What Are You Reading? 3

[raisindot]

One of the things I miss in my long time away from these forums is getting an idea for what to read next. I'm currently struggling through A Feast of for Crows.

Is that the fourth one? (I'm bad on the titles). If so, this one was the absolutely the worst, and I think Martin knows it, since he indicated in his notes that this one is really half of a much larger book he had to split into two. The series really went downhill in this one, and the fifth book is only a slight improvement.

Yeah it is the fourth. I've been about a quarter of the way through it for weeks. It's hard to get behind some of the new perspectives.

I'm reading Moving Pictures, I particularly like character Victor, He thought there was something unusual about Gaspode, because normal Anka Morpork dogs don't go woof

That's when I usually start studying

Alanz, I liked UA, I'm sure you'll like it too

 

[Tonyblack]

I liked UA as well. Thankfully it wasn't as much about football as I thought. I think Glenda is one of my favourite all time Pratchett characters. I remember having to explain the significance of the ending to Sharlene though.

 

[The Mad Collector]

I disliked UA when I read it the first time but got into it more from the Briggs recording. It's OK but not in the first 10 I would pull from the shelf to read again next

 

[Penfold]

I enjoyed UA and thought Sir Terry got the tone and understanding just right with regards to the 'tribalism' amongst the supporters, especially as he is not a fan of the game himself. (West Ham and Spurs were having a bit of an argument over post Olympics occupancy of the Olympic Stadium at the time, which was getting rather heated in some quarters.*) Football, however, wasn't the main theme but more of a vehicle to drive other themes along.

*It's still going on with Barry Hearn and Leyton Orient who were upset that West Ham didn't ask them to ground share.

I didn't mind UA, I like Mr Nutt.

In my continuing literature slump I'm reading anything by Wodehouse. I don't have to think too hard when reading his books, just enjoying his wit & prose.

 

[Catch-up]

Reading 1356 by Bernard Cornwell. About 1/3 way through and really enjoying it!

I really enjoyed that one - so did Sharlene.

Finished it a couple of days ago. Really good! It was very hard to put down.

 

[Alanz]

Thanks for all your comments, I'm yet to start UA, just finishing Moving Picures, should finish that tonight

That's hardly a literature slump, reading one of the finest users of the English language. I've nearly finished my Jeeves and Wooster marathon, 2 novels to go
