Tell me what books you are reading .. And I can tell you what kind of person you are! Is this an intellectual snobbish remark or has it a ring of truth? I have been reading Science fiction and Fantasy books for over 30 years. But, and this is a snobbish remark! I have not really been challenged intellectual when reading fantastic books. Of course a lot of this genre books have elements as moral and political issues, but it is not the main drive in the story. The entertainments sides have been a focal part in fantastic novel.

Next Read :Nights of Villjamur by Mark Charan Newton I have been postponing reading this book by Mark Charan Newton for awhile.
And it is not because I believe the book will be really bad or uninteresting.It has more to do with how people compare the book to authors that I havegreat respect for. As the publisher¹s introduction says by the publisher: "Book 1 of ‘Legends of the Red Sun’, a colourful new epic-fantasy series in the tradition of George R.R. Martin and Steven Erikson"."

Next review. "The Prince of nothing series" I would like to put R.Scott Bakker amongst authors as George R.R Martin, Erikson so I can put him in the right box. When you pick up a new book by Martin (very seldom lately) and Erikson you know you are in for a complex and revelation story. Authors that finishes off heroes as well as fiends and have at least 30 main characters’. Plot that you think you can figure out, butt turn out very differently. And since they are complex with characters that actually behave as grown up, the main audience for these books are mature ( at least over 16 :)) But Bakker has put in another element in the stories; real love with a lot of desire betrayal remorse and hate. Off course you can find all those elements in other novels. But not like Bakker touch. I believe in it. I can relate to the characters and their feelings. The next week I will write and review for all three books in the series: The Prince of Nothing ( BTW is great title)

A Dance with Dragons release date pushed again!! Great news !!(sarcasm) God knows whats going in poor George R.R Martins head. Being so close to a release. I think that you as an author commit yourself when you publish a series to the reader. It may be a bit naive, but for me it is like written agreement between the author and the reader saying that if buy my books I will finish it. If the author breaks that agreement he/she doesn't only do it as a single author but also the thrust we have to all authors that writing series. Next time when you are picking up the first novel, you might be thinking twice before buying it. Considering if you should buy the first book or just wait until the author has published the last one in the series.

Bauchelain and Korbal Broach I have to finish Steven Eriksons last book "Dust Of Dreams" so I can start reading "Bauchelain and Korbal Broach" . I am beginning to wonder if Steven are actually approximate ten persons or he his the fastest writer ever. Anyway I am always looking forward to read Steven Eriksons books. And this new book that involves three tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, the famed necromancers from the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
