Will have to put out a poll soon for Group read topic(s) for the March-April read(s). Any ideas?

Film or TV novelizations.

Gaming tie-in fiction, especially now that the Warhammer & 40K books are starting to appear (in overpriced fashion) in the US Kindle store.

Have we done graphic novels?

Al Burke (alburke47) | 220 comments I picked up Dwarves by Markus Heitz recently, so I'm good with this choice.

I had the same book in mind when I made the suggestion. It's on my to-read list. Looks good."

That's also on my Kindle somewhere.

I'm also starting to get a bit of an itch to read some Drow books despite the fact that every time I pick up a Drizzt book, I read the first couple of pages and just can't get past that point. Maybe this time, or maybe I'll try the Elaine Cunningham books instead.

Cindy Tomamichel | 42 comments I waded thru the Heitz Dwarf series. The first one is great, the latter ones get darker and darker. I kept going to find out what happens, but it was a real effort. It is a fantastic dwarf world creation, but in general, just too much torture and gore for me. Especially his side series which writes from the Alfar viewpoint, whose culture is based on torture.

Ursula K. Le Guin theme might be in order

Al Burke (alburke47) | 220 comments Read a bunch of her stuff years ago. I wouldn't mind taking another one out for a spin.
