And now for something Totally off topic :)

[Deathstalker]

Ok, ok, I know, not SeIV material but I just finished the most AMAZING book. If you love sf/fantasy you HAVE to read 'Blade of Tyshalle', sequel to 'Heroes Die' by Matthew Woodring Stover. INCREDIBLE book. Which starts me on another thread, first there was 'how old are you', then 'what do you listen to', well this is 'what do you read?'. Here is mine (no particular order):
Simon R. Green: Deathstalker series
David Feintuch: Seafort series
David Brin: Earthclan (damn it's hardcore)
Orson Scott Card: Ender(what else do you need? )
Timothy Zahn: Conquerors series
Chris Clairmont: First Flight series
Ben Bova: Exiles trilogy
Nivin/Pournelle: Anything, but definitly Footfall
Turtledove: Worldwar series
and of course Star Wars/Trek/Battletech/Dr.Who for fun.

Fantasy: Too much to list but anything by Michelle West/Melanie Rawn/Laurel Hamilton/Friedman/Simon R. Green/Stover is a Must(besides the obligatory Jordan stuff ).

Anything I missed????

Reading... hrm. My personal library's pretty varied. Recent acquisitions that come to mind include _The Color of Magic_, _The Art of War_, _On War_, _Romance of the Three Kingdoms_ (1st vol. only so far), _Journey to the West_, _A Fire Upon the Deep_, _Ethics_ (in queue), and _A Book of Five Rings_ (in queue). I also recently re-read KSR's [RGB] _Mars_ trilogy.

My readings generally wander around science fiction (strong preference for non-fluffy works with only the occasional parody; _Stand on Zanzibar_ is more my taste than, oh, _Star Trek_), philosophy, strategy, history (in particular, espionage -- _The Sword and the Shield_ makes interesting reading), and the odd classic.
