    Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Not bad so far. I just finished The Dark Tower series (loved it) so it is definitely an adjustment.

      I read this so many times that my hardback copy started breaking. You know how the edges of the outer cover about 2/3 of the way down start getting fuzzy from being held when you’ve taken off the dust jacket? Almost fuzzy enough to make into a rope for escaping from a tower.

    Currently reading Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. Is it particularly good? Honestly, no. I think all the characters except for the protagonist are frustrating, and if she ends up in a relationship with any one of them I’ll be greatly disappointed. Am I having fun? Kinda. I won’t pick up the second book unless they introduce a great sequel hook, though.

    Pattern Recognition, William Gibson.

    Gibson is tough to get into, personally, but his stories are very cool!

    Hi! I’m not on Beehaw (hope my responding anyway isn’t problem) but want to see if I can comment.

    I’m reading In Real Life by Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang today.

    The Trouble With Peace, by Joe Abercrombie. Glad to be in a mood where I enjoy his cheerful cynicism again. Curious to see if any good deed in the whole long tale (this is book 7, depending on how you count) will remain unpunished though.

    I just finished Custer Died for Your Sins, and am about half way through Killers of the Flower Moon. So far it’s definitely been worth the read.

    Claudius The God, which I’m enjoying. (I watched the BBC adaption years ago, but only got around to reading the two books recently.)

    Conspiracy of Truths by Alexandra Rowland.

    So far, it is intriguing and enjoyable! Got a ways to go, but I think it’ll hold up.

    1356 by Bernard Cornwell. Its cheesey typical damsel in destress stuff set in a bloody french chevauchée, but I’ll be damned if it aint a whole lof of fun. Think the expanse, but with horses as worse charachters.

      I loved his Warlord Chronicles trilogy, and I’m onto reading the Sharpe series now. In terms of story he definitely has a formula that he sticks to, but it’s a really entertaining formula so I can’t really fault him for it.
