Sheffield, City of University and Northern-ness

In the last week, because I was on holiday:

Mortal Engines series (2 + 3) - Philip Reeve

The Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb (nothing to do with eldar)

technically I was re-reading the farseer trilogy, which I should have done much earlier than now, because they are by far my favourite series of books.

I would recommend them to anyone who likes Fantasy

[EDIT] Also "Mechanicum" by Graham Mcneill

Gathering the Informations.

Finished two things actually.

Simon R. Green's "From Hell, With Love"(frickin' Jim Butcher inspired ending, without going into spoilers)
and "Side Jobs", the compilation of all the Harry Dresden/Thomas Raith short stories. "Aftermath", which takes place some 20 minutes after the end of "Changes", really took the cake.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Haven't posted in a while, but I did finish the Robot Series. I'm now moving on:



I'm about 2/3 of the way through Foundation's Edge now. And to be honest, despite what people in my FLGS have said about it, the later Foundation novels are really pretty good. I love that Foundation's Edge has been fleshing out the Second Foundation much more than the second and third novels did. It's really very interesting getting a deeper look into how the Second Foundation works.

For my 40k fix, I'm reading:

Concurrently, I've been reading:

A very deep study of religion, mysticism and magic and their history and interrelatedness. A must read for anyone interested in the history of religions.

Sneaky Kommando






Sweden

I just finished reading the Rocky anthology. No, this is not the Rocky Balboa of Stallone fame, it's a Swedish comic that I think is somewhat popular here and there in the world.

http://www.rocky-digital.com/

It's an amazing autobiography in comic form. The author chronicles what he and his friends do, then he makes comics out of it. Incredibly cynical and depressing at times, and absolutely hilarious. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

The anthology I have is every single strip that was drawn in 1998-2008.
