Just read Julia Gray's Guardian Cycle 5 book series - I picked up the first book as I have read all my books  I thoroughly enjoyed these I would reccommend the David Farland books Runelords - but I found the last booked was rushed with spelling mistakes and character mix ups!

| Just finished reading Alan Moore's 'Top 10' not a book per se being a trade paperback and all. Well worth a read, bizzarre concept. Police precinct in a city/worl where EVERYONE has special powers i.e. is a superhero, mutant, God, Alien etc. And I can also thoroughly advise people read Anansi Boys by Neill Gaiman (that one's an actual book).

| Anansi boys is great, I'm reading "Ilario" by Mary Gentle- which is brilliant, set in the same "universe" as "Ash"- abd "Hood" by Stephen Lawhead which I'm also enjoying, it's quite a nice version of the Robin Hood tale- quite gritty and set in Powys and the Marches, instead of Nottingham. I'm also re reading (again) "The Gates of Ivrel" by CJ Cherryh, this was the first fantasy book I read after The Hobbit LOTR and Narnia when I was a kid and it's the one that got me hooked- brilliant stuff

| The Lies of Locke Lamore Very pleasing im finding it too. Tis the Long con story in a 'low' fantasy world.... probably about 1600's style and tech range.

| I've just finished reading "Under the Moons of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. John Carter, Dejah Thoris, red men, green men, black men, white apes and more thoats than you can shake a 200 mile range radium gun at. Not _nearly_ as schlocky as I'd have thought and rather refreshing. Often parodied, never bettered. I've also just finished reading "Interface" by Neil Stephenson and some guy, it's about a politician who has a chip in his head that lets him react according to voter demands. Surprisingly sympathetic and with some of the most rib-clutchingly funny dialogue I've read in ages. I've also just finished reading "World War Z" the sequel to "The Zombie Survival Guide". A series of personal perspectives it charts the spread of the epidemic and the reactions to it over the world. A bit optimistic towards the end, but I liked it. I'm currently reading "Don't Eat This Book" by Morgan Spurlock, who stars in "Super Size Me". It's largely polemical and TBH tends to make me hungry. Not as good as "Fast Food Nation" which it frequently references, but I tend to be interested in the food industry so hey.
There is only overconfidence and terror.

| Finnaly got around to reading the copy of Judas Unchained by PEter Hamilton, thats been sat on my shelf since Christmas, read it in nearly a weekend, which for me is pretty good going. Really enjoyed it as well, can't wait for his next one. coffmeister (7/17/2007)

ive read almost all of david gemmel's fantastic books! But im now on a book calle 'Tales From The Old World' a book full of short warhammer stories . Im really enjoying it and i think it has recindled my love of warhammer.....lets just hope it burns out again before i start spending vast amounts of money on pieces of metal and plastic!
The night was cold and the boy new what would come now, more fantastic tales of giants who made chairs out of mountains, of maidens so beautiful you'd eat the sun for but a glance from them, of warriors who's icy eyes cut into lesser mens hearts like fire. But his grandfather started his age old tales differently tonight. " Gather round , ill tell you a tale now of a Prince , the last prince of a fabled land far off. His land had been surpressed under the rule of a tyrant from a neighboring country for many years. This prince fought , and outwitted this tyrant many times . Tonight i will tell you a tale of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd The last prince of Wales.
