Reading list, plus some movies

[danaeris]

I recently finished reading:
-The New Glucose Revolution Guide to Living Well with PCOS; I definitely recommend it to anyone who has this syndrome
-A Wizard Alone, the sixth fabulous installment in the wizardly world of Diane Duane

I am in the middle of reading:
-The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense
-Story of O
-The Courtesans

I am about to reread, in preparation for the November 8 release of A Feast for Crows (the new book in the series):
-A Game of Thrones
-A Clash of Kings
-A Storm of Swords

Arguably, this series is where I subconsciously got the idea for my name from, as there is a character named Danaerys in it. I strongly recommend this series, btw, to all afficionados of epic fantasy. It is widely acclaimed, and for good reason.

I also have a few books lying around which I will get around to eventually: Napoleon Bonaparte (a biography), Market Forces by Richard Morgan, Blood Price by Tanya Huff, and another Guy Gavriel Kay which I have yet to read.

And books I intend to purchase in the not so distant future:
Diane Duane's Wizards Holiday, and possibly Wizards at War, though I may wait to get that until it comes out in paperback. I LOVE THIS SERIES, and have since I was young. It's aimed at Young Adults, so if you have kids in that age range who would like urban fantasy, consider it strongly.

Also, in the movie category:
Nov 11 - Rent, the movie
Nov 18 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Dec 9 - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

An excited YES! to all three.

Guy G. Kay is one of my fav's. I agree that Game of Thrones/Feast of Crows is perhaps one of the best fantasy series ever written.

I am currently reading alot of graphic fiction (all the good stuff in the library that I've never read).

have you read Jaqueline Carey's new book (the first in a new trilogy callled the Sundering) I am going to buy it anyway but i would like to hear your opinion.

I am also very very eager for Narnia.

I've loved everything by GGKay so far... hope that continues!

I have NOT read Carey's new books, actually. I should. I mean, even if it isn't hot like the Kushiel books were, if it's of the same quality, it should be worthwhile. I'm not reading as much as I used to these days though, so I don't read new books often. Still, I'm working on that! I think that reading fiction helps me be more sane. It puts things in perspective, y'know? Epic battle to save the planet vs. finishing an article. *grin*
