Don't give up on the liveship series. It is fantastic. It is better if you have read the Assassins series that she did first. It is hard to get through at first, but I felt it built brilliantly well into a great story.

Lately I have been rereading the entire Terry Pratchett Discworld works. I have also read a few older sci-fi books like Philip K. Dick etc.

Would you guys think I was insane if I told you I had digital copies of all the Epic books on my phone, and regularly flip through them and read them? Especially the older ones? Like Adeptus Titanicus, Space Marine, and Codex Titanicus. Even some White Dwarf articles. I have been flipping through those books one way or another for over 20 years now. I feel like everytime I do, I notice some minor detail I missed or forgot, and I never get tired of it.

No other game has captured my imagination for so long as that system.

Yes that's weird. I have them on my iPad and don't think I'd enjoy them as much on a phone-sized screen.

I've also been reading the Horus Heresy novels and some of them are pretty good. The starting trilogy starts more strongly than it ends, but I liked it (didn't care for the 4th book, Flight of the Eisenhorn). The First Heretic makes the motivation behind the Heresy easier to understand. I've also heard good things about Fulgrim and Vengeful Spirit.

Legion and Prospero Burns were aceballz. Largely because the narators are not Marines (who are boring in their own; it's the juxtaposition with regular humanity that's interesting). Oh and very little bolter-porn (yay!). Furst Heretic was great too. The way they made the Word Bearers tragic was great.

Onto adultish literature I just read 9 Parts of Desire. A book about women, classical Islam, and modernity. AWESOME

Speaking of Horus Heresy, Know No Fear stood out for me.

I have tried desperately to read the HH, but I just cant get that into the first book. I even tried to listen to the audio book, but got put off with that as well. Its ok (writing wise) but nothing seems to happen. They all stand around talking about how awesome they are, bathing in moonlight. I kept expecting them to take their kit off and start washing each other.

I fully expected the first half of book one to be full on action and excitement.

Instead I got what I believe (as an English person) goes on in a American frat house, but for space marines, for 50 pages.
