Just started re-reading Dinocalypse Now by Chuck Wendig. I've read the book but never read the rest of the trilogy, and 3 years are enough for me to forget most of what happened there. Anyway, great start, grabbed me by the balls and it's not letting go. It's a pulp adventure story about dinosaurs trying to take over Earth.

Book:
Drood- Dan Simmons
&
Comic:
Wasteland- Antony Johnston & Christopher Mitten
I am actually not enjoying Wasteland. I am just trying hard to finish it. As I bought the bundle for it thinking that I'd love it. Usually I am all about most things post apocalyptic themed but I find this to be extremely boring & hard to keep my interest.

Finished Old Man's War (that ending really got me, props to you Scalzi for being such a fantastic wordsmith) and definitely plan to read the rest of the series.
Started Imzadi last night, already halfway through. Enjoying it a lot more than I expected I would.

After completion of the Wheel of Time saga by Robert Jordan... I'm now cathing up the classic One: LotR
I've to admit that probably WoT is my nr 1 "fantasy" ever at pair with Andrzej Sapkowski's Geralt saga (to be completed, missing last 2 books).
LotR is great and I'm enjoyng it much, but...

How the f**** can't I google what's the english title of Michael Mansfield's book?? Something like Hunger, but google tries to force an old, left-wing barrister's memoirs on my throat while I know that M.M. is actually a quite good horror-writer, something like Stephen King. I'll be back if I find the title but literally google gives nothing to " Michael Mansfield writer -barrister -memoirs book list". It's just incredible.
LOL it's just an alias of a hungarian writer :D It got me seriously confused (you know if google doesn't find something, that thing does not exist)

Perhaps an english version doesn't exist..
This is all goodreads has: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/265046.Michael_Mansfield
Or you could search the web via its ISBN :)

Well, if he has published something with that pen-name, it has to be somewhere. So yes, the more obvious solution is that an english version of the book doesn't exist yet.
Don't know if you've checked the previous link but, to confirm this, between all books there is one in hungarian (called Tűzkeresztség) which has no other editions. maybe he got mistakenly "fused" with the real Michael Mansfield..

I don't think I will ever finish it, given it has almost 900 pages (never finished Cryptonomicon either </3) I got it yesterday and read like 40... but so far it's enjoyable.

I'm so bad at reading, still stuck with Seveneves, read nothing aside of school related stuff and one short story. I read in bursts, and after the last one I'm 63% in. With this pace it will take me only 1-5 more months!
(Consider this a bump, whoever happen to read this message)

I'm reading "The Martian" by Andy Weir. It's quite entertaining, although I think the narrator's tone is too light-hearted for the reader to really believe anything bad is gonna happen to him. :P

I found my old Kindle since I'm gonna be in the public transit a lot, so now I'm reading stuff by Lovecraft.
Also sometimes I switch it and work on re-reading the Witcher books.
The backlog is horrible, I've got so many book in here I want to read, but at the same time I've got even more books I wish to read again... it's inescapable :-P

while i can watch movies repeatedly (Shrek is a good example). the number of books is limited, Lord of Light was one.
Comment has been collapsed.
what is the book you've read most times?
i think mine is The hobbit and maybe LoTR. but Lord of Light was much more fun. one of the few books i finished and reopened a day after

there are constantly threads for music, movies, and games, but so little love for the written word!
I'm currently reading Uprooted by Naomi Novak. I thoroughly enjoy her Temeraire series and I highly recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in historical fiction (even if you don't it's worth looking into).
update: Now reading "Blood and Iron" by a local author
