Chekhonte Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 the copy of the trial i'm reading is translated by willa and edward muir. It's a very old copy from the 40's. It was given to me by an austrian woman I know and she said that it's a fine translation from the german however it's the only version I've read so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm reading it for the first time after having just read the castle a month ago. Although I haven't finished the trial I have to say that so far I like the castle more. We'll see if that opinion changes as I finish the last 100 pages. Quote

Chekhonte Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 The Habit of Being: The Letters Of Flannery O'Connor Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Almost finished with Night Watch, volume 1 of that trilogy by Sergei Lukyanenko: ...is excellent. I was going to read them in synch (both the Russian version and the English version), but I'm already almost done with the first book. Quote
postjack Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay cool, gg kay is great. i've only read "lions of al-rassan", but I'm looking forward to reading more. Quote
philodox Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 cool, gg kay is great. i've only read "lions of al-rassan", but I'm looking forward to reading more.All of his stuff is great, but my favourites are Tigana and The Fionavar Tapestry... though I am really likeing Ysabel. Robert Heinlein - FridayGreat book! Probably my second or third favourite Heinlein. My favourite has always been Job: A Comedy of Justice. It is too hard to pick between most of the others since everything that he wrote in the 60's, 70's and 80's is so good. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Listening to Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman Quote
philodox Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Anansi Boys is great, as is American Gods... I'm trying to figure out which book of his to get next. Quote
postjack Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Anansi Boys is great, as is American Gods... I'm trying to figure out which book of his to get next. Check out Neverwhere if you haven't read it, its one of my favs. Quote
philodox Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks, I'll pick that up the next time i swing by the bookstore. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 I agree, Neverwhere is great. TV version of it is, well, interesting, to say the least. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Gone for Soldiers by Jeff Shaara and Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman. Also just finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and will be starting with the rest of the series soon. Quote
aerius Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Finished Children of Dune a few days ago, just started on The God Emperor of Dune. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 aerius - how are you liking he Dune series? I've been thinking about reading it. Quote
aerius Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 It's a big change from my normal light reading (John Ringo's books for example), the style's quite different and there's a lot more layers & subtlety so it takes some concentration to keep everything sorted in my head. I'm liking it so far, the political intrigues can get a bit tedious though. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Hmm, maybe I'll give it a shot. Hopefully, the political intrigues won't turn me away from it. Quote
philodox Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Ysabel was great and it turns out [didn't realize until nearly the end] that it is sort of a sequel to The Fionavar Tapestry. Just read Race Through TIme by Piers Anthony and really liked it, starting on a couple Marion Zimmer Bradley Darkover books soon. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Also re-reading Good Omen by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Quote
n_maher Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Just finished The Deathly Hallows. I'll reserve comment until others have had the proper time to read it. Quote
en480c4 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Just finished The Deathly Hallows. I'll reserve comment until others have had the proper time to read it. Finished it myself about 30 minutes ago. Quote
