I'm just about finished with Terry Pratchett's "Witches Abroad", then it's on to "Guards!, Guards!" also by Pratchett.

House of Suns

I'm about halfway through House of Suns, odd little book...

 

[Mark Jordan]

Quiet Teacher by Arthur Rosenfeld -an exciting and interesting read.

 

[Touch Of Death]

Another reason I get them from the library. I've had Fatal Error requested for months.

Ah, a fellow kicker. LOL

I identify more with Abe, but, with fewer weapons...

Yes, it is. A better starting point might have been Revelation Space. House of Suns is not part of that series. Reynolds deals with time on a grand scale and he defines his characters based on the technology available at the time and how society would have evolved in response to it. RS takes place in a future time that is fairly near to our own compared to the millions of years in HoS, so the characters are easier to identify with.

Just started PRIVATE by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, I expect it will be a fast paced, page turner, entertaining, and I should be done by suppertime.

 

[Sukerkin]

Having finally finished the latest Wheel of Time offering, I am once again reading Honor Harrington ...

...

...

... yes, I know there are other books available :lol:.

Currently on "Honor Among Enemies", one of my favourites.

Shinju by Laura Joh Rowland. It's detective fiction set during feudal Japan. The main character is an investigator for the Shogun. There's an entire series of which this book is the first volume.

That sounds interesting.

Question Sukerkin, since you are an Honor Harrington fan, have you ever read the Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold? After reading two from Weber I'm convinced that Bujold was his inspiration.

I swear I have read the same basic story before!
A group/team of serial killers? Anyone recognize that concept?

I haven't, girlbug, no. But I do know of them and if I recall correctly Weber does talk about her in the interview he made that you can see on YouTube.

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, next one will be In the Kitchen by Monica Ali.

 

[Big Don]

Just started Greg Iles' True Evil, I was momentarily confused by the title, but, no, Iles did not write a book about my ex wife.

 

[dancingalone]

That sounds interesting.

I do recommend the book if you want to grab it from your library.
