How To Kill A Credit Card by K T Corruptor

Oh yes, and I'm currently waiting for Micheal Moorcock to get his finger out of his wotsit and finish the Latest Elric books.

K S darlin'

K S Corruptor

And if ye order now you'll get free enrollment in the 12 step practiacl programme plus dibs on the next edition - Credit Cards: If it's not gold he's not worth it

Another book I'm waiting for is my 'replacement' copy of Pillars of the Earth - ex went & lost the bloody thing, now I can't find it in the bookstores - had to order one

Is anyone else eager for Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver?  He must have big plans for it: apparently it's 944 pages long, and is (only) Volume 1 of something called The Baroque Cycle.  I've loved most of Stephenson's other stuff … I can't wait to see what he does with this.

I'm also curious to see if Mark Danielewski can possibly follow up House of Leaves with anything nearly as mind-blowing.  It's certainly a tough act to follow!

I'm waiting for Harry Turtledove's American Empire: The Victorious Opposition.

His books are like crack; expensive, unhealthy, enjoyable and way too addictive. Stupid August release dates.

Now I'm waiting for the new Dirk Pitt-book by Clive Cussler which will arrive in November. The title is Troyan Odyssey.

Clive is retiring, so his son, Dirk Cussler, will take over the writing of DP-books. I hope he's just as good an adventure-thriller writer as his father.

Grey_Wolf · 08-31-2003, 07:00 AM

I've also ordered the first six books of Colleen McCullough's Rome-series and am awaiting part four and five of Mary Stewart's King Arthur-series.

Greywolf! You're the first person I've seen who has heard of the Mary Stewart Arthurian novels! I've read them loads of times and love them. Have you read them before? If not you will not be disappointed. Let me know, if you remember, how you get on with them?

Hi Nessa!

I actually haven't read them yet, but I will read them when I have the entire quintet. If you like King Arthur-stories, here's a few tips:

A A Attanasio's quartet
Stephen R Lawhead's quintet
Roger Lancelyn Green's King Arthur And His Knights of the Round Table

I haven't read the Lawhead ones yet either since I'm reading the books of my favourite adventure-thriller author (Clive Cussler) at the moment. Once I'm gone through those, I'll most probably will start reading Mary Stewart's books (though it depends on me having aquired parts four and five).

Kindest Regards,

Anders

I read about that in Time magazine before it came out, and I'd really like to read it, but I'm cheap and can't afford hard covers. Let me know how it is though, because it looks great.

hectorberlioz: Did you read Prey? I haven't read it yet, but its waiting in my room. I'm pretty sure thats the most recent.

And as to Wheel of Time...you can pretty much skim 8,9,10 and know whats going on when you pick up 11 in a couple months. (too many!) They are pretty slow paced, but I still enjoyed them. Only two left, so the last two should be pretty fast paced, like the old Wheel of Time I know and love.

War at sea in the age of sail 1650 - 1850.
by Andrew Lambert

D-DAY: 6 June 1944 - the Normandie Landings.
by Richard Collier

Hawklan · 07-21-2004, 06:45 PM

I have heard rumour that Stephen Donaldson is bringing out a new book in the Thomas Covenant series - this is mighty interesting considering the ending of the last one in the series ??!! Maybe we will get " Thomas Covenant - the believer " or " thomas Covenant - The nice guy "

If you've read the others you'll get the joke.

cee2lee2 · 07-21-2004, 07:37 PM

The next in A Series of Unfortunate Events is supposed to be out this fall. And I do hope we don't have to wait another 3 years for the next Harry Potter!
