If you're looking for something light and funny, I recommend any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books!


message 52: by Esther (new)

Esther (nyctale) Just started The Wise Man's Fear and Steelheart just became available for me at the library.

Christine | 637 comments I just finished Chasm City and really enjoyed it (although I felt at the end that the author was not "true" to his main character). I'm about to start Alif the Unseen


message 54: by Chris (new)

Chris Dietzel (chrisdietzel) I'm currently reading Hocus Pocus by Vonnegut. It reminds me of Cat's Cradle, albeit without the apocalypse.

I finished Runes yesterday and am now reading Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews. Its still early going s but has been fun so far.

Christine | 637 comments I started Alif the Unseen but it really didn't capture me, especially with Never Go Back sitting on my bookshelf. Back to Jack Reacher!!

Taha Shabbir | 6 comments I read A Devil in the Details and Endure. Also managed to squeeze in some Brandon Sanderson work with Steelheart and the short story Mitosis set in the same universe. I started Sharps earlier today as I have heard excellent things about it.

I'm reading Reboot by Amy Tintera


message 59: by Laz (new)

Laz the Sailor (laz7) I just finished Ancillary Justice, which was quite unique and well executed. A bit of a rough start as you get used to the multiple first-person perspectives, but it's well done.

Nyssa | 213 comments That one is on my TBR!

I just finished Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity, which was one of the best books I've read all year - if you're in the mood for some nonfiction, I highly recommend it.

Now I'm into The Hallowed Hunt and so far, so good - Bujold rarely disappoints :)

Jenny (jennyc89) | 127 comments I just finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being which was really good. I'm now reading The Rose and the Thorn.

I heard that a lot of people did not like The Hallowed Hunt, so it rarely discussed. People usually recommend other to avoid the book.

Well, I'm liking it quite a bit so far.


message 65: by Ken (new)

Ken (ogi8745) | 1430 comments I finished Reamde. In the dark, I was the victim of freezing rain which took out the power in my area for two days, I had friends who were out for 5 days so I cant complain.
Started River of Stars
Been waiting for it for a while, the book store I frequent told me they could get the author to sign it for me, and eventually he did.
Yay

I liked The Hallowed Hunt, but not as much as the first two in the series - it just got too convoluted. But I'm still glad I read it and glad to own a copy.

Now reading Cold Fire to continue the Spiritwalker trilogy.


message 67: by Christine (new)

Christine | 637 comments I finished Never Go Back (which I enjoyed immensely) and have now started on Ancillary Justice


message 68: by Andreas (new)

Andreas I've just read The Forever War. Great stuff! Here is my review


message 69: by Tyler (new)

Tyler | 45 comments I'm a third of the way through Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) and I'm loving it so far. Just as good as Wool Omnibus if not better.


message 70: by Laz (new)

Laz the Sailor (laz7) I just read another Longknife story (Daring). Great space-opera!

Finally finished Fire Music, 3/5 stars. Starting Academ's Fury for another group.


message 72: by Valerie (new)

Valerie Flores | 1 comments I'm currently reading two books: divergent and alone no more.

I'm just ready to start the second book in Butcher's Codex Alera series but I doubt I'll get to it until 2014. I will be about 2 books short of my 2013 reading challenge goal.
