What Every Body Is Saying by Joe Navarro. Very interesting bok on body language and getting a good read on people.
-------------------- And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.” |

This is possibly my favorite book ever. Although some of his later work leaves a bit to be desired, this is certainly amongst his finest books along with the Serpent War and the Empire trilogy. I.m.o. anyway :-) I think it's a brilliant book, fantastically written, easily one of the best I've read. He manages to convey the fantastic without it seeming implausible, despite the scale involved, and with some damn good characters. I'm currently reading A Darkness At Sethanon, and I've almost finished it. I haven't got any of his others though, just that first trilogy. I've got them on Kindle, and 5 or so per ebook strikes me as a little on the expensive side. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

Just started reading Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I borrowed it to my iPad from the library. I have enjoyed a few of his other stories, including a retelling of an old Norse myth called Odd and the Frost Giants which is a combination of a book and a bit of a graphic novel. It's not a Disneyfied "happily ever after." Rather, it's an excellent tale of growth and maturity, and over just a bit too soon. In any case, love Neil Gaiman.

Anyone know any smartphone apps for audio books? My Kindle app doesn't do those apparently, and I'd really like to listen to a book while working.

Whatever free books Mrs. Treydog adds to the Kindle (the ones I do not delete immediately- OK there are only a FEW of those...)
And "Thereby Hangs a Tail" by Spencer Quinn. Book 2 of the Chet and Bernie mystery series. Chet is a dog and the stories are told from his point of view. The writer has definitely spent a great deal of time with dogs... And he writes a good story. -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...

Just picked up a 2 copy of War and Peace from a charity shop, which should probably tide me over quite nicely until 2014 rolls around.

I'm excited to read an elder scrolls novel. Sadly I couldn't find Lord Of The Souls though After this, if I haven't found Lord Of The Souls, I'm gonna read Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick -------------------- Bruh ☠️

Has anyone read The Infernal City? I would do it but that means breaking the seal on my Skyrim Premium Edition

Yup...
It being Greg Keyes, it is - by definition - awesome... ...Honestly though...The two of them are really good books...Definitely worth reading...It's not how I'd have carried on the Oblivion storyline... However, if you take it as a proper published fan-fic, then we're all good... ... |

I have to agree with McBadgere, they're both good books.
Now if we can just get more people to agree, Mirocu should want to read it more, and watching Mirocu's desire to read the book versus his collector impulses is fun.

Still on War and Peace. Judging by my current progress, my hopes that it would all be over by Christmas are both depressingly and appropriately accurate.
