Books / Re: What are you reading, part 3
« on: January 03, 2011, 11:30:59 AM »
I'm currently reading:
"The Well of Ascension" (Brandon Sanderson)
"Men at Arms" (Terry Pratchett)*
"First Lord's Fury" (Jim Butcher)
Planning to read:
-Finish the "Mistborn" books
-Start "Dresden Files"
-Possibly pick up one of Pratchett's YA books
-Possibly try "Ender's Game"
*I've already read this a couple times. I almost always am reading a few books at once, and at least one of them is almost always something light and fun that I've read before. Recluce (Modesitt) and Discworld (Pratchett) books are the ones I come back to most often.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I bought the omnibus when trailers started being released for the movie, and I really liked the first book, but by the end of the series I was basically forcing myself to keep reading out of morbid curiosity for how Pullman would tie it all together in the end.

Pullman makes out like he's going to tell a good story and then craps all over it to further his "message". I think his offense is worse.
