Re: what are you reading right now?
I could have sworn that I read Hitchiker's Guide, but I just read it, and nothing in it rang a bell....nothing...oh well. I was getting ready to read The Restaurant At the End of The Universe, when I picked up The Hobbit instead.

Re: what are you reading right now?
I'm now on So Long and Thanks for All the Fish in the Hitchhikers series. That's about 5 books I've finished, read and started in the last 9 days. Maybe I actually will get all the books I wanted to read read this summer.

The Crystal singer series, by Anne Mcaffrey
Very good, but somewhat strange ending, when the heroine suddenly wakes up and finds out it's all been a dream! Ups, spoiler alert No, just kidding. It wasn't all a dream |

Re: what are you reading right now?
I'm rereading the TPM novel. Then I'll probably start with Jan Guillou's last book in hist "crusader trilogy" about early Swedish history.

Re: what are you reading right now?
I`m in the middle of `Massacre at Montsegur` by Zoe Oldenbourg. It is a fairly heavy tome about the Albigensian Crusade.
BTW, emilsson, if you are interested in this and other related topics, Oldenbourg`s book, `The Crusades`, is one of the best of the many volumes I have read on this subject. |

Re: what are you reading right now?
Thanks, Taimar. I love the Middle Ages and books set in that time ( both fiction and non-fiction ). I´ll remember that book.

Re: what are you reading right now?
Right now, I'm about halfway through Jack London's The Sea-Wolf. I needed a break from SF/Fantasy works, and have to read it anyway.

Re: what are you reading right now?
I've now read a third of Guillou's book. Then I probably read Malcom Barber's books on the Templar Knights.

Re: My Reading :)
After spending an inordiante amount of time reading Tom Clancy's The Bear and the Dragon, I have moved on to a new book. Currently I am reading R.A. Salvatore's The Demon Awakens.

Re: My Reading :)
Today I will start rereading the Fellowship of the Ring. It's been three years since the last time and this is a good time for some LOTR.
The Demon Awakens is good, probably my favorite book together with The Demon Spirit by RA Salvatore. |
