I was reading that a few weeks back - the Horus Heresy series that is, not Flight of the Eisenstein, as I'm caught up with every Warhammer 40k series without novels currently exclusive to hardcover format (or in other words, I was reading Nemesis). Right now I'm reading Enforcer, the Shira Calpurnia omnibus - which means I'm basically re-reading Crossfire, Legacy, and Blind only this time with some added dossiers at the end of each. Huzzah for the Adeptus Arbites.orangebandguy said:

I'm reading Schindler's Ark, and then onto Gears of War
Richard morgan's Cyber punk Takeshi Kovacs trilogy. Tis good stuff, I love how believable the world(s) are...
Marvel's Annihilation. Really good and easy to understand even if you're a complete comics noob like me.
Right now I'm reading Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach and my Parasitology text book by a punch of guys that really enjoy parasites. After I've finished Bonk, I'm going to pick up Parasite Rex: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures by Carl Zimmer and Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters by Matt Riddle. If you couldn't tell, I'm on a big science related kick right now and I've also got a huge stack of books I need to read.
You'll have read all ten by the end of the month. Dan Abnett is like crack.dalek sec said:"Nemesis" was a good read, you should enjoy it too.Greyfox105 said:
As for myself, I'm busying cracking the first book in the "Gaunts Ghost's" series by Dan Abnett and so for I'm loving it.
I'm reading the Enforcer Omnibus (Warhammer 40k), as I am all caught up on my Horus Heresy and Gaunt's Ghsot.

You too, eh?Gildan Bladeborn said:

This thread.
Seriously though, I'm in the middle of "Fear the Alien" and "A Thousand Suns", both 40k novels. Next up: Nemesis.

I'm reading that too. I had heard great things about it, but unfortunately it's kind of a let-down. I'm a bit past halfway and so far I only dig the Sumerian stuff; the main characters are really one- (or zero-)dimensional, and the plot seems to be basically "katanas! skateboards! explosions! bad-assery abounds!" ... funny, 'cos a lot of the reviews I read had the opposite opinion: that the "mystical" stuff was cheesy and out-of-place, and that the action-packed storyline would be better off without it. I dunno. Still, it's enjoyable enough, and I'm gonna see it through to the end.VikingIncogneto said:

Having read all the Malazan Fallen books so far (the 10th and final is due in January), and also all the Ice and Fire bkoos thus far (wish he'd finish Dance of Dragons...), I can say while they are both brilliant series's's's's, I definately think Malazan Fallen wins by a nose. Its just.... fucking awesome, the best books Ive ever reead, and I read a lot for pleasure.
Reading Fall of Angels by L.E Modesett Jr. at the moment, I missed it by accident when reading through tthe Recluce Saga and have had to go back two books lol. Luckily they can be read out of order.
As soon as thats finished, I'm back on Gardens of The Moon by Erikson to get me up to date for January. I really cant wait for The Crippled God..... *drools*
The Bhagavad-Gita, which - like all holy scripture - needs some explosions and car chases thrown in for good measure. I'm attempting to read up on all religious texts, and have already read the Bible and the Koran. Just for the record I'm not having a crisis of faith or anything, I'm just curious.
