Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb


Personally, I don't think it's as good as her Six Duchies books; this reads more like a historical fiction than a fantasy. :-/

Where Do We Go from Here? by Isaac Asimov 

[archaic]

Hmm, I haven't sat down and read a book in a long while. Most of the books I've looked at recently, have been reference books or manuals.

Currently plowing through Peter F. Hamilton's Pandora's Star, the first book of his Commonwealth Saga. I've previously read the Night's Dawn trilogy and the Greg Mandel books by the same author. These things are long!

I loved the fifth book (Order of the Phoenix). I still remember the first time I've read it...

So far, my favorite is "Chamber of Secrets".

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky
Quite interesting book about near future in Moscow after some unspecified events. I'd even say it's not fiction, but reality, which can happen.

George Orwell - 1984.
This book causes frost to run over my back. I'm not sure, whether one who has no experience with totalitarian constitution can understand this book well, but in my country everyone know what it is about. I perfectly understand, why Orwell had problems to publish this book. Same with Animal Farm. Both these books describe reality in some countries at some time more than perfectly.

George Orwell - 1984.
... Animal Farm

I read both and both is really very good and interesting. Moreover, Animal farm is very interesting allegorical novella.

Andrzej Sapkowski: The Witcher, 2nd book (Sword of Destiny). Very good book of stories. Looking forward to other books of this serie, it's pleasure to read it.

Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and the Sea

The Begum's Fortune by Jules Verne

[Stranger Come Knocking]

The Blood Mirror (Lightbringer #4) by Brent Weeks


First three books were awesome.  Weeks created a brilliant world and a (reasonably) believable plot that was supposed to be all brought to bear in book four.  I don't mind it if an author has to break one climactic book into two climactic books, but book four is just...awful.  There's a war going on and nothing is happening.  This book is almost entirely filler and the major plot points and "twists" are completely illogical and even wildly out of character.  Unless book five explains all of this and brings it back full circle, just...I hate it when good books unravel at the very end like this. ;_;
