Well another installment. I guess I skipped last week already but with good reason. It was super busy at work with Froshweek. It's kinda weird hearing all the old frosh songs but with different building names then I'm use too. Almost wants to make me go back to school again. Sigh. Anyways onto the Blog.
The topic this week is novels and what I'm reading. At the moment I just finished book 2 of the Legends of Dune prelude. It shows the starting of the House Atreides and the great Jihad against the robots. Very interesting stuff if you liked dune or one of the two movies. (althought the 80's movies is pretty wierd esp with that strange screaming girl). The more recent movie series was excellent.
Other book series I am delving into include the New Jedi order series for Star Wars with the most up to date story set like 25 years after the movies, Chewie's dead and so is Anakin Solo... it was an interesting 20 book storyline meant for a more adult audience . A new book just came out after that series so i must pick it up soon.
A game of thrones series is fantasy at it's best but each book is very long and moves along very quickly and i highly endorse it. Lots of battles, intrigue, and royal houses fighting for the throne. Much better then the highly spoken of Wheel of time series by Jordan which just drags on and on just to get anywhere. i am on book 8 of that series and will finish it just to find out what happens but grudgingly. I guess those are my big 4 novel series at the moment but I have a few more i;d like to start but may not have enough time for them all. I have been intrigued by the Honor Herrington books about space navel battles though. We shall see. any suggestions of good novels or series that you have read?
Well I finished the Dune Prequal Prequal Series (yup a prequal to a prequal). Very good back ground to the world. So what is next, well I've started watching Stargate SG-1 that I haven;t seen since I was in grade 12 (it was season one). I think it will be good but hard to watch 9 seasons in a row. I think the next series I watch will be more of sliders or Highlander.
