Kevin, sorry but you've confused me now. Are you saying that i should only read the first six DF books because they changed the way they were published (after they got more popular) after that point? That sounds crazy? Are the novels themselves written differently?

Jenny wrote: "I also started reading Planet of the Damned."

Enjoy...i love most of Harry Harrisons books.

[Laurel]

Just read ALL the Dresden books - not a disappointing one in the bunch!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I agree with Laurel Tyrone. I think after time to consider that Kevin must have been saying if you were taking a break that would be the time.

I read every Dresden that was out back to back when I first came across the series, I think that was Proven Guilty. White Night came out not long after and I snapped it up. My only complaint with the Dresden books is that there aren't enough of them.

Don't miss a volume.

[Traci]

I don't know why you would purposely read a series out of order. I started Dresden out of order years ago because the newer covers don't do a good job of telling you the order.

Anyway. Happy New Year everyone. I started Dust of Dreams. I'm a little nervous that Malazan will end much like Lost. All the mysteries leading nowhere.

Read The Graveyard Book last night. It was amazing.

[Emily]

I love The Graveyard Book. It's great on audio-Neil Gaiman is wonderful.

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Just finished The Graveyard Book as well. Enjoyed it a lot--maybe I need to hear it as well.

Just found this on my library Kindle list and am now on the hold list for it.

[Kevin]

I read the Graveyard book over the summer, and did not understand what is so great about the book.

[Regina]

I am reading Kindred and I am really liking it. I can't believe I haven't read her stuff before. I am also listening to The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World I just finished the audio of The Name of the Wind I really liked the Name of the Wind, but I did not care much for the focus on the love interest. I thought she was uninteresting.

I really need to read Kindred, its a book that I heard a lot of great things about, even though I find her work really underrated.

[Regina]

Have you read her other stuff? I haven't. I found Kindred on Amazon for $4.95, it is really good stuff so far.

No, I have not.

Carol, it's great on audio. I love Neil Gaiman's voice.

Thanks! I liked it but I didn't love it. I'm not that into the big muscled hero type of sci fi. I was most interested in the mystery/science part of the plot. It was a fun read though and I'd like to read more pulp sci fi.

[Kevin]

Bag of Bones and Valley of the Horses

[Tyrone]

Just finished The Good, the Bad and the Multiplex by my favourite critic Mark Kermode. It's all familiar stuff if you watch his blog or listen to the Radio show on the BBC with the brilliant Simon Mayo, but he pulls it all together looking at what is most wrong with the conception, making and distribution of modern movies. A great read.

Just about the embark (with some sadness) on the final trilogy to be written in the world of Midkemia, starting with A Kingdom Besieged written by Raymond E. Feist. The books set in this world have been ever present throughout my reading life...it will be odd not to be waiting for the next instalment.

I enjoyed the Graveyard Book and American Gods. They aren't my favorites, but they are well written. To me, Gaiman is a more literary Stephen King.

Yeah, that I agree with.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I am reading Hunting Ground, and I think it's fantastic. I should finish it sometime today.

Check out both Fledgling and Parable of the Sower. Great books.

[Sharon]

About one-third into the new Jane Yellowrock book Raven Cursed: A Jane Yellowrock Novel Good so far, a bit slower I think than the previous books but interesting.

[Kevin]

Starting the Perks of Being a Wallflower.

[Laura]

Now onto The Eye of the World :)
Heard a lot of good things about this series, so I figure I'd better get up to speed :D

[Emily]

I'm reading Rook, Graham Masterton. I'm about halfway through and liking it OK. Has anyone read the whole series? I'd love to hear how the more recently written books are.

[Chelsea]

Just finished Echoes of Avalon which I got on Kindle. It was a strong first novel. I had some issues with it, and will post a review, but overall, I found it surprisingly good. The best thing about the Kindle (for me, at least) is having access to independent authors. I've got mine loaded up with about ten new books, so it looks like this will be the year of Indie Authors for me!

[Traci]

Should be done with Dust of Dreams later today and then finally finishing Malazan with The Crippled God. I really hope it all pulls together....but I'm not holding my breath.

[Marc-Antoine]

Now reading 11/22/63

[Roshio]

Currently reading American Gods. this would be my fourth attempt at a Neil Gaiman book and surely the fourth time's the charm?? hopefully. so far so good actually.

[Mach]

I tried Gaiman once, did not like his writing style.

[Roshio]

i've read coraline and the graveyard book which i thought were okay but nothing to rave about. couldnt get through Neverwhere and American Gods is basically my last shot. if i dont like it, i'll officially give up.

[Mach]

Neverwhere was the one i tried, its still standing on my shelf, i was not even halfway before i gave up.

[Brett]

I just got Cassandra Clare's City of Bones, #1 of her Mortal Instruments series. I don't know how I missed it all these years or maybe it never struck a chord with me until now. But this looks pretty interesting and I can't wait to get into it.

Yes, be sure to read the Dresden series in order. The main character is definitely formed by his experiences in the earlier novel sequence.

[Elizabeth]

I'm reading Theft of Swords (first time in this version but I did read it previously as The Crown Conspiracy and really liked it. Even better the second time around - because there are clues to the bigger story that I keep finding.

I'm also reading Princess Bride for part of the Buddy read and really enjoying it as well...Thought a bit distracted by the POV shift to modern times that I'm starting to skip over.

Great to hear-I just started Theft of Swords but have to pause to read All The Things I've Done for a book club meeting next Friday. I've enjoyed two other books by Gabrielle Zevin, so it should be a good, quick read. If Theft of Swords is good enough for a reread, then I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[Shannon]

Gave up on Of Blood and Honey and now into A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner.

[Haydensdad]

Just finished Stone of Tears, going to read The Warded Man.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I'm reading . Loved the first book and love this one too. College-level wizardry!

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

It's too bad that the first is kindle only.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I think he'll probably put it out in pb if he gets a larger following.

[Tim]

I just started The Eye of the World, by both audiobook and ebook. Sometimes both at once. I get distracted very quickly, but with both listening and reading at the same time, I can concentrate much better and dive deeper in the story.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

That's an interesting approach to reading a book, Tim. Sounds like it's working very well for you.

[Lis]

I just finished "A Conspiracy of Kings" (Megan Whalen Turner) and "The Way of Shadows" (Brent Weeks). I'm just now getting my hands on Daughter of Smoke and Bone and the Night Circus.

Tim, how does that work? doesn't the audiobook get ahead of the ebook? do you read at the same pace? Sorry, just curious. c:

[Tim]

Lizzy: No, not at all! I just try to read at the same pace, and it's going pretty well so far. There's only one small problem: If I'm reading without audiobook, the next time it takes about 5 or 10 minutes finding the right time in the audiobook.

[Regina]

I sometimes do what Tim is doing - I refer back to the audio book for clarification, especially in heavy world building books. But I don't follow along word by word.

I am listening to the audio of and I am also looking at the pictures (it is heavily illustrated) in the print version. And I am reading

[Jenny]

I'm nearly done with Dead as a Doornail. I really like audiobooks but sometimes I prefer listening to music in the car so it can take a long time for me to finish them.

I'm also reading Mansfield Park and Room. The Night Circus just came in at the library so I'm motivated to finish up Room quickly.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

There are a few books I read on audio that I need to go back and read in print, because I missed out on the illustrations the first time around.

[Regina]

Lady D, that is basically what I do, but while I am in the midst of the book. But most audios, I do not need to consult with the ebook. But I find fantasy is one genre that I do need to do that.
