'World Without End' by Ken Follett. It's the sequel to 'Pillars of the Earth,' an abolute epic he wrote in '89...
This one is complete rubbish though. This is the third time I've tried to read it since I got it on release day three years ago. I will surely get to the first pathetic sex scene and throw it across the room again. Fortunately there aren't any masonite walls to damage at my new apartment. I need to start reading later in the book, but I'm afraid it'll still suck and I'll have to know about it.

Finishing off a quick reread of the Malus Darkblade omnibus and then onto "Enemy of God" the second in the Arthur series.

I would not recommend that you get the colonization series, or homeward bound. Nowhere near as good as the conquest series, and homeward bound is just... dire?
I'm currently reading Dean Koontz - Breathless, having just re-read the Commissar Cain series again.

This:
Dostoevsky - Brothers Karamazov
...which is a well-paced yarn and also an interesting peek at pre-revolution Russia - some marvellously melodramatic and overblown characters - would recommend if you've got the patience to plough through it.
oh, and this:
Ben Goldacre - Bad Science
...which is utterly superb - you must buy it right now - go on, stop what you're doing and go buy it... Right. Now.

Just finished reading "Breathless" by Dean Koontz - have to say that it is the worst book of his I have ever read. Sloppy writing, little to no plot or character development and everything seems to happen for no reason and/or is poorly explained.

Reading this and enjoying it quite a bit.
I'd always told myself I was never going to read any kind of 40k book outside of the rules and codex books after I was told they were all Space Marines winning all the time, repeat to fade, but a friend told me to try this book and let me borrow his copy.
Is it worth getting into the Horus Heresy books or are there other 40K books that come with better recommendations?
