Im not sure yet Kaz. It was a much larger tome than any of the others, yet I read it in about half the time. I went through the entire book thinking that "something was missing or different" and I dont think that is brandons fault either. I think the last 5 chapters, especially, felt rushed. Maybe I should move this to a critique thread.....

So, Deadhouse Gates was really cool, and I'm pretty sure it was all the time spent with Felisin that turned me off the first two times through.  She was just super unsympathetic for me.  Glad that I made it through this time, and really excited to get onto Memories of Ice now.  I have to take a small break to read a couple of books that I bought with my Christmas money.

Starting up Darker Angels by MLN Hanover (Daniel Abraham) now.

Glad you liked Deadhouse Gates.  The ending to that novel was completely full of awesome.  Memories of Ice is, in my opinion, even better.  The last quarter of Memories made it so every book I read for 2 months after that horrible by comparison.  So awesome.

I read Breathless by Dean Koontz.  I vomited due to its awfulness.  It's right there with the newest Dan Brown and the Terrys.

Yeah, it came out.  Only one more to go in the main story-arc.  Erikson and Esslemont promised me that we would all get a MAJOR resolution.

I got my subscription to the Grantville Gazette and now I'm reading Grantville Gazette IV. Which I somehow apparently missed coming out in hardback...along with Grantville Gazette V... Oops.

Just finished Servant of a Dark God. It was really good, but slow at first. Once I got past the first 150 pages or so, it picked up substantially. I think I just couldn't bring myself to care about the characters for the first little while, but got into a bit more as I came to know them a bit.

Starting Lamentation by Ken Scholes, which I had a few friends recommend to me, and which I was able to get for $4 in hardcover. Figured I really couldn't go wrong there (unless it's absolutely dreadful, which, from what I'm hearing, it's not).

Though of course it may now be delayed as I have a Dust of Dreams reading marathon. I had completely forgotten that it was out, which makes me feel like a bad sci-fi/fantasy reader. So I'll remedy that by immediately picking it up.

well, thank you all very much! I am going to place my library order now and hope I get it soon (unlike Gathering Storm which made me wait for 40+ other people! lol)

While I await the arrival of Memories of Ice I wandered off into the non-fiction section. I started to read a book on profiling serial killers. One of the scariest books I've ever picked up.

Well, the last thing I finished was HOA, but that goes in another forum.

I'm currently reading Fallen by Lauren Kate.  Penny Arcade said it might be the start of a new craze, kind of like Twilight(may they be known as the awful books they are), so I thought I'd preempt it by reading it and finding out if it's terrible or not.  So far, it's not doing so well.

I'm about to start the first book in the Vampire Earth series. Looking forward to it, due to the EBR review for the 8th book.

Also, I would've started Malazan but when I went to B&N, the only copy they had of Gardens of the Moon was ripped a bit and I prefer to buy my books in perfect condition. And a discount for the rip still wouldn't have been worth it. It was very not cool, since I really wanted to read it...
