What Are You Reading?

I figure I start a nice little thread about reading I want to know what you guys are reading.

Currently I am reading Fall of Damnos by Nick Kyme its basically Necrons vs Ultramarines.

just finished the 13th book of the wheel of time series. damn good series. prob gonna start fire and ice books or check out a few of the 40k novels, thinking bout checking out that preheresy novel with the raven guard or the know no fear book. anybody have any recommendations on what novel to check out 40k or fantasy wise?

I strongly suggest not reading A Song of Ice and Fire until the series is finished. You will read the first five books and number six will take so long to come out, you will have forgotten everything that is going on. That has been the pattern with the previous five books so far.

Liberty Defined by Ron Paul

I'm currently reading the second BLOOD Angel Omnibus and it's hard to put the book down.

I just finished The Purging of Kadillus. Gav Thorpe's writing is so bad that it makes me want to melt down my Dark Angels. Unfortunately, this guy gets most of the Dark Angel and Eldar writing assignments so I read the shit anyway even though it's physically painful to do so.

Yeah, I've heard that alot of the 40k books are notoriously badly written.

I've heard the Gotrek and Felix WFB books were pretty cool. And that from somebody who wasnt an enthusiast. Haven't got my hands on em yet.

I've just finished reading the First Hertic which was a good book. If you want a "how the heck did this all get started book" this is the one. I still have to read Outcast Dead and They Shall Know No Fear.

I'm currently working through the Grey Knights omnibus. I think a lot of people expect more from the 40k books than what they are meant for. Remember GWs target audience is 12-16. Really, the books are no more than the fluff in the codex expanded to fill more pages. It's not like GW said, "Write me something that will rival Slaughterhouse 5"

Try the dresden files,. I love the series so far.

Also... at this moment currently reading some really interesting modified rules for paizo's Kingmaker adventure called River Nations: A Complete Player's Guide to Kingdom Building, so far I'm very impressed.

The Founding about the imperial Guard and the ghost squad

I'd recommend anything that aaron deminski-bowden, william king, sandy mitchell, ben counter, kyme, or sarah cawkwell writes. In amongst those are some books that didn't do well by them.

Right now I'm reading the Gildar Rift by sarah cawkwell. It's about the silver skulls taking on huron blackheart. It has a different feel to the book then the other astartes books I have read that's in my collection.

All

The blood angels second omnibus!!
Great books especially the use of special characters like astaroth and corbulo

Only a couple more days and I can get my hands on a copy of Voidstalker which is the 3rd book of the nightlords series I've been reading about.... Been drooling to read it since this time last year when the 2nd book Blood Reaver I finished in a couple of days.

Well lately I've been picking up warhammer fantasy books and reading them. I like them better than the space marine 40k ones so far. Going through the Sundering omnibus which is the story of how the division between dark and high elves happened. Seems easier to follow and more depth than the bland outlook on most of the space marine novels.

But then again I've liked medieval tales better than futuristic.

I've been listening to 40K audio drama's.

Well I just finished Dresden Files (one of the best series i've read in a long time), Currently I'm working on Savage Adventures of Soloman Kane.

Other recent read's have been, The Immager Portfolio, The Night Angel series, The Black Prism (and related books). Also working through some HP Lovecraft.
