I'm still plugging along with the Audio Book Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton narrated by David Lee.

It's a good story so far, but, if you like it, and I do, then your in for the long haul. There's a sequel and no way he's going to get from where he is now to the end of the story by the end of this book (8 hours left).


It's going to be a 4 star read for me. Very good. It's more of a pure sci-fi or space opera than action adventure, but he's got some of everything there from espionage to fantasy (sort of) to good old fashioned explore and investigate ... to hell, it's in here.

It has a lot of moving parts and it's easy to get confused if you aren't paying attention. The scene flips from vinyette to vinyette quickly but you'll like the characters and want to know what's going to happen next for every one of them.

It's well done!

(remember, the Hugh-Scale, a 4 is a very good read!)

I think I have the Rook. if it's an MHI like story then, I'm going to have to get reading here.

Just reading Rook too. Good so far

Just in case folks here find this useful.

Finished reading The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver. Review link at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Started reading Stalking The Angel by Robert Crais.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Started and hoping to finish today. Then plan to start .

More Humor than MHI? Wow, that sounds interesting. I found the Humor in MHI plentiful and fun.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Oh...and I'm up to Small Favor in my Harry Dresden reread as I wait for the next one!

[Janey]

I am currently reading The Tomb of Hercules by Andy McDermott. This is the second book in the Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase series and I'm enjoying the characters and adventures they get into.

[Ctgt]

I've have Resurrected: An Adam Wolf Thriller and Creole Belle going right now.

I really need to get going again on that series...I read the first and really enjoyed it!

Mike, I haven't read anything by Kate Daniels, interested to hear what you think.
They have a $4.95 sale for members at Audible till the 18th and Harry Dresden is on sale! I'm up to book 5.

Ctgt and Lisa, after you finish reading Resurrected I hope you pop in and join our discussion.

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I know!!!! I've already bought the Harry Dresden books on CD. LOL. I saw that sale.

I plan to start Gunmetal Magic today or tomorrow (finishing up library books). I didn't care for the Magic Bites books...BUT, MrsJ and others love it. I just couldn't get passed a few parts of the book. Notably the romance that threads through the whole story (and the type of romance bugged me. It seemed a little heavy handed. Big strong alpha male...woman being independent..."me male, ugh". "I am woman".

Just me maybe. I'd look to a few others I suspect that I'm just not Ms. Daniels' target audience in that book so I don't want to mislead you.

[Ctgt]

Eileen wrote: "Mike, I haven't read anything by Kate Daniels, interested to hear what you think."

I bought On the Edge and Magic Bites for my wife last Christmas. She hasn't read the Kate Daniels yet, but she loved On The Edge and promptly went out and bought the next two in the series.

Eileen wrote:"Ctgt and Lisa, after you finish reading Resurrected I hope you pop in and join our discussion."

Will do. Hoping to finish by the weekend.

[Eileen]

I just finished reading 2 good books, Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future and Finding Round I'm on a roll!

Now, what to read...what to read????? I might start the MHI #4 that's out, since I just finished #3.


Mike and Ctgt, I do think Kate Daniels book are targeted more to the female readers.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Well...I don't know if you saw my review or not Eileen, but I got through 50 pages of Andrews' book (Gunmetal Magic) and tossed it into the library return bag. I apologize to everybody here who loves it...but I just don't care for it. I'd gotten 20 pages of love story angst and it was still dragging on. Too bad because the opening scene was great.

Try for yourself. I know MrsJ and others love Ms. Andrews' books.

[Scott]

I'm currently reading Rot & Ruin.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm currently reading the Featured Member Author Read, Resurrected: An Adam Wolf Thriller by Steve Trotter

I just started it this morning.

I just read your review of Gunmetal Magic and I liked it. It was an honest review and what more could you ask for. Wouldn't it be terrible if we all liked the same things and isn't variety the spice of life?

It would be hideiously boring if you ask me. Diversity (in any of it's many forms) is far more interesting and exciting than homegeniology. (The study of being the same, Homogenius) ... Tim, what's the word I'm looking for again?

Don't forget to eat lunch.

[Jim]

I just started Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman. It's a knockout. Things will never be the same again.

Here's a quote from the book of a quote by Pink Floyd: "There's someone in my head, but it's not me." Anyway, it went something like that.

Don't forget to eat lunch.

[Eileen]

I just ate lunch and all this talk about cheese in the other thread I had to have some.

I'm 5 chapters into Monster Hunter Legion and it's just as entertaining as the last 3!

Cool, I have that one too, audio-book! Oh, yeah!

[Eileen]

I'm doing the audio book and I love the way the narrator does Earl, I think it's spot on.

Eileen wrote: "I'm doing the audio book and I love the way the narrator does Earl, I think it's spot on."

I think he's got Owen down pretty well too, but your right. Earl cracks me up. He even sounds like a country bumpkin ... with a lot of fire arms stashed in his truck.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Planning to get it from Audible...but I'm still backed up on reads for a bit.

[Jim]

"Fire arms stashed in his truck!!" ABSO-F****ING-LOOTLY!
Don't leave home without 'em.

The narrator is good with all the voices. All I say about MHI Legion is, boy is Earl mad in this one!!

Here goes my latest review:

Finished reading Stalking The Angel by Robert Crais. Review link at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....

Started reading Spycatcher by Matthew Dunn.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Good review, Dipanjan.

[Jim]

I just started The Cutout By Francine Mathews. I started with the Amazon sample and pressed the [BUY ME] button at the end of Chapter 2. Already Francine is ramping up the stakes and the conflict. This one's a winner!!The Cutout

Scott, that hideous clown thing graphic of yours has got to the the sickest thing I've ever seen. I'm going to print it and put it up on my wall.

[Diana]

I just bought the latest Andy McDermott book today, Return to Atlantis. I love reading his stuff. Lots of kick-ass action in each book.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I read the first one of that series and really enjoyed it. Your right, it's definately an action book in the Rollins, Cussler and Indiana Jones Tradition.

My little icon is from the Simpsons. It was a great episode where Homer makes Bart a bed, which ends up looking like a scary clown.

But I think you just mean the other picture I have on my page which is the cover of the special edition of It.



This is my favorite book and I know it has made a lot of people see clowns in a whole new light. I highly recommend it.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I never trusted clowns, this just verified my opinion.

[Jim]

Scott, do you actually have a hardbound copy of the SPECIAL edition? That's a big-ticket item there. I'll bet the illustrations are amazing. I just ordered the Kindle edition. I haven't read any SK in a looong time now.

I loved this back in the day, although this may have been the last King book I really enjoyed.

Just starting Tripwire and Night.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I just finished Resurrected: An Adam Wolf Thriller and I've started on Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future by Mike Resnick.

Then I've got MHI #4 on audiobook!

[Eileen]

Sadly, I'm finishing up MHI#4. This book is soooooo good! I can see myself reading (listening) these books over and over again.

Enjoy, Hugh!

[Bev]

Reading Legend not thrilled at the minute. Next i may read the new Matthew Reilly book.

[Jim]

I'm currently reading Incognito: The Secret Life of the Brain by David Eagleman. It's full of surprises.

No. I don't. I would love to have it but that price is to high for me. I've got three kids so there is no chance of that one.

[Tracy]

Right now I am listening to Afraid To Die by Lisa Jackson. I am starting to really get into her books.

I am also listening to Cruel Intent by J.A. Jance who I have been listening to a lot.

I love his books. I'm reading his latest, Return To atlantis. It's just as breathtaking as his others.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Just started The Sisters Brothers. Odd book. It was recommended here as dark humor, action and a bit unique. I'd say so far that's fairly true though the humor has left me a bit cold so far, mostly. It is another I'd call "interesting" though. Sort of "it's own animal".
