I must reread that series again soon.

Love the Richard III with audience participation.

I am a fan of the russian novels and so a relative of mine knowing this gave me a 900 pager called Life And Fate.

I've just started The Devil in Green, by Mark Chadbourn. Too soon to say if I like it yet (only a handful of pages in), but it's a Chadbourn so I probably will.

I wish I could read Wyrd Sisters, but Mr Dotsie has had it for weeks now, and I don't want to scare him off by demanding it back. So I've jst finished The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody by Will Cuppy, which was very funny, and Barbara Pym's Excellent Women, which is delightful

Have you ever read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov? It's a brilliant book about the Devil visiting Moscow during Stalin's rule. The Stones based Sympathy for the Devil on it apparantly

 

[theoldlibrarian]

No, but I hear its a good one. I also read Heart Of A Dog by the same Author.

 

[wicked woman]

Just finished The Silver Mage by Katherine Kerr, the final Deverry novel. Loved it, just wish it had more help on who the characters were. It's about reincarnation and how the past affects the present so a list of characters past lives isn't enough. I wanted to know what they did then.

I tried reading (what I think was) the first one of those a few years ago, but had to give up because I couldn't follow the reincarnation thing, I just couldn't remember who had been who which made things tricky!

I'm reading the second Amelia Peabody mystery (The Curse of the Pharaohs) by Elizabeth Peters at the mo. Not exactly brilliant literature, but I'm having a brain-fog attack and it's keeping me amused

She does include a table of characters in the Silver Mage, but I feel I want to go back and read them all back to back.

I like Amelia Peabody, she doesn't suffer from lack of confidence in her own judgement!

 

[miveli09]

I am reading Thud ! The previous book I read was Canterbury Tales !

 

[wicked woman]

Welcome to the forum, miveli09. We're a friendly lot, if a little strange....

 

[miveli09]

Hello wicked woman , i don't mind strange, much prefer it to normal. Although I could say it is only strange depending on what angle you are looking at it from...

 

[Doughnut Jimmy]

What did you think of the Canterbury Tales Mivelli? I read the general prologue at school and wasn't inspired to go any further

Her books can be wicked hard to read sometimes. She is a very good author tho. Gotta agree there.
