Been reading alot of the Horus Heresy books but recently I stumbled across a book called The 48 Laws of Power.

It's kind of interesting.

I'm reading Gunpowder by Jack Kelly, fairly interesting book on the history of gunpowder and the impacts it has had on history. It will change your opinion of gunpowder.

I actually just finished this one last night instead of studying for my winter session midterm :\

It's prefaced with an interesting dialogue involving Christopher Nolan. It's quite easy to see how it influenced the plot of his movies.

Trying to get into this series. Having a hard time so far. Just not the type of book I usually read. Not going to give up though. Heard it is good so got to give it a fair chance.

Awesome books with some great characters

I have to agree with this one. Really enjoyed these. The first in "The Lightbringer" series was ok too but can't compare to "The Night Angel" series.

Not sure if you are only on the first book right now...but...if you are having trouble with the series BECAUSE you are on the first book, SUFFER through it! The first book is very oddly written, the rest of the series is amazing
