Terry Brooks' 'A princess of Landover'. I really liked the old Landover books, but this one is ... mediocre.

The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges.
This signature makes the preceeding post about 20% cooler.

'Guardians of the West' by David and Leigh Eddings. After that, the rest of the Mallorean. I like the simplicity of Eddings' books.

The Eddingses are among 'thul's favorite authors... It is too bad that they are both deceased now...
Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

I finished The Aleph and Other Stories earlier today. While most stories were decent, I have to admit I'm unsure why Borges is such a literary giant. In my ongoing quest to both read more work by female authors and to reduce my to-read pile, I'm now taking on Empress by Karen Miller. This signature makes the preceeding post about 20% cooler.

'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett. I am not even two chapters in but am already thinking I may have to set it aside unfinished (despite my self-imposed "once a book has been started it must be finished" rule). I certainly like the idea behind it (which is why I purchased it in the first place, rather than due to the rave reviews it has received), and some of the characters, but am not enjoying the inconsistency in the vernaculars at all. I am not an expert by any means  but this became apparent from the very first page and is cause for huge distractions...

These beings have begun reading "mistborn" by Brandon Sanderson. They have not gotten far enough to say much about the story as a whole (10 pages in) but it is not looking bad, and the cover is highly promising... It has a rather nice quote: "highly recommended!" - Robin Hobb

I've had my eye on Sanderson for quite a while. Be sure to tell us if you enjoy the book. Halfway through Empress. It's keeping me interested so far, although the highly formalized dialogue sometimes grates a little. This signature makes the preceeding post about 20% cooler.

These beings have come about 3 chapters into book. It is of just the expected quality from the recommendation... lots of things that make any reasonable person chuckle or outright laugh. It also has a rather original system of magic, and that is good...
