Excellent read!

Just finished 'Wonder Boys' by Michael Chabon, and before that his best-seller 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay'. What an amazing writer - great stories with a raw sense of humor. I've also been thumbing through 'For the Love of Hops' and just started 'True North' by Jim Harrison. Good stuff.

Cool thread - props to the OP.

Chabon is great. I really like his nonfiction stuff too, like Maps and Legends

The Dark Monk by Oliver Potzsch.

Just finished the poisoned pilgrim, set at Andechs. Fantastic series!

 

[Jonk4]

I picked up A Moveable Feast By Hemmingway while I was brewing this weekend. Once I finish that I'm going to start A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Yeah, they're for kids but I've heard that they are a fun read.

Into the Storm: Destroyermen Book 1
Rural Ranger; A Suburban/Urban Manual Field Guide of Traps and Snares for Food and Survival

I got sidetracked and started The Giver by Lois Lowery last night. I'm halfway through it and it is really compelling.

On a lighter note though I recently read My Life as A White Trash Zombie which was a fun read if you like the whole zombie genre. Hounded: The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book One is probably 30% done on the Kindle right now and though it took a little getting used to I am enjoying it too. If you are a fan of urban fantasy (Dresden Files for example) it's worth checking out.

I just finished the sixth book in the Iron Druid series. It's great. I love Oberon the talking dog.

I'm reading the Emperor of Thorns by Mark Lawrence. It may very well be my favorite trilogy of all time.

Yeast is great. I was expecting to like Designing Great Beers more than I did.

Slaves and Masters in the Roman Empire, for my roman history course this semester...hooray

 

[Hello]

I just restarted the Wool series. I started it, then didn't read for months and now I'm restarting it with intention to actually finish it.

Oh! Good series!

Game of Thrones. The TV series hooked me and now the book has me.

One thing I've learned so far is to never start to like a character.

The Drunken Botanist - Amy Stewart

It's about plants used in or to make booze. Now I'm rethinking my landscaping.

Nice, sounds good. I'm adding that to my list.

Currently reading Ruth Reichl's memoir, Tender at the Bone. I'm a fool for food memoirs (Blood, Bones, & Butter, etc) or books about food (anything by Mark Kurlansky, like Salt, Cod, etc.).

Just started The Third Kingdom by Terry Goodkind

This is a good series. I liked the Sword of Truth series a little better.

Have you read the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson? I've got all of the books but am a little inimidated to start a 10 book series when every book is a thousand pages.

This is the latest in the series.

No, haven't read that one.

Sorry. I liked the first story arc in the Sword of Truth better than the second story arc that is the Omen Machine and The Third Kingdom. I should have been more clear.

So far I like this book.

Yes, best epic fantasy I've ever read. Read the first two of the series and if your not completely hooked by the end of Chain of Dogs then you can let it go.

 

[DFHEK]

Currently reading a tv style 'series' of books. The frontiers saga by ryk brown! Cheap scifi but solidly entertaining!

That's great to hear. I've yet to pick up the first book though. I just finished The Riyria Revelations trilogoy by Michael J sullivan. Pretty amazing. And now I'm reading the Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson again to get ready for the second book that comes out in March.
