The GOT Book Club

The Vorrh

Very unconventional fantasy, quite enjoyed some parts of it but it's weird and I'm not really sure I understood it. Second part of the trilogy is out but I'm not rushing to read it.

nearly finished this book only 2 chapters to go.i picked it up in a charity shop as a little stop gap book.i enjoyed it more as it went on as i found all the names a little confusing at the start trying to remember who was who but an interesting read of the history of the samurai.for some reason i thought the samurai were a very elite(maybe due to western films and the such)warrior class and maybe in other books they are portrayed as such but sounds like any soldier over there was a samurai.

Thanks. I thought I would read them anyway. That way I can get to find out a bit more of the characters I'm reading about right now.

There's been a couple more out more recently. Read the first, The Girl in the spiders Web, but it's not a patch on the original Larsonn books. I'll still get the second though when Tesco's have the soft back version for £3;).

One of my favourite authors, but was a bit disappointed in his War of the Roses trilogy. Probably because I was looking forward to it so much, but it failed to match my expectations.

Yeah, I'm generally trying to go digital with all my media, reduce the 'clutter' a bit, but I do like the look and feel of books (and dvds), so will keep physical copies of my favourites, and digital only of anything else I have/want. I have an Asus (I think) tablet at home, about a 5" screen, which I use for ebooks, plus can surf etc a little too.
 
Just ordered Denis Johnson's last collection of stories, the largesse of the sea maiden, published posthumously as he died last year - reviewed in a couple of the papers at the weekend and praised to the skies. Expecting it to slay, tbh - he could get a bit noodly with his longer novels but he ruled the shorter form.
