I just got a glut of books for Christmas. It's ridiculous, really.

The Great Book of Amber by Zelazny
The High Crusade by Poul Anderson
Some Mars books by E. Rice Burroughs
The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, and
The Conquering Sword of Conan by R. E. Howard
an awesome compilation of H.G. Wells' novels. this one --->http://search.barnesandnoble.com/HG-Wells/H-G-Wells/e/9781435114906/?itm=1&USRI=hg+wells+seven+novels
some other scifi as well as the spooky western stories of Howard and a collection of the "best of C. Ashton Smith"

Seeing as how I'm back at work monday, this is going to take me a while. However, I do still have an intense urge to use my gift card to pick up the beautiful EC Archive hardback collections of Weird Science and Tales from the Crypt.

Anyone else pick up some good reading? I'm always on the look out for some Science Fantasy, if anyone has recommendations.

I'm reading two books right now:

Lois McMaster Bujold's fantasy series, the Sharing Knife. I'm on book 4. It's pretty damn good.

But not as awesome as Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs novels. I'm reading Woken Furies and it ROCKS.

Holy crap that sounds awesome. Thanks for the link.



"I still have some Christmas money, honey..."

The Simarillion (again) then The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings
and Hrolf Kraki's Saga by Poul Anderson.

Currently I'm re-reading my way through the Flashman books, starting at the beginning.

Lone Star Noir, which I got for Christmas, is at the top of the heap. Then I'm overdue to dive back into the Del Rey reprints of the Elric stories (especially now that the last book is out) and REH's stuff. I've let myself slack off far too much on the reading front.

Read the Game of Thrones series AGAIN! by George R R Martin. Whenever that old fart decides to finish the series. Yes Im bitter!!!

Books of Lost Swords by Fred Saberhagen.

Switching to some horror- The New Dead by Christopher Golden. (I like Zombies.)

Shadows of Death, an assortment of H.P. Lovecraft stories.

Conan the Barbarian, an assortment of R.E. Howard Conan tales

Exile by R.A. Salvatore. I never would have thought fighting illithid could be soooooo boring. Just reading it in the hopes of seeing what the fuss is all about. As of yet, i dont see it.

The Shadow Rising, by Robert Jordan. Like the Salvatore book, just reading it to see what the fuss is all about. And like the Salvatore book, i dont get it.

Re-reading Corsair by Chris Bunch.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
