I meant figuratively, but thanks for loading my mind up with that image...

Finished reading Summer Queen (by Joan D. Vinge, cover illustrations by Michael Whelan), quite like the end(s) and it sea-calfs . ;) :tsup:

There's a catching bookmark...

Currently reading the complete Shakespeare collection. I started with the tragedies like Hamlet, King Lear and such... and right now I'm half-way through Othello.

Just finished The Prince of Nothing trilogy; only to discover it is part of a *triple* trilogy of which 5 books still need to be written :mad:
That means I'm in for a frustrating wait.

To anyone looking for a decent series to read; I can highly recommend this one. Quite a refreshing type of fantasy with one of the main characters being a follower of the path of Logos, providing interesting views on determinism and human logic in general.

Yes, it is, especially considering the publication date. :)

I got a bit bored with Shakespeare, so I went downtown and got myself a really nice edition of Egilssoga (Egil's saga), the story of Egil Skallagrimson. I like that. :)

Dracula... who didn't actually live in Transylvania... Bukovina is part of Moldova if we go by the Transylvania/Moldova/Wallachia/Dobruja bit.

And now for something completely different.

I'm rereading Dan Brown's Deception Point.

Wanna repeat your last sentence, TT? :D

Well, I just figured that so many people quote the guy without ever having read any of his actual plays, so I decided to actually read all of it. I'm doing the same thing with other classics; for instance I have already read all the Sherlock Holmes adventures. What to move on to after Shakespeare I have no idea.

Why reread it? I myself read it, and I liked it, but don't think it's re-readsworthy.
