Children of Hurin was good. Even if mostly recycled material. I think it would make excellent movie stock, except I'd dread hollywood raping it.

edit: I honestly believe the Lay of the Children of Hurin is superior to the Lay of Leithian. By several orders of magnitude. It's so much more... complex and dark and not just a glorified fairytale.

I really liked Children of Hurin, and I think Hollywood would be able to make something decent out of it, as long if they didn't do their whole happy ending thing and warp the book :|

Same here, I didn't really like it. The end was decent but everything else was pretty gay.

What haji said. GRRM is beyond awesome. Also good to know that Preston and Child have a new one.

Just finished

Mixed feelings on this one. The author is obviously talented (GRRM cites him as one of his main influences) but the content does not live up to his ability. Very solid world-building, characters of assorted quality, awful pace.

Currently reading

Excellent so far, though it seems a little weaker than "A Deepness in the Sky."

The Faerie Queene ! That's a good idea for my next book, too.

Thanks, Pholon~

I've to quote this too. Read them a few years ago in German and started now to read the original books (hoping Dance of Dragons will be released this year). I'm currently at A Clash of Kings and enjoy them all over again.
