What Are You Reading?

I'm so glad you said that, since I thought it was just me. I would re-read it, get so many books in, trying to build up to the next new one, and just lose interest.

I get trying to evolve a person's character to take into account things that have happened, but don't completely change the character of the person who got you interested in the series in the first place!

It's a shame, because I really did like the books when I first started in on them.

I'm about 90% through Good Omens now and looking forward to see how it ends. They've found the Antichrist but he doesn't seem to be cooperating ...

I slowly faded away from the Dresden series because of that, but I thought perhaps I was seeing things that weren't there ... and it didn't seem to be just Harry with the increasing baggage.

Still waiting on the most recent book.... It's been in final edit for months.

I really enjoyed the series at first, but in the more recent books Harry has so much baggage it takes the fun out of them.

Just noticed I have an alert on my Kindle account. "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet is on sale for $4 for a day or so.

I found my copy of "Good Omens" the other day and am about halfway through it. The Apocalypse is mere days away but they've lost the Antichrist ...

I've finished the first two books in the Darth Bane trilogy and I'm on to the 3rd, Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil. Bane's philosophy is internally consistent, which I love, even if it is thoroughly evil and ultimately self-destructive (IMO). Thankfully, the evil is not graphic. I would say it's PG-13 at most. Which, to me, is good. I would not want to deal with descriptions of body horror or sexual assault.

I'm still watching for the second Cinder Spires book, myself. Quite enjoyed Aeronaut's Windlass, and it's been three or four years since that one came out.

Remember, although the building was on fire, it was not his fault.

I just finished Hopscotch by Brian Garfield.

I was inspired to read the novel after watching the movie Hopscotch which starred Walther Matthau and Glenda Jackson.

Both are excellent.

On top of the rest of my stack right now, I got my copy of Usagi Yojimbo volume 7 in. The Dark Horse collections have been a fantastic way to get through a lot of the strip - I'm caught up to current issues once i'm through this collection, having started in on it only a year or two ago. Have to say it's one of my favourite comics.

I did indeed. I also enjoyed the first one in the series ("Hope Never Dies"). I hope he plans to write more.

I also look forward to reading more of his already-published works.

Ha! I know Andrew. He's married to my friend/old co-worker, a very popular erotica/romance author in her own right. He's funny, I bet you'll enjoy it.

I just got Hope Rides Again, by Andrew Shaffer. It's the second book in the Obama/Biden mystery series. Am only about 6 pages in, so can't say much about it, LOL.

Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces. I watched his PBS series when it was on Netflix and thought I should start with the book of his that would be most important to a storyteller.

Lately, I've been enjoying Leigh Perry's Family Skeleton series, beginning with A Skeleton in the Family.
