Recently read Mountains Beyond Mountains. Book about Paul Farmer. Worth a read (his brother is a famous wrestler too!)

Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. Currently finished the first part Leviathan Wakes, and now reading the second instalment Caliban's War.

So far, pretty entertaining.

 

Was reading Name of the Wind by Rothfuss, but somehow got stuck after a few chapters.
Now my exams are over I'm going to start again.

 

Sword of Shannara trilogy. Biggest book I've ever read at 1k+ pages. Enjoyed the Bearers of the black staff books, and am enjoying this one too.


Once finished I'll be moving on to the Game of Thrones books.

 

A Storm of Swords. Having seen Game of Thrones up to end of last series I thought I would give the books a go. Quite enjoying them to be honest.

 

Terry Brooks is awesome! Just make damn sure you read all 8 Shannara books

 

So much David Gemmell, absolutely amazing books.

 

Not long finished Pathfinder by David Blakeley, not usually my type of read but it was a lucky change.

Currently reading

The Atrocity Archives - Charles Stross
Sixth Column - Robert A. Heinlein
Fat - Rob Grant

Slowly reading

Learning to Program Using Python
Linux from Scratch

 

Finished sword of shannara. Read the Scions of Shannara, then 1st Game of Thrones, now I'm on Druid of shannara.

Already got Scions of Shannara, just need to find the third book elf queen. Then I'll be back onto Game of Thrones.

 

Dune by Frank Herbert, been on my list for as long as I can remember and finally got round to reading it. I haven't read much of it so far but it does seem like it is going to be an awesome book.

 

I personally found it an awful read. Not the story as I loved it, just the way it was written. Ended up listening to it on Audible and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Just finished:

The Apocalypse Codex --Charles Stross
Angelmaker --Nick Harkaway

Now reading: The Long Earth --Terry Pratchett and Steve Baxter

Next up: "The Gone Away World" --Nick Harkaway

 

Absolutely love Stross' Laundry files series, the wait for the next one is doing my head in. The Long earth is one of Sir Terry's best, I've one of the limited stamped slipcased editions of the long war waiting to be read at home.

 

So many books, so little time!

 

Current:
Dreadnought - Robert K Massie
Citizen Soliders - Stephen E Ambrose
The Pacific (re-read) - Stephen E Ambrose

Just finished:
Kursk: The Greatest Battle - Lloyd Clark
Gulag: A History of the Soviet Camps - Anne Applebaum
Wings - Patrick Bishop
Road of Bones - Fergal Keane
Stalin's General: The Life of Georgy Zhukov - Geoffery Roberts
Castles of Steel - Robert K Massie

So yeah, I finish university for the year and plough in to a pile of military history books I've been buying in anticipation. Literally can't explain the joy at not reading a medical textbook.

 

The Quarry - Iain Banks

Good start, poor ending. Banks' main forte was in writing longer books so it's kinda understandable.

EDIT: Apparently our neighbour is writing an analytical history book on the 7-years war. Listening to him talking about it, I really want him to hurry up and finish it! Right now I'm reading 'All The King's Men', a book about the history of the british redcoats.

 

I just finished 1984. Damn!!!! everyone needs to read this!

 

Amazing how something published in 1949 becomes so relevant later on. That or just watch V for Vendetta

Pyramids

The Lost Symbol

 

The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, Vol. 1 and Traditional Bowhunting. I'm learning a lot I thought I knew, and finding I knew far less than I thought. That's cool, though.

 

Dan Abnett - Embedded
Douglas Adams - The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Glaxy
John Lloyd & John Mitcheson - QI: The Second Book of General Ignorance
Kouta Hirano - Hellsing Vol. 1-5

[yes I tend to have more than one book on the go at once...]
