kick his characters when they're down. The last bit I read was Liand becoming a hothead...

That was pretty nasty.

I started Against All Things Ending, but I don't think I have the energy for the whole guilt and desperation vibe I got from the first tens of pages. I may opt for something a little lighter.

Chaos and Order. I'd like to just note that I'd forgotten how much I love Hashi Lebwohl. Not as a person; a little amoral to really like him; but as a character. He is mesmerising. I sometimes pick This Day All Gods Die off the shelf and just read the first few Hashi chapters. ... Bah I feel a Gap ...

Finished The Crippled God . What a ride! Satisfying closure for many characters, although there are several loose ends that could have been addressed: - what happens to (some of) the gods? - where did Draconus go all of a sudden? - some Tehol/Bugg interaction - a bit more exposition on the backgroun...

Oh man Erikson can be a real bastard! In The Crippled God:

Finally, Mappo finds Icarium again...and is immediately killed without mercy by one of the &@%#^$* Forkrul Assail!

That was just harsh.

A bottle of good whiskey helps. Whiskey's waay too posh, it's vodka all the way. ;) Have advanced to A Dark and Hungry God Arises now. Unholy fragging bastich on a stick, the characters are sooo bloody messed up; Covenant turns into a light frolic upon the sunny meadows of Ponyville compared to thi...

Anticipation is rising.

The new Dream Theater cd and the new Anthrax cd. Both excellent!

Strapping Young Lad - The New Black

Why do I like heavy stuff more and more? I'm getting older fer chrissakes!

Nearing the end of Dust of Dreams and planning to continue straight away with The Crippled God. After that, I've had it with Erikson for a few years ;) oh...and since i'm reading iron council i have a whole new appreciation of your name!! :D right now i'm at the part just after the train goes thru ...

Lucimay, Bellis the main character of "The Scar" is fleeing New Crobuzon because all the people linked to Grimnebulin after the summer of nightmares are slowly disappearing after being questioned or detained by the government. That's about the only mention of him at all so far and I am ab...

LUCIMAY REALLY??? You didn't like it? WOW. I think that's the first time we have NOT agreed on a book. Friday night during some of the climactic parts I was reading voraciously and I went all the way two stops past my stop on the train before I realized it and had to get off and backtrack. Granted ...

You know, I vowed not to read anything in this series anymore until it is finished...but after reading this review I'm sorely tempted.

Finally started Erikson's Dust Of Dreams last week during my vacation. I like it so far, although I cannot remember the backstory of all the characters. Tehol keeps cracking me up.

Not for the faint-hearted.*






*Strapping Young Lad, Detox

There was already too much going on in the episode to add unneeded stuff. Everything happened at an almost incomprehensible rate.

And besides, there was Hodor with his full frontal nudity so no need to be disappointed

Listening to Way Station by Simak. I like it a lot so far, what a contrast with the modern Hamilton stuff.
