Read any good ones lately? I recently read Mercedes Lackey's "Fire
and Ash" and while she has a demoralizing tendency to
over-explain, I found it a refreshing rewrite of the classic
Cinderella story.

Just finished Robert Jordan's latest, which I can't exactly recall the name
of, and Christopher Paolini's "Eldest". I thought both were good, despite
everyone saying the Robert Jordan one was lousy.....

I haven't read the Jordan book yet although I love the series.
What's "Eldest" about? Scifi? Fantasy?

Haven't read that one. Recommend her "The Fairy Godmother" however.

It was. Saphira, stolen as an egg from Galbatorix, who destroyed the
former Dragon Riders. She chose Eragon, a farmer, to be her Rider, and
together they go off to see if they can find someone to train them as Rider
and Dragon. It's nice to see a story where dragons are not all evil, nor
are they stupid animals..... I don't know if it would make a good movie,
but I'd like to see it if it is.....

The thing is though is that if it's popular and people choose to
keep thiner copies instead of selling them, I wont' find them at
that kind of store :) And I'm unwilling to buy books new, I just
don't have the funds. I can get 3 books used instead of 1 new.

hard to explaine really.. the book belongs to one of the many series she
has written about the same world. a world in which magic exists cause of
the dragons that live there and in the 'Nimbus' (think of something like
the astral plane). that particular book belongs in the 'Stargods"
series, mainly following 3 brothers who crashlanded their spaceship
(based far in the future) on a planet populated with primitive humans. A
dragon did appear briefly in chapter 1, but thats been it...
something along those lines...

Yeah, they are rather scarce in the first book. A little more common as the
trilogy progresses (I finished The Dragon's Revenge a while back).

Lets see....
A Host of Dragons a couple of weeks ago,
The Dragon's Revenge a few weeks ago,
Dragoncharm, Dragonstorm, Dragonflame, and Stone & Sky a few months back
Eldest back just after I got it (August?)
Beyond that, mostly textbooks and the rules for Aberrant.

Robin Hobb has some interesting work involving dragons. In the Farseer
trilogy, the whole story sort of built up to a dragon theme. An interesting
approach, I must say. Mainly focused on dragons in the third book,
Assassin's Quest, but the others, Assassin's Apprentace and Royal Assassin,
are still worth a read. Bit of death there, too, if you haven't noticed...
And lo and behold, while on holidays I was cruising a used book store, and
found another trilogy sort of picking up where the others left off by the
same author. And while this is a bit off topic, I also read a good book from
the author who wrote the Dragons of Pern series (Anne Macaffery I think?).
It is called The Rowan. Anyone heard of it? Oh, an interesting book I recall
reading a few years ago was titled Dragon's Tear by Sue Lawson. Aimed
probably for younger readers, but still has a good (and slightly sad)
storyline. There is also Dragonfang and Dragonlinks by Paul Collins, but I
dont think they actaully have much to do with dragons.

Don't have any books signed, and not likely to get any signed either. Not
because I don't want to per se, but because I just don't have the time nor
do I live in an area where books I'd want signed can be signed.

Yes. Quite interesting. I wasn't expecting this style of writing from her,
so it was a good (and surprising) change of pace for a fantasy junkie like
me.

Unfortunately, I don't read as much as I would like, so this is over the
past few months (whereas at one point I'd consume at least this much per
week).
Dragon-related:
Dragonstorm by Graham Edwards -- I stopped reading this in the middle and
haven't had the will to pick it up again. Not that it's bad--rather the
opposite; I care about the characters a lot, so reading it gets me rather
wrought up.
Nonfiction (curiously, I don't read much non-dragon-related fiction
anymore...):
The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis -- Believe it or not, I have not read
the Chronicles of Narnia (nor seen the recent movie), but I own and have
read probably about 95% of the rest of Lewis's books. This is one of his
religious essays; overall decent, although some parts were more
convincing than others.
Beyond Fear by Bruce Schneier -- Halfway through this; reading when I get
time. Recommended pretty strongly so far. Schneier is a noted expert in
computer security; the tagline of the book is "Thinking Sensibly about
Security in an Uncertain World." Essentially, it's a book about just
that--how to think about security (not just computer security: personal
security, home security, any type of security...it's aimed at a non-
technical audience), especially in the context of many recent security-
related initiatives (TSA, DHS, RFID passports, electronic voting...).

While we're on the topic of books, I've decided to pick all you brains and
want to know if anyone has stumbled across any decent fantasy books? I mean
ones that I can really get stuck in to? I seem to have developed a penchant
for medieval fantasy in the last few months, but anything with a decent
plotline and believable characters will do for me. Any ideas?
