Finished A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. Loving the series. Watched the Game of Thrones TV series and decided to give the books a whirl. I'm not much of a fan in the way of fantasy novels, but this series is pretty damn good. Might make me rethink my stance on fantasy novels.

Yeah, George RR Martin is pretty damn good. I really liked what I've read of A Song of Ice and Fire series, (I finished A Storm of Swords) but, his style just kinda makes it hard for me to enjoy thoroughly. I hate the uber-over descriptive style of writing.

HAS NOBODY ELSE READ A DANCE WITH DRAGONS?!?!?!

Gah, this is why I Lurk Westeros for ASOIAF stuff.

Not yet, Jag, making my way there.

As for his writing style, Frank, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed how each person's descriptions differed. Some were more detailed then others while others detailed other aspects that others wouldn't. It's interesting how he's written it. Then again, I'm a sucker fr a well painted picture by the author.

Highly recommend this one for Fantasy readers.

I'm reading it now, about 300 pages in (paperback)... I have to say, the book is incredible. The story is told in an awesome fashion, and I love the way the character Kvothe is portrayed. I have a feeling this trilogy could turn out to be one of my favorites of all time.

AD&D's Deities and Demigods

I bought one at a flea market(minus the fleas) for $2.00 and sat down last week reading over the various Gods. As a former player of the AD&D game I was quite enthralled.

Since my last post I finished reading 'Summer Knight' and moved onto 'Death Masks' which I'm about tow thirds of the way through. First of all, Summer Knight was excellent. The storyline was really good and Butcher really fleshed out some of the characters that he introduced a couple of books ago and gave some more insight into Harry's past and the ending is fanatstic but I think Death Masks has topped it, so far, it's my favourite book in the series.

In all honestly, Dead Beat is my favorite book of the series. I loved the humor in Dead Beat, as well as how awesome the book was.

My favorite Dresden books are, in order:

1. Dead Beat
2. Small Favor
3. Proven Guilty

Also, I finished The Name of the Wind. Ho-ly. Shit. The book was incredible. I instantly ordered the next one, and I'm currently awaiting it. Honestly, it might be one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. Ever. Seriously.

Once you read the second one, there's an awesome forum interview with the author over on Westeros.

Awesome book, definitely one of my favourites.

Just finished reading Blood Rites, it didn't start out that strong but as I kep reading, it kept getting better. There were some great moments and revalations in this book and while I don't think it's the strongest book in the series it still a damn good read.

next up is Proven Guilty... the hits just keep on coming   trust me on that

'I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell' by Tucker Max

Basically the true stories of an asshole who shags a lot of women, gets drunk, vomits, shits and pisses himself and is generally a prick. Fucking brilliant stuff!
