What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?
Haha, it usually means it takes longer, although in the Malazan case, perhaps not. :D (That said, despite my intentions, it's always harder to skim even the boring bits than I think it's going to be, and both here and in MT I have read more of them than I intended.) Anyway, I'm abut 350 pages in so ...

First read: Deadhouse Gates. Book 2
Black Company is in my top 10 of series. You can feel the resemblance in the writing by Erikson. A long way to go to finish this series then I think I will revisit the Black Company. Hmmm, sounds like I should look for it. :D Seen it referenced here before but never read (or even seen) any of them....

Malazan Issues [And Stuff] (Spoilers)
I feel the Forkrul are a bit inconsistent...on the one hand, they're like this indomitable force that everybody is terrified of, on the other, plenty of them get killed / defeated / etc. over the course of the books. The Liosan are just plain annoyingly self-righteous for the most part. L'oric seems...

What are you reading in general?
Currently reading a book set in the western U.S. circa rhe year 1867, involving cattle drivers hoping to soon settle down and make better lives for themselves and their loved ones. It's called The Daybreakers , by Louis L'Amour. Sigh. :D OK. :D My dad was a huge western fan, and I basically grew up...

What Do You Think Today?
Of course any ideology (for want of a better word) is going to produce its militant adherents. I also think that the "current" generation feels frustrated by the (from their perspective) pace of social change / acceptance etc. being unable to take into account (for example) how long it too...

What Do You Think Today?
Should I self censor insofar as making a pretence at interest, because this might be of key interest, even importance, to the person? Or should I be honest and just make it plain, the moment the subject arises, that it's not something that I understand or attach any importance to. I mean, personall...

What Do You Think Today?
But that isn't why I'm here today; I have a different topic in mind - that of self censorship and how it effects our discourse. Hmmm, differing perspectives. :D I think of it as knowing one's audience rather than censoring oneself. I have long been of the opinion that it is possible to say almost a...

Anyway, started The Bonehunters today, another great one.

Malazan Issues [And Stuff] (Spoilers)
Prob about 1/4 way through MoT, as always I end up skimming far less than I intend to, but still pretty happy jumping through stuff like Udinaas and the Wyveral story line, (at least until Ruin shows up), and a lot of the Edur stuff, although some bits, like Trull and the Jheck, and Rhulad's "e...

Esselmont: Path To Ascendancy
Well I will be re-reading them again soon, (which I guess will be the 4th time according to the previous post, but also I don't know if anybody has mentioned there is a 4th of these out now (already for some time), Forge of the High Mage which if I recall is more about Tayshrenn. Guess I need to be ...

I also like that style of switching points of view and telling the story over and over again from each one. (The only time I can think of offhand that I have seen it done well in film was Tarentino's Jacky Brown and for a change I actually think he under did something...I would have liked more of th...

What Do You Think Today?
This time it appears to have been the other way around Av. Must say I long since stopped keeping up with the details. Of course, a significant faction of Hamas is probably still invested in the most overwrought Israeli response possible, which as you say, Netenyahu seems bound on producing, so not ...
