I am reading "The hero of ages" by Brandon Sanderson but I just picked up his new release "The way of Kings" and "Warbreaker" at a book signing and got my whole mistborn trilogy signed and my two new books as well. He was a really great guy, he took his time with each signing, allowing everyone to ask him a few questions and discuss things and even gave some advice to aspiring writers. The line was slow but it was definitely worth it. I got #551 of The way of kings =) I am excited.

Really? I was the opposite. Though I feel that the reason might be because I see Huxley's prediction being closer to today's society than 1984.

I just finished the new Dan Brown book, The hidden symbol or some shit like that. I don't recommend it at all, the book was so damn obvious, i figured out the big shocker that they mention on page like 446 on page like 100.

Right now i'm currently reading "A game of Thrones" from the series "A Song of Ice and Fire" so far its been very good. They are also making a HBO series on it which will obviously be amazing since HBO can't make a bad tv show even if they tried.

I really don't know if Martin will ever finish the series... It's taking him forever to finish writing/publish A Dance with Dragons.

I haven't read much about the series, that's cool that it's not over, i knew there were like at least 4 books out since my brother had them all. I went on vacation and i needed a book to read and he was bugging me to read the series. I'm not disappointed. P.S. I'm sure Martin will get it done lol

Currently:

Tales of the otori, grass for his pillow.

In fact check out the entire series, it's really good. And if your a fan of the japanese novel kind of ting, look at a book called shogun, it's hands down my most favorite book of all time.

This is one of the best series i have ever read. All the books are great and the whole series keeps you on the edge of your seat. Definitely one everyone should read if you like that genre.

Yes, it's the endless joke now that humanity will be dead and long gone, and Martin will still be there with two cockroaches and a typewriter.

It's a fantastic series and I heartily recommend it, but it's gotten to the point where I feel more comfortable pointing people to Malazan Book of the Fallen for their epic fantasy needs. The tenth and final book will be published in 2011, while Martin is still struggling with number five.
