What are you reading right now?
Re: What are you reading right now?
Personally I'm reading some Discworld novels, again. There's more than 30, and I've read pretty much all of them, but I like rereading them every once in a while.
It's such a brilliant mix between fantasy and humour, and it's absolutely filled with references to other stuff. To be honest I'm surprised it hasn't been seen in this thread yet, Discworld tends to be a geek-favourite.

Re: What are you reading right now?
I find myself enjoying Audio books a little more than the printed versions. not that I don't enjoy reading, but I can concentrate a little easier with the audio format.
I also have the two Dragon Age novels waiting for me to pick them up. I'm afraid it may have to wait until I find out what happens to the Starks of Winterfell.
Oh, and hello Petopia Forums! I is new heres, if you couldn't tell from my post count.

It's a nice set of books, for the reasons you mentioned and the fact that that kind of thing tends to click with me.

GAAAAAHHHHH!!! I finished "Magician's Gambit" book 3 in the Belgariad Series only to find out I am missing "Castle of Wizardry"!!! *Pulls hair out and bashes head against wall* It's days like this that really make me want to kill that cheating, lieing, abusive, thieving, prostitute of an ex-wife! *starts cussing in english, french, spanish, japanese, and russian*
*deeeeeeep breath* ok I feel better now. Since I absolutely refuse to continue a series when a book is missing until that book is replaced I have started reading "The Diamond Throne" by David Eddings. It is book 1 of the Elenium.

I finished Blackout, the Connie Willis book I mentioned yesterday, only to find out that it ends in a cliffhanger. *sigh* Well, I would have read it right away anyway, but I stayed up really late finishing it because there was only a few percent left (on the Kindle, you get percent done instead of pages) and it looked for all the world like the three main characters were going to die. And then it was a cliffhanger ...

Re: What are you reading right now?
Aye, cliffhangers suck.
I just hit one in RoTH. Well, the cliffhanger is in one chapter, with the finish in the next,,,
I WANT TO SLEEP BUT I CANT PUT THE BOOK DOWN!
What makes it so weird is that I know full well how it ends...

Same here, if they didn't have Warcraft on the title I have to admit I probably wouldn't give them a second glance... but they do so I have to read them!Vephriel wrote:Haha, yeah pretty much. They really are rather amateur compared to what I usually read, but I just love learning all the Warcraft lore that I can so I read them anyways. :3
Although I have to hold my hands up and say I really loved Christie Golden's Lord of the Clans. Knaak's (and other Warcraft novelists) books aren't bad but they didn't draw me in like hers did. I actually felt something for the characters and it's one of the few books I've ever read that brought me to tears.
As for other books today I read through I Had a Black Dog and Living with a Black Dog, both by Matthew Johnstone. There wasn't much to read because it's mostly told through pictures, but for anyone with depression that wants to understand or wants to help someone else to understand what they're going through I think they're well worth a look.

But then, this thread is called "What are you reading right now" and I'm not reading any discworld novel right now.
It's to bad that Mr. Pratchett won't be able to write any more books. He is such an awesome storyteller with exactly my sense of humor.
>>> Times Online: Terry Pratchetts disease <<<
His books will be sorely missed.

Re: What are you reading right now?
If you're not into paleontology, geography, geology or history, it might be a good idea to give this book a miss, since its likely to bore you to tears. If, in fact, one of these fields piques your interest (or if you're a gigantic nerd like me and you love all of those things) its worth reading. And since its just over 250 pages long its not a huge, unrewarding slog.
And in case you should wonder, and in case you should care...on that night of all nights, we were already there.
