I already read but...

I hope it's OK to ask for recommendations here rather than starting a new thread: I need suggestions for two novels set in Japan... one in the feudal era (beside Shogun), one contemporary. Stuff that might be of interest to a tourist (no ponderous introspection and existentialist meditations ;)...

Classic :D. Soundjata* was required reading in Junior high, I would say just about everywhere in West Africa. I sorta figured you were taking an African Lit class or some such. I recommend this rousing epic to anyone willing to expand their horizons a bit. It's a short and easy read. (*)...

Whoa Adam, this is the last book I expected to find in this thread (or HTF for that matter). Whatever made you read this? School? I am very interested in your assessement, good or bad. I mentioned it here a couple of years ago: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...ta#post1836541 -- H

Heard of Sacred Games, by Vikram Chandra, on the radio this morning, sounds interesting, but according to one of the editorial reviews above, the intimidating length might not be entirely justifed. Waiting to hear more I guess... -- H
