You and Danlo will both be done with that book by the time the group read tackles chapters 3 & 4!

Okay! Finished Clash of Kings!! Sooooo looking forward to Storm of Swords!!!

Now to find an extra nine dollars...grrrrr....

Everything else is on hold for me -- I finally got my hands on Martin's The Arms of the Kraken!

Well, who has a keener eye than the crow? After every battle the crows come in their hundreds and thousands to feast upon the fallen. A crow can espy death from afar. And I say that all of Westeros is dying. Those who follow me will feast until the end of their days.

Finished A Storm of Swords last night. There was more action in 2 chapters in that book than in 2 books of Jordan!

Dutchess - I see your point about throwing the book around in anger.

Well, I finished Fall of Hyperion, the Sandman comic book, and Lord of Light. I am now reading C. S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces, which is pretty good so far!

Well, I finished up Till We Have Faces, am going to read a book by David Brin next. It's called Glory Season, and was recommended to me by Lord Danlo, so I'm pretty sure I will find it a very good read.

I have just started reading "Inversions" by Iain M. Banks. So far I have not gotten a handle on what it actually is about, but it is very good for all that.

For lighter stuff I am currently rereading "The War God's Own" by David Weber. It is fantasy, unlike most of his other stuff but it is quite good if you are looking for a little lighter militaristic fantasy with some magic thrown in.

I'm now reading Dune Messiah, having finished Dune this week.

Still rereading Watership Down. Not a children's book at all.

Posted: **Sun Mar 30, 2003 5:35 pm**

Just started A.A. Attansio's "Last Legends of Earth". Reminds me a bit of Neverness but so far I'm only about 50 pages in. Very cerebral stuff!

I am currently reading Ursula LeGuin's The Other Wind, having raced through the previous books of the Earthsea series.

Though, I have to say, it took me a very long time to get into A wizard of Earthsea. The book just didn't grab me till I was at least halfway through it...after which I was definitely addicted.

Watership Down, Watership Down! What a great book! Long live Fiver!

(Yeah, I know, a little extreme, but I've been wanting to use that graemilin for the longest time!)

Bannor, that is a good book! Didn't you tell me that there is now a sequel, too? I had never heard of the second book before...is it as good as the first??

Posted: **Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:21 pm**

More Tales from Watership Down is excellent, but not nearly as good as the first. Have you read Watership Down?

Posted: **Tue Apr 01, 2003 5:39 pm**

Yes, I have, and I think it's a wonderful book!

Posted: **Wed Apr 02, 2003 2:38 am**

My admiration level for you just went up significantly! (It was already high!) It's so refreshing to find some Watership Down fans!

Just finished the Chrons amd then Mordant's Need. Everyone here seems to really love The Gap, so that's next on my agenda, but I needed a break before I dive into something that (reputedly) dark. So right now I'm reading Deryni Checkmate by Katherin Kurtz for about the twentieth time. Just some nice simple religious persecution and genocide.

Deep in the heart of ASOS! VEEEEERY HAPPY!!!!!!!
