Blue Kitty:
I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle, and I feel like it fills in a lot of the holes in the movie.
Edguy:
Have anyone here read the the Witcher books? Are they well written? How do they compare to similar series such as Malazan Book of the Fallen or Song of Ice and Fire? Are the English translations good?
After all the amazing previews and trailers, and now reception, to the third game, I've been picking up the first two games. I've really taken a liking to the series, and I'm considering reading the books.
Is it cold in here?:
Now caught up on David Weber's Safehold series. The good guys are showing a definite dark streak now.
Active Madness:
Reading Chuck Palahniuk's "Doomed".
In recent years he's definitely relying more on shock value than writing quality.
Got to the requisite big shocking bit in Doomed this morning and it was just... eh. It's not shocking, it's not thought provoking, It's not titillating. It's not transgressive, it's just grubby.
Gladstone:
"Recent years" meaning since about 2007, but probably long before that. I read most of his novels after "Rant" out of sheer habit, but finally decided to stop after "Damned." Everything he writes just seems tired and half-assed, like he knows what he's expected to do and just barely cares enough to do it. I still think "Fight Club 2" is a giant joke, but nobody wants to be the first to admit it.
That said, I have his new collection of stories on hold at the library, but I'll probably just read one or two to confirm that he's still doing the same old shit.
