Good good
I'm reading some fantasy book, screw me if I remember the title or the author... I just began this morning on a crapper, all I know that it's about the early steps of some mage, and it's about this big (/me showing how big it is with my hands)

Well im trying to read Tad Williams - Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series. IN two years i hardly made it throug the first three books, now im stuck on the fourth and thankfully last book, and i just cant go on, its simply to boring, to blablablabla, and the annoying thing, which most fantasy authors do these days, is they put characters in these situations, out of which you know, he could get himself out easily, and you know he knows, everybody knows, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he simply doesn't... or they go into situation which are so plainly only for plot progression, totally out of character....

Yeah, Williams is rather heavy stuff... I wouldn't call it boring, but it certainly requires more concentration than I have to spare. My wife likes reading his stuff, I prefer something lighter

ALLRGHT, popcorn fantasy the forgotten realms, excellent! Please dont tell me your a D&D playa?!!?! I like their series, it like its fuuuuuuuul of magic and whatnot, and their worlds are better made than most of the new age epic fantasy writers, which in my opinion write to much, beginning with Jordan and his fucking Wheel of time series!

Just finished Summer of Night by Dan Simmons Great stuff, although a little slow-paced. I got it by accident, I didn't even know that he wrote horror stuff, I remember his Hyperion series was great reading some time ago...
Someone should base a movie on this book, it would be awesome.

i have been fighting throught the pages of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn: book four, the green angel tower by Tad Williams. I have been reading this book on and off the past two years. recently i picked it up again, and tried to continue but failed again. I made it a challange now to read it in the next five years. its sooooooo booooooooooooooring. its again the new age fantasy crap, a quadrology (i still dont know how i read through the first three parts). Where exitment and revelations are all cramped in the last50 pages of the book while the rest 800 are just blablablablablablabla. AGRHHHADFSHSFD
Tolkien was the first and the best and nobody can top him.

Just finished " I Kill" aka Io uccido by Italian Giorgio Faletti.
Very intrigued reading!
Quote: During his show, Jean-Loup Verdier, a famous Radio Montecarlo disc-jockey, receives a call from a man who declares live on radio that he's planning to commit a crime. That very night, Formula One racing driver, Jochen Welder, and his fianc?e, Arijane Parker, a famous chess player, are murdered: both victims' faces are completely removed by the killer to make...

Sounds interesting! Too bad it's written in Italian... I don't quite speak Italian (I can only order food and drink in restaurants ), and I always prefer reading books in their original language. Something always gets lost in translation

Depends on the translators skill. And I didn't read it in Italian and was happy with it.
But then you can see it and hope the movie translation is better then Da Turd Code...

Ah... Being a translator myself, I beg to differ. No matter how good the translator is, he can not translate the atmosphere that can be achieved by using specific words in the original text, because he hasn't got the same vocabulary at disposal. Not to mention some word-plays that I, being a Pratchett fan, always love to see
Of course, if the translator is good you will not end up like some really amusing translations like I've encountered (speaking of Dan Brown books, the Croatian translation of Digital Fortress is something to cry over ), but no matter how skilled he is - it can never be as good as the original text. Even if I'm translating it

Thanks for reminding me of this one, need to re-read it. I don't know how long ago I read that book but I'm afraid that it might be quite close to 20 years

No, I haven't. I found this one ("Day...") in the attic among other old SF books (my father used to read a lot of SF stuff when he was young) and I read it. I didn't even know that there was a sequel to it (that is a sequel, right?).
As I said, I'll have to re-read the "Day..." and then I'll try to locate "Night..." in local libraries
