So...what's everyone reading?

[Sminja]

I'm on and off reading The Da Vinci Code right now. I think its good. Anyone ever read Ender's Game? Man, now thats a good book...really makes you think...

[Maxwell]

has anyone here ever heard of the discworld series by terry pratchett, it's very good eespecially this one called soul music... all i can say is death is the funniest character ever, especially when he gets drunk and starts yelling at people in the bar.

[fuzzyoctopus]

It is a good series, and I think you'll find that most of the folks here have read at least one or two of the books, (I think I've read most of them.)

Death is great; I'm a fan of the Luggage, myself.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I actually haven't read any Prachett. Don't know why. Just haven't really ever gotten around to picking up one of his books. Plus none of my friends have suggested I read any of his stuff.

[Entsuropi]

Voices in your head don't count as friends, Gemm.

Plus : Go pick one up.

[Maxwell]

The, luggage, know it love, it fear.

[Sig]

What is this luggage you speak of?

[Sig]

enyone here heard of Fred Saberhagen?

[Sminja]

No but he sounds...European, by his name. What kinda stuff does he write?

[Maxwell]

the luggage is an indestructable suitcase with teeth and hundreds of liitle legs, it is completely faithful to it's owner and completely hommicidal to anything it percieves as threat to said owner,it eats them, but all that ever comes out of the luggage is freshly laundered clothes smelling of lavender...

Apparently, I'm reading a dragonlance novel and a couple forgotten Realms novels.
I hate it when companies do this

Wizards of the Coast sent me this week three novels (the label said to The Leading Edge, those people canNOT keep their friggin' review list straight). They're volumes one, two, and three. Naturally, all three are from different trilogies, which is what really makes me mad. Grr... I feel obligated to review my free stuff, but I think this lady is goign to get a call.

My only consolation is that they're D&D fiction, so should take me all of an hour to read.

[Fellfrosch]

Saberhagen is one of my flat-out favorite authors, for both fantasy and sci-fi. I even got to talk to him once at World Fantasy, and felt as giddy as a school-girl.

With Pratchett, on the other hand, I grow increasingly disillusioned with every book I read. The man has only written one character in his entire career--the rest are all personality traits with legs.

[EUOL]

That's common enough in comedic writing that it shouldn't be TOO big of a detraction.  

I remember reading Saberhagen, but it was a long time ago.  Maybe I was too young, but the books didn't grip me very much.

[Spriggan]

Isn't Saberhagen the one who wrote the books about swords named after greek/roman gods?

[EUOL]

Yeah, that's him.  The swords each did cool things, and there were gods running around--though I remember being confused about who they really were.
