rehmwa 2 #102 November 4, 2013 Just finished up Stephen Donaldson's last book in the Thomas Covenant series.....The Last Dark. (I wish he'd have finished it with him waking up in front of the car from the first trilogy of the series). now just picking up some single filler books from other series that are finished, but have had a few recent offerings that flesh out the mid plot (Goodkind, Feist) Not quite sure what's next...all my major series that I've been reading for the last couple decades are all completed. One sign of getting very old. ...

kallend 2,106 #111 November 4, 2013 NWFlyer ***And NWFlyer gets this week's award for resurrecting old threads. Eh, only 2 1/2 years old and it's still early in the week. I won't accept that award just yet. Plus, "what are you reading" threads are timeless. And it's coming on winter, so people are starting to read again.

turtlespeed 226 #113 November 4, 2013 Fire Star: Fire Star Saga, Book 1 by Michael Flynn Slow start. but filling in nicely. Right now it is dealing with a corporate experiment dealing with schooling. Corporate took over a district of schools to try to improve the "output". So far its interesting how the corporation is calling the education the product, and the students the consumer.Not like in today's world, where you have it the other way round. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #119 November 5, 2013 Working my way through the "Ice and Fire" series (Game of Thrones) before sleepy time. Listening to "United States and the Middle East 1914 to 9/11" on the ride back and forth to work.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogers 0 #122 November 5, 2013 "Map Thief" by Heather Terrell The Portuguese and Spanish were thought to have been the first to navigate the world by sea in the 1400's, and their international prestige depended upon that honor. What would happen if a map turned up in a recent archeological project that proved that it was actually the Chinese who first ruled the seas and discovered the unknown continents? It would turn history upside-down. Many influential people would be ruined. National honors lost. To what extent would they go to hide the truth? Who would protect the newly discovered map and the truth from the bad guys? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
