I do have a Goodreads Profile, however, I merely use it as a means to track the books I read and what I rate them and not as a social platform. Though feel free to add me.
Recently I’ve been delving into the classic genre-defining fantasy books that I’ve been meaning to read for years.
I read the LOTR trilogy, and I understand now where some of its criticism comes from, but mostly where its praise comes from. A phenomenal trilogy I look forward to re-reading In the future. I followed it by watching the movie trilogy I’ve heard so many speak of, and at the risk of being crucified, I must say I vastly prefer the books.
Now, and for probably the next year or so, I’ll be reading The Wheel of Time. I finished the second book “The Great Hunt” only yesterday, and I must say it is quite fantastic.
In between each Wheel of Time book I read The Dresden Files, and Stephen King.
At this moment I’m reading the fourth Dresden Files book, “Summer Knight”, I’m very early in it so I cannot say if it’s good, but I can say I was not a large fan of the previous three books in the series, though I’ve heard the fourth book is where the series starts to pick up so I look forward to that.
The two most recent Stephen King novels I read, “Firestarter” and “The Green Mile”, I think were the weakest Stephen King I’ve read so far, though I still look forward to reading more of his work, as I’ve read few novels that are quite like his. He has a very unique style.
All in all I’ve been reading quite a lot recently, and have started some series I’m excited to finish, and I am finally out of the mini-slump I got stuck in a while ago.
Also, if you want to talk more about what you’ve been reading, I prefer to locate that on the Chrono Book Reviews, Recommendations, and Deals thread. Though these two threads are very closely related so there’s no harm.
