Currently reading "A Peoples Tragedy" by Orlando Figes about the Russian Revolution.

Its a bit hard going to be honest but I am struggling through.

Its also very, very grim.

Last book i read was "A Terrible Glory" about General Custer and the Little Big Horn. This was a fantastically easy to read even though the subject matter was (in parts) pretty upsetting.

If i ever manage to get through A People Tragedy, i will be having a bit of rest bite by reading the "Game of Thrones" novels. I am not particularly interested in Fantasy, but having just finished the TV series (and LOVING IT with every fibre of my being) I think I will read the books.

PS

Thanks to Bren2k for informing me (on another thread) that series was actually based on the Novels. :thumb:

Just finished reading the Commissaire Adamsberg series of novels by Fred Vargas.
I can normally take or leave crime fiction, but I've lapped these up one after another due to the combination of a decent plot that moves along fairly quickly, a historical slightly gothic undercurrent, off-beat but likeable characters and great humour.

Happy to have helped, albeit unwittingly!

The novels are not the best fantasy fiction I've ever read, and I've read a lot; they're weighty and at times, rather dull.

In a genre littered with cliches and repetition, I'd heartily recommend Steven Erikson - grown up, intelligent fantasy, that avoids all the usual stuff about destinies, quests and mystical elves; fantastic stuff!
