Undermajordomo Minor, by Patrick deWitt.

Weird, weird, weird... I liked it.

Station Eleven. Exceptional.

True on both accounts :) As the pleasure of reading derives from the first and is only slightly impeded by the second, I allow myself to be a gullible reader :)

I am very much enjoying the Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis. Set in ancient Rome, the books are about an informer (detective) who has all sorts of adventures, woes and troubles in love and...

I'm re-reading the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb and enjoying it even more than the first time.

Same opinion on both points.

Rather obviously, I'm a big fan of P. G. Wodehouse... my cell phone rings with the BBC series theme song.

Bank on-topic, I'm reading Metro 2033, a post-apocalyptic...

Miss Buncle's Book - I really needed such a reading these days (a holiday is past its due time), made me smile all along.

My 2p about Lee Child - tons of foreplay and no climax.

More on-topic, I've started reading 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever'. Looks promising.

Thanks for the referrals. I tend to stay away from werewolves and vampires stories - me being from Transylvania does not help much... But I might as well give it a shot :)

Joe Abercrombie is a masterful writer. I wish though that there wouldn't be such an overdose of bleak, dark cynicism.

Anyhoo. I've recently read 'English passengers' by Matthew Kneale - a...

I keep reading like mad the 'Codex Alera' series by Jim Butcher. An excellent, excellent fantasy series (6 volumes...)

IMO, the best creation of Robin Hobb so far. I also enjoyed the other trilogies, but the first one is exceptional. If you consider to give the genre some more chances, you might consider Patrick...

The 'Codex Alera' series by Jim Butcher. A rather unconventional setting for fantasy literature, in a world similar to the Roman empire. Very, very well written.

Me too, 484 pages in. Having just read the 4 before it, by the time i've finished it will be over 5000 pages straight of the same story and it's been un-put-downable. Brilliant books.[/quote]

Fighting my way through George R R Martin's 'A dance with dragons'. It took him quite a while to finally write it down... Anyway, I rather enjoy it.

Just came back from Transylvania, Sighisoara - it's the city where Vlad the Impaler (the guy who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula) was born. Nice place btw, and one of the eldest still inhabited...

Agincourt would be an excellent place to start, makes you proud to be English[/quote]

Read it recently. Quite enjoyable even though I'm not an Englishman :)

Am reading now 'Memory,Sorrow and...
