Just read this comment and I'm kinda freaked out. I'm reading Feast for Crows, but the last book I read before that was It by Stephen King...Padwolf said:
Just finished reading Dune by Frank Herbert. My fiancée got a hold of one of the few translated versions of the book. While I liked the book, now I want to read it in English, I'm thinking it might be better.
I started reading Elven Blade by Nick Perumov. When I picked that one up, I also got my hands on Night Watch by Sergej Lukjanenko and Hard to be a God by the Strugatsky brothers. I seem to have a thing for east European sci-fi.

Nice.The Ciaphas Cain series is probably my favourite of all the WH40K novelsEMFCRACKSHOT said:
Got a few books to read for one of my uni courses; already blazed through The Tempest (William Shakespeare), Robinson Crusoe (Daniel Defoe) and Mama Day (Gloria Naylor), and the next one I've got lined up is The Chosen Place, The Timeless People (Paule Mitchell).
These aren't bad, mind you, but they're not what I'd choose to read if it were up to me; the next book I'm really looking forward to is Void Stalker (Aaron Dembski-Bowden), the concluding novel in the Black Library's current Night Lords trilogy.

Have you read Eisenhorn? If you ask me that is easily the best of all the 40k novelsMetalDooley said:
Im on the final Dark Tower book. It's been almost two years since i started reading them but it's almost at an end 
right know im reading women of wonder a collection of short story by a group of difrent female authors and about women. it is sci fi and is really really good. after that ive got the last wish by Andrzej Sapkowski an then dragonsong by Anne Mcaffery, it is my mission to read all the draon riders of pern books. some day.
Yeah the Eisenhorn trilogy was pretty cool.Just recently picked up the Ravenor trilogy as well which is a spin-off from Eisenhorn.That's next on my "to read" listEMFCRACKSHOT said:
I just think Ciaphas Cain was the best because it's the only 40k series I've read that has a bit of humour and lightness thrown in.Makes a nice change from the constant grimdark of all the others
Ready Player One was the last book I really read. I spend a lot more time then is healthy reading fan fiction though.
I recently finished Know No Fear, part of black library's Horus Heresy series, and I decided to reread the earlier ones. I'm up to Battle For The Abyss so far.
Rereading the Eragon series. Too bad the movie sucked so much ass. It was terrible. Books are good though.
I'm currently reading Shadow's Edge, the second book of the night Angel trilogy. I love it. Next I'll probably read the last book in the trilogy. Maybe I'll start another of the Discworl novels or maybe even finish off American Gods.
Just remembered I still have to start The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller. Has anyone read it? Is it good?
Also, has anyone read the Republic Commando books? I loved the games and I'd like to see the story furthered.

i have to admit, it is rather refreshing to see some humor in the 40k universe. i've almost finished traitors hand, but so far caves of ice is my favourite.MetalDooley said:
I found raveor to be nothing that special though. its allright, but definitely not one of dan abnetts better works
Currently reading J.M. Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello; picked it up at the secondhand bookstore. I'm also listening to Eragon series (Brisingr ATM)After I finished the series I'm thinking of starting the Dark Tower series.
I disliked Under the Dome by Stephen King, which I read earlier this year, bah

Currently reading 'A Dance With Dragons' by George R.R. Martin, once I'm done with that I'll be moving on to 'City of Dragons' by Robin Hobb (Book three in The Rain Wild Chronicles) and after that I might check out 'The Hunger Games' or go back to reading the rest of the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCafferey of which I'm about halfway through.
Oh yeah, and when the third Guild Wars book comes out I'm gonna drop everything to read that.
I'd say I'm pretty well set up for the immediate future.
