I'm too busy to read quite this much, but I did just acquire Collapse and The World Until Yesterday by Jared Diamond, so they should prove interesting.

I haven't been reading much. In my defense, I haven't had time to study for tests either.

@Arx, you might try Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's the reason I've not yet read The Name of the Wind

I've been meaning to for... over a year, but the library doesn't have the first one and I don't want to spend money without checking whether I like it.

Eeeeh? I can't believe it's week 13 already! I need to cut down on the booze if I want to do this. And wasting time on reading old threads on Bay12 isn't helping either.

Anyway: Twelve weeks in and seven books down... oh well. ::)

If you have an Amazon.com account, I could loan you my kindle copy.
The only issue is that I can lend it once and only for 14 days. But depending on you reading speed it should be enough.

Hm. I don't, but it's tempting. I've been thinking about it anyway; the only problem is that I don't have kindle or a tablet, and I detest reading on my phone.

I'll look it up and get back to you. Thanks for the offer!

You know, I would really like a series of gritty fantasy novels that don't make everything about sex and rape. That only briefly mention sex and don't have any rape, even.



Ways of Dying is weird. It's like the story of a homeless man, the hostel wars, a prostitute, and the villages, through a series of stories about people dying and one meta-story.
