I finished Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson (Really good imo), And atm i'm reading the gunslinger by Steven King, It's freaking me out a bit tbh. I heard good things about a child called 'it' but i never got round to reading it, I may try it some time.
I got bored of the Gunslinger set, it gets a bit slow after about 3 books, of him doing I'm not entirely sure what, and definitely won't say, because I don't do destroying story lines... I'm currently reading The Sage Of Darren Shan, Again.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - i had the book for like 5 years but never really read it than i just found it a couple of days ago lol
I see what you mean about him going off track a bit. The story is really really (i can dothis all day really) Weird.
All stephen King books are like that. in a 700-page paperback he spends the first 300-ish 'setting the stage' as it will....just building up the characters and all that....its worth it since it gets reaallllly interesting after. 4th gunslinger is Wizard and Glass iirc, yeah thats the worst of them. get through it, the last 200-odd pages are good. 5th one - Wolves of the Calla is kickass. currently just finishing American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
I'm in the middle of Jonathan Kellermans crime thrillers based on Alex Delaware..I read a lot, anyone who wants a great series of books , but the ones by Lee Child on Jack Reacher, that's the best series of books i've read in my life! I LOVE IT! So addictive! So if ya like reading, get LEE CHILDS BOOKS..NOW!
