That's supposed to be the basis for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Sandi (sandikal) | 1212 comments I finished listening to On Stranger Tides and loved all of it. I didn't get anywhere near as confused as I have with other Tim Powers books I've read. Tamahome, it is supposed to be the basis of the next Pirates movie, but I'd venture a guess that the whole series draws heavily from this book. I read the blurb for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" on IMDB and I think it will be very loosely based on the book.

My new listen is Dreadnought by Cherie Priest. It's set in the same world as Boneshaker, but it is not a sequel.

Curt Taylor (meegeek) | 107 comments Taking a break and reading american assasin by Vince Flynn. I know it is not fantasy, but that could be debatable depending on your political persuasion. My daughter works at Simon & Shuster marketing and she had Vince sign a copy for me, pretty cool. Have the World of Warcraft: The Shattering on deck though, as well as A Clash of Kings, the list just keeps growing....

Erin Kelly (literateknits) | 10 comments I always forget to write these in! What I read in October. Audio was all Wheel all of the Time: The Dragon Reborn through half of Lord of Chaos, which is when I gave up on finishing in time and skipped to Knife of Dreams and I'm not quite gonna be finished with The Gathering Storm, but I should manage it by the end of work tomorrow, when I get to go read Towers of Midnight. As for those dead tree books I read
Furies of Calderon purely because I thought trying to make an epic fantasy out of Pokemon was hilarious and everything Jessica Day George has written because she writes outstanding fairy tale flavored crack (in the "I can't put this book down" sense of the word).
