Well, the pacing becomes even slower, and there are books where nothing happens. Still, it's my favourite series. So, keep reading, and maybe pace yourself so you don't get burned out.

I really want to read it, but I am not starting another unfinished series! May start reading Cinder Spires when 3rd book is released.

I am seeing many people mentioning Babel, I should probably take a look, but I still have his Poppy War series, and haven't even started it.

Yeah, there are two Omnibus for Chanur, first one The Chanur Saga has book 1-3, and Chanur's Endgame has last two, 4-5. Will probably just order both of them.

That sounds fascinating. For new topics, I like the approach of first reading a general book which covers vast areas of the topic, and then getting book which covers the area you are interested in, in more detail. Adding it to my wish list!

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I have yet to read any of R. A. Salvatore's books. How are you liking them?

[-] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the info, will check it out.

[-] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

That's high praise!

Never heard of him before, but just looked him up, and added his work to my wishlist. Thanks!

I have been thinking of reading them to see if they can be a good read for young kids. Though, I get the feeling (without actually reading them) that they are more suitable for teenagers, then kids of 8-9 years old.

What do you think?

Nice list of books! Which translation of Metamorphoses are you reading?

As for The Black Echo, why are all crime series so long? PDFuego mentioned J. D. Robb's in Death series in this thread below, and it's also 30+ books. Well, the good thing is, if you end up liking the books, you don't have to wait for the next one, but they just keep going.

Just looked up Siddhartha Mukherjee, his works looks interesting. Which ones did you order?

I have read about a quarter of Discworld novels, wanted to read them all in released order, but couldn't find many books. I plan to start the re-read again once I have found some of the remaining books.

Discworld is always the right answer!

Looked up Crooked Kingdom, and learned the word "dilogy", I always thought for two books it was duology, first time I ever seen the word dilogy.
