    What are you reading - May/June?

    I have just finished The Vanished Child by Sarah Smith. It was quite good so I am now trying to find the two other books in the series. I am in a coin toss right now between reading Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay or starting the whole Deryni series by Katherine Kurtz. In the end I may just read...

    The Thomas Covenant books only appeal a to very few. I enjoyed them but except for a couple people everyone else I know that has read them just couldn't get into them and set them aside. Though a much slower read the second trilogy was my favorite. Currently I'm reading Winter's Tale by Mark...

    Book Catalouging Software

    That's cool I'm surprised Amazon lets them do that. I think I'll just enter all the info myself it may take longer but at least all the right version info will be correct. Now I have a reason to use my scanner lol.

    Mervyn Peake: Gormenghast

    It's a great book though a lot of people don't seem to like the style for some reason. I think it's one of those that most people just have to read through a time or two before they really enjoy it. Definitely one of the early fantasy classics though at least in my opinion.

    Book Catalouging Software

    I use just plain old MS: Excel or Word. Though after looking at the collecorz site I'm thinking of converting. If you do get it please post how well it works it looks like it has some cool features like loan manager. How or where does it get the cover images?

    Stephen King: The Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger

    I read this back in '89 and loved it and the rest of the series I'm happy Stephen King plans on finishing it before he fully retieres.

    I'm just starting Killing Time by Caleb Carr it seems interesting so far. I just finished the four Elminster books by Ed Greenwood they were fairly good though the first Elminster: The Making Of A Mage was definitely the best and a few steps up from the other three.

    Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha! I have you now!

    I think Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter from the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman are a couple of the more evil characters in fantasy. But for science fiction I'd have to say Peter Wiggin from the Enders Game series by Orson Scott Card you never knew what he was going to do.
