That's awesome. I'm in Nottingham so a bit away from Exeter but it's a lovely city

I started listening to the first Mistborn novel by Brandon Sanderson.

Mistborn is pretty good. I think I like his Stormlight Archives better.

I'm sure you're right...I've read both SA books :)

Just started reading Helene Wecker's "The Golem and the Jinni". Absolutely riveting.

The forums have blown up since "The Great Return". It's nice to activity again (well that doesn't involve blood feuds).

I haven't heard of The Great Return. Who's the author? ;)

Right now it appears to be penned by @WetRats and @little_witch . But who knows, those are probably just nom de plumes

You challenged, therefore I get to choose the weapons. Swords.

But swords are sharp. That might hurt. And come to think of it, dawn is kind of early. How about FunNoodles at, say, 4:00-ish?

Excuse me. I'll correct my statement

"Right now it appears to be penned by ~~@WetRats and~~ @little_witch . But who knows, that is probably just nom de plume"

NO! I will have justice!

What kind of tea?

mwhitt80 · October 2016

So I was thinking about reading some Dan Abnett Warhammer 40k novels. I've got no clue about 40k so I picked up the first Omnibus in Horus series (only the first book is written by Abnett) and a book called first and only.

I figured one of you knows about this stuff any guidance?

Somebody on here reads the books but I can't remember who it is now. Yeah, I've been tempted to get into them too but there are SO MANY.

No joke. my wife and i were in Barnes and Noble when I decided to try it. It took 15 minutes for me to try to figure out what to get.

I figured there were about 30 of the Horus books so that must be an important series Abnett wrote book one. Then it looked like Abnett wrote all the books in the otger series; I think that one is about space pirates.

Im going to start one of those after I finish Razor Girl.

Mark_Engblom · October 2016

Just in time for Halloween, Dan Simmons' "Children of the Night", a suspense/sci-fi tale exploring the concept of scientifically-based vampires and how they connect into the Dracula legend.

mwhitt80 · November 2016

@WetRats have you read Razor Girl by Hiaasen yet?
Cause I just finished it and really liked the book.
Also you suck because I've read books while you were gone that I desperately wanted to discuss with you in your absence.

Sorry about that. :disappointed:

There's a new Hiaasen! Yay! Next stop: library website.

Speaking of favorite writers, I got to meet Sarah Vowell last week.

She was already my #1 celebrity crush.

So smart. So funny. So gloriously odd.

It stars Health Inspector Yancy from Bad Monkey. I really liked it.

I had to look her up, I recognized her as soon as I saw her picture. It's Violet from the Incredibles.

She is both amused and disappointed that Violet trumps all her other work. I still don't think she realizes what a brilliant performance she gave.

See if you can hear me laughing.

Sarah Vowell - always enjoyed hearing her on This American Life. Cutest voice ever.
