I was trying to write a story three years ago - but quit because I didn't have enough time

Getting married in August, 2017 so I'm reading, Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married

WOW!!! Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, Erestor.

I'm reading Cast in Flight by Michelle Sagara - one of several books I got for Christmas.

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Thanks for your kind words all. I also forgot to mention the other book I'm reading, The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

 

[Azrubêl]

I've been reading all of the Númenor-related entries/tales from Tolkien. I'm also reading The Sun Also Rises by Earnest Hemingway and Hegel's The Science of Logic.

Wow! Haha, I just saw this. I'm reading that right now too.

I have been currently reading War and Peace, truly a masterpiece.

Chasm City by Alistair Reynolds

I am reading The Incal, the comic from Jodorowsky and Moebius. It is impressive.

Spellsmith and Carver

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson. I read the first two first, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the Girl who Played with Fire. They're a little slow to start but once you get into them they're excellent. Not sure if I'll read the next two as they weren't written by the original author since he died but the first three were excellent and I highly recommend to any mystery/crime fans.

 

[Starbrow]

I'm reading Spellsmith & Carver: Magician's Reckoning. It's the 3rd book in the series and the best one so far.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

I'm reading "The Club Dumas" by the Spanish writer Arturo Perez-Reverte, which I'd started a couple of years ago, but got sidetracked on. Just came across it again yesterday.

It's one of his Borgesian mysteries, like "The Flanders Panel" rather than a swashbuckler, like "Captain Alatriste".

Both of which I recommend, BTW!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Finished. Good -- a bit like Eco, as some of the reviews said. Book collectors, occult shenanigans, murders -- fun stuff. End was "open to interpretation", and I was a bit dissapointed not to find out who a major character was, but that's the author's right, of course. It does make me wonder if he intended to write a sequel.

I see Polanski made a film from it:

I'll have to look for it, though it got decidedly mixed reviews.

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and it was excellent. I started Isaac Asimov's Foundation and read over half of it in one day it's so good. Going to finish it within a day or two and then start on the second one, Foundation and Empire.

 

[CirdanLinweilin]

I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice, and it is very enjoyable. I truly do believe every man should read it!

Elizabeth Bennet is one of the best characters in literature. Jane Austen truly knew her craft.

Anyway, highly enjoyable!

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Oh yes, she did. I've read everything I could find, including her juvenilia -- which can be very funny, BTW!
