My bad roze,
thank you for editing that for me. put message up at end of a 84hr window of no sleep and plenty of alcohol. I apologize to all.
Definitely is a killer series so far for me tho.

The quote is from the creator of the series in response to the cancellation of the show and the campaign to bring it back.

Indeed. I just finished watching the series from start to finish again ending with the Peacekeeper wars movie.

Sadly I also watched FireFly and Serenity. Love them both.

Another show that ended before it's time

Finished Ripley Under Water by Patricia Highsmith, which was a bit disappointing compared to the other two Ripley novels I've read. I'm now reading a self-published novel (my first since trying to move away from the Big 6 publishers in favor of indie- and self-publishing) called Ameriqaeda by Markus Kane.

I know how you feel. It's hard waiting for "The Omen Machine" to come out

 

[ballisticn8]

just wodering if anyone else has picked up any of the Joe Ledger novels by Jonathan Maberry? Patient Zero and The Dragon Factory were both epic reads, so much so that I dug and found copies of his previous work The Pine Deep Trilogy. Pine Deep is a modern day horror story, very well written, but the Joe Ledger series (third book is in the works ) is bad a$$. Think cutting edge high tech dna sequencing and genetic engineering meets kicking a$$ and taking names small group of spec ops soldiers. If you like sci-fi meets action then def check out Maberry, you wont be let down.

From Wiki:

His current novel Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel, is a bioterrorism thriller that launches a new series for St. Martin's Press. It is scheduled to be followed in 2010 by The Dragon Factory and in 2011 by The King of Plagues. The first three books in the series have been optioned by producer Michael De Luca (Se7en, Magnolia, Blade) on behalf of Sony.

whats the deal with this fire and ice stuff i keep hearing about? Details?

Think of fire and ice going down the path of Steven King's Dark Tower septology. I.E. expect it to be a very long time until it gets completed. I started reading the series back in 2003 and I've been waiting for the 5th book for the past 5 years. Expected publication date is 2011...but they've been saying something like that for the past 4 years...I used to be a big fan. I followed all the developements religiously from Martin's blog to fan stuff just to be up to date with everything. Now, like thousands of other fans...I've become a resentful fan. If you're OK with waiting for years for each book to come out then read what's out. If you don't have the patience to wait then don't.

What about his Dunk and Egg or Wild Cars series? Anyone read them and are they any good?

 

[Podivin]

Am I correct in thinking this is the 'Shadows' series (and where you got your name?). I've queued up The Way of Shadows in Aldiko as my next read, just want to make sure I've got the right series before I wade in.

I snuck a couple of other books in between then and now, but I've finally started the first book in the series - it's off to a very good start. I can see where this is going to be one of those where I read all three books back to back.

It was definitely one that I couldn't put down, though sword of truth had more epicness nightangel was action packed. Might just reread it... having trouble trying to pick what to read now after SoT. Was gonna start this King of the Isles series (something like that), will have to Look and see what it was called again

I am going to have to stop reading the Churchill bio. TOOOOOOOOO LONG and drawn out.

Not sure what is next. Its interesting and partly funny but.

Master Key System - Charles Haanel

 

[Napalm]

OK, new book for crizmitch. (memphis area radio joke, and long story)

meanwhile, Carl Hiaasen - The downhill Lie.

I have been meaning to read it for 2 years now. So this is what I started yesterday.

 

[lunameow]

Flying Dutch by Tom Holt. But only because I ran out of Terry Pratchett and Christopher Moore.

Also off-and-on reading The Tao of Daily Life by Derek Lin.

 

[SlowRain]

I forgot to update this thread. I'm currently rereading The Russia House by John le Carr

 

[eyebeam]

The Windup Girl by Pablo Bacigalupi.

 

[NightAngel79]

The Dreamers by David and Leigh Eddings...
Wrote while DE was sufferring from dementia and he died soon after completing this series... its all right but nothing compared to the EPICNESS that is/was The Belgariad and The Mallorean

 

[ekyle]

I've been reading American Gods and so far, it's really good

I've tried reading a few John le Carre books and just can't do it. The stories always seem like they'd be good, but I just don't care for his writing style. I'm not sure what it is, but eventually I just put don't the book and say "nope, can't do it".

His writing style is definitely his own. His earlier novels were easier to read, so you may want to try The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. It has the dual distinction of being both populist (something like 30,000,000 copies sold) and well-regarded (TIME magazine All Time 100 Novels).

If someone is coming from a generic-thriller background (ie. Ludlum, Silva, Brown, Crichton, Grisham, etc.), then I recommend The Night Manager. I think it's his most mainstream and his fastest-paced one--and I use the term 'fast-paced' lightly, as le Carr

NA, your tastes seem to be right in line with mine
