I'm jumping back and forth between two books at once. I'm on volume one of the Horus Heresy series in the Warhammer 40k storyline and Skulduggery Pleasant Vol. 2.
I've always seen the The Flood as the weakest Halo novel, for one the Chief's personality is so disjointed from his other depictions. Still a pretty good book though.ThatLankyBastard said:All the Halo books are great, personal favorites are "The Flood" and "Evolutions"
You can't go wrong really with any of Dan Abnett's other book such as Titanicus or the Gaunt's Ghosts series.I'd also recommend Storm of Iron and the Ultramarines series by Graham McNeill and the Space Wolf series by William King and Lee LightnerJaime_Wolf said:Fiction: Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett. Not something I'd normally read, but a friend lent it to me and I'm really enjoying it. I went in knowing nothing of the Warhammer 40k universe; I'm thinking I might look into picking up a few more books (if anyone has any suggestions for other decent 40k books, feel free to let me know).
Umm... I just realized, I have no idea who it's by... There's a surprising amount of books called Lolita...Cheesebob said:It is about a man named Humbert Humbert who is attracted to, and obsessing over a 12 year old girl named Lolita. It chronicles Humbert's life as he attempts to woo her. Thats all I am going to say.ThatLankyBastard said:You've peaked my interest, I'm gonna look this one up now...Cheesebob said:Lolita.
Damn, just damn.
That is a book that everyone has to read, even if you find it a struggle about 3/4s of the way through. Absolutly fantastic.
...might I ask what it's about?
...or is it pretty obvious from the title...
Its written beautifully as it combines the horrid nature of Humbert's fixation with Lolita with such amazing language.
I just started that one... I haven't gotten far enough into it yet to get a figure on if it's good or not... I'll definitely stick with it now though!Eldritch Warlord said:Currently I'm reading Halo: Cryptum by Greg Bear. A really great book if you're well-versed in Halo lore, but still well written and interesting enough to qualify as a good book if you're not.
