What are you reading?

Postby MoDyna » Mon Dec 22, 2003 10:17 pm

I grew up reading Science Fiction, all the old masters Asimov, Poul Anderson, etc you name it I read it. Now I'm pretty much into military Sci-Fi. Currently reading David Drake's "Paying the Piper" a Hammer's Slammers novel. But a fairly new writer on the scene is John Ringo. He started a series with "A Hymn Before Battle" followed by "Gust Front", "When the Devil Dances" and the final book out in hard cover now. If you like military Sci-Fi, it does not get any better then this.

Ringo has also written a series with David Weber. They are "March Upcountry", "March to the Sea" and coming out soon "March to the Stars". Weber on his own wrote the "The Shiva Option". If you like Sci-Fi, I highly recommend this novel. I not really into the fantasy side of Sci-Fi, although I have read some L.E. Moddesitt and some Anne McCaffrey when I was younger. Her "PERN" novels were kinda neat.

Fiction wise I like Dale Brown. Got started with his "Flight of the Old Dog" and have read everything he has written since. Alot of other authors in this field and I read them as time permits.

How about you guy's/gal's?

The Scarlet Letter

One of the most uneventful books I have ever read, stupid school and their assigned books to read.

I was just going through that the other day, and
the 'planning offenses' chapter has a paragraph
or 2 that described the BOB match (#2) pretty well.
Kind of interesting that his observations are relevant.

Have you read the book by Miyamoto Musashi "A Book of Five Rings". I liked the "Art of War" as well.
