I've finally started A Dance with Dragons. Apart from the Daenerys chapters, I can't put it down

Hey memeslayer, guess what I just finished?

I actually liked the Daenerys chapters, although I spend decent chunks of them going "Oh honey, no". The Reek chapters, though? Uggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. Those were awful.

Currently bouncing back and forth between Stephen King's "It" and The Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe.

[Gutterchild7]

THIS *-* I always wanted the printed edition but it's impossible to get it where I live (guess when I head to usa I'll try to find it T_T)



Also, reading Poe's short stories from time to time as I always did.

Reading Book of the New Sun for the second time, Gene Wolfe. There are those who say you get a lot more out of the book as you read it again; I'm finding this report extremely true

I have it sitting on my bookshelf. Looking at it right now. I had to special order it at the bookstore, but that was years ago. I'm currently going through the old 1994 Chinese TV show on youtube. I started the show a long time ago and never finished so I had to start over.

Right now I am reading The Myst Reader. I'm just a little bit into The Book of Ti'ana.

I'm currently reading (actually, listening to it on Audible) "The Fell Sword" by Miles Cameron. It's the second book in the series. The first was "The Red Knight". Both books are really good military fantasy with a focus on knights and chivalry.

Devin Townsend - Only Half There


The guy is definitely...unique. Really interesting to read.

[BlackToothGrin]

Just started this series myself! About halfway through Gardens of the Moon.

[MettalMiranda]

I am reading a collection of lovecraft and also some older japanese poetry .

I'm slowly working my way through Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain. I guess it's kind of his autobiography, except more split into topics. If you like his shows at all, though, you'd probably like this - you can practically hear him narrating the book, and dude has stories.

Also, I really want to start The Wise Man's Fear, but probably won't get to it until I get on the plane for the boat.

Same here! Parts Unknown is particularly good, IMO. The cinematography and production is killer.

[MettalMiranda]

I am reading some of the best of lovecraft and also some forgotten realms stuff . Books of my youth just make me super happy

[Evican]

"Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded" - Hannah Hart
"The Art Of Asking" - Amanda Palmer

On a quest for The Dark Tower... just started book 6.

Not exactly the most dynamic thread on the forum here! But I'm a big book nerd, and I've been thinking about a metal reading list. Not books about metal (those are fairly easy to find), but books that, perhaps, have influenced songs, bands, lyrics, etc. I'm about to read through this whole thread and see what else I find (and yes, writing down a bunch of the books about metal too!), but what comes up when you think of that? Which bands/musicians/songs were influenced by what books, basically. (I'm also always interested in books recommended by the musicians. For example, just wrote down some recommended by Alex Skolnick on his old blog.)

My list is really short so far, but I've got Johnny Got His Gun - Dalton Trumbo, Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Coleridge, Norse Mythology - Neil Gaiman (probably lots of other mythology too), For Whom the Bell Tolls - Hemingway, H.P. Lovecraft....What others can you think of? I could probably come up with several more, but I thought I'd crowd-source it and see what you guys can tell me!

The Last Season. Just started, it's a nonfiction book about a park ranger who goes missing in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Haven't had much time to read in a while and for me there's no better way to plunge back in than a biography with elements of mystery and some musings on nature.

[jknechtel]

Part way through Homage to Catalonia.

[Disco]

Currently reading Rainbow Six.

I'm about halfway through.

[Yippee38]

I'm not reading, but listening to "Kings of the Wyld" by Nicholas Eames. It's really fun. They talk about mercenary "bands" whose jobs are referred to as "gigs" and the people who find the gigs for them are called "bookers". There's tons of references, subtle and overt, about music.

[Pickett]

I'm just about to finish the final book of the Mistborn thrilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Couldn't recommend it more to people who like fantasy.

It's a tough read, but I love it so far!
