Revisiting A Game Of Thrones by George RR Martin. As good as I remember it from ten years ago. I recommend it to all forumites who enjoy SF/F, especially if you are planning on watching the premiere on HBO in January.
What fiction book are you currently reading?

I'm too lazy to see who mentioned this first. But, thanks, I am loving this.
I know this is probably a daft question given the title {
} but what are they about, Don?
I am presently on Echoes of Honour, having finished In Enemy Hands the other night The last twenty or thirty pages of that book, when they are escaping from the StateSec battle-cruiser, always have me blinking away tears I am not ashamed to admit - courage and self-sacrifice are virtues that hit hard for me.
Okay, it might not be Checkov or Tolstoy but, for me, fiction is darned good if it gets your emotions engaged.

If you like Monster Hunter International, the second book, Monster Hunter Vendetta is just as good. the author has a great website as well. If you look around there you can see a helicopter crewman from either Iraq or Afghanistan with a M.H.I. patch on his helmet, it looks pretty cool. Sukerkin, if you like the Honor Harrington series you might like the books that start with Battle At Armegedan Reef: Helfort's war book one. It is pretty much like the Harrington series, but it is not so bad, it is hard to beat Weber's space naval warfare books.
Well, Suke, it is another author, that I really like, I might never have heard of or picked up except for hearing people on this board recommend it.I know this is probably a daft question given the title {

Well, the Nimue/Merlyn character ain't no Honor. The first one is pretty good, the remaining quickly enter into the bloat that the later Honor books suffer from. Tons of politics, lots of intrigue, lots of (low) tech development, and a once in a while fight or big battle. I use them for long drives, the last audio book was something like 24 hours long, fine if you have little else, but I would rather reread early Honor books.

Not his best effort. Somewhat disjointed.
Hype is hot air and nothing of substance!
I have book 6 of Jeff Stone's Five Ancestor series laying on my night stand. 'Mouse'
Following Tiger, Monkey, Snake, Crane and Eagle...
Pretty strong series, to be found in the Juvenile/Young adult section...
Would you accept much loved? I'm loving it so far. I didn't make it past the prologue and had already laughed aloud, "Big Bang Theory".Hype is hot air and nothing of substance!
Indeed.

Sweet man. Rincewind is gonna blow your mind. It is by far not the best in the series, but it serves to set up the world, after reading the first 2 you can pretty much read them in the order or follow the character you like.

Somebody gave me this book and I'm still on page 17 but it looks interesting.
