I read Poe when I was pretty young, and didn't really get most of his work. I think I need to revisit it now.
Just looked up Thieves' World series, it looks really interesting. Adding it to my wishlist!
This sounds really interesting. How are you liking it?
Well, as someone who care about privacy (online and otherwise), there have been moments in our recent history where it has been very 1984. At least in that one aspect. And there are places in the world, where "alternate truths" spread by the government make it impossible to discern what's what (at least for average citizen). But yeah, I agree, we haven't gone full 1984 yet.
How did you like Death of a Salesman? Just looked it up, apparently it's considered one of the best American plays of 20th Century.
Wow, Irene had a tough life. So, is Suite Francaise unfinished?
Oooh. I loved Tress of the Emerald Sea. It was very refreshing style, if Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is anything similar, it's going to be great too.
*Mistborn
I haven't started the second era of Mistborn, was waiting to get all the books first. Now that I have the whole series, I am wondering if I should re-read the original Mistborn series before starting the Wax & Wayne. I remember the story, but I don't remember all the characters, and smaller details. Would I miss them if I read the next books without refreshing those details?
I have James Joyce's Ulysses in my to-read pile for over a decade, but it looks so daunting, so never started it.
Nice collection of books that you are reading. Have fun!
Congratulations! That sounds like a great activity, and a bonding experience.
Would love to know more about the book.
Nice! I have been thinking about starting the Discworld series, once I am done with Dresden Files. I have read a few of the novels, but not near enough the full series. I have few of the starting one, so going to start in the written / published order.
Have you read any other subseries of Discworld, which one is your currently your favourite?
Yeah, they are pretty light and quick. Like that about them, not every book need to be dense.
As for The Aeronaut's Windlass, I try not to start unfinished series now (with some exceptions). He started Cinder Spire series about 8 years ago, and the second book is releasing in November of this year. I have read his Codex Alera series, and will read this when he finishes it.
He used to be a very consistent writer, releasing a book pretty much every year, let's hope he gets back into the groove.
The titles sound interesting, I would love to hear your thoughts when you have finished these.
