I'm reading this thread.

Kidding. I'm reading Eleanor and Park for my high-school book club. Best young adult romance I've read in a while.

Oh SWEET. Haven't seen a reading thread since GD was first created.

Firstly, Drizzt Do'Urden takes me back. Shame there's so many parodies and copies of it now, but gosh it was a staple.
I should read whatever Salvatore's up to now. I heard Entrerei did a thing.


However, what I'm currently reading is the Iron Druid Chronicles, by Lean Hearn.
My first impressions, second impressions and current impressions all basically boil down to "It's the Dresden Files pumped up on Mary Sue."

For those who haven't read the Dresden Files, go do it. (If you like contemporary fantasy. Or just if you like character development in general.)

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Yeah, that was my take on it too.

I've just read Call of Cuthulhu. Wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was pretty good nonetheless.
I prefer The Colour out of Space, myself.

I'm about two-thirds of the way through The Making of Modern Japan. Utterly fascinating, especially the sections on Japan's isolationist period. The popular view of Japan from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries is of a backwards hermit kingdom that had no contact with the outside world. This wasn't really true- Japanese isolationism was mainly isolationism from the West; many a military adventure was had in Korea, and contact with China remained vigorous.

Also, fun factoid: the world's largest city in 1800 was probably Edo/Tokyo, with a million people or more. Not really backwards.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I somehow originally read this as Dr. Drizzt.

Well to be fair, he is a bit of a surgeon.
