Re-reading the Scar by China Meville. I would recommend any of his stuff.

The new B5TV.COM is here. We've replaced our 16 year old software with flashy new XenForo install. Registration is open again. Password resets will work again. More info here.
So...what is everybody reading now? (part Deux)

Been bored lately and read a couple of Star Wars books.
The first one "Death Star" tells the story of the finishing stages of the Death Stars construction,including how that fatal design flaw happened,to its destruction through several characters.
The second one "Darth Bane Path of Destruction" tells of the rise of Darth Bane and the beginning of the "Rule of Two" against the background of a galactic war between the Sith and Republic.
Was pleasantly surprised with both of them.Not literary great but entertaining nonetheless :thumbsup:

As well you ought. It's very fun indeed.
I'm haphazardly culling my collection, and there are a few books I'm undecided about, and therefore re-reading: John Dalmas' "Regiment" series. Dalmas had a good idea and then beat it to death, but the first few books of his that I encountered worked rather well.

Always meant to read Rama. There is a Arthur C Clarke sized gap in my classif sci-fi knowledge. I've got Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis to read. Markas, if you liked Good Omens, Gaimens' American Gods is also a great read.
That and some old Hellblazer comics my mate leant me.

Characters in the book, or IRL?

IRL. Lord of the Rings is one franchise that has, in the past, been ruined for me by its fans. Specifically, classmates of mine at the time. When they saw a copy of the Fellowship in my bag, they start asking me EVERY. DAY.
"So how many pages have you read???"
"Have you met Tom Bombadil yet???"
"WHAT?? YOU ONLY READ 70 PAGES OVER THE WEEKEND??"
"What do you mean, you had a band practice? This is the Lord of the Rings! This is important!"
"But you will read more next weekend, yes??"
.. and even when they were getting on my tits enough to make me stop reading - partly to spite them, partly because it was just no fun like that - they'd still attempt to discuss fine points of the Silmarillion with me on a daily basis for months after.

lol Progress is made in small steps, isn't it.
I gave up on Clark's Rama book and decided to move on to some light reading- Absalom Absalom! by William Faulkner. My god does that dude write long sentences.

That would deter anyone.
