TwinbornDavid

I'm a proud father of 2 daughters, programmer extrordinaire, eagle scout, lover of books, nature, gaming, and trivia. I'm a little (lot) on the slow side of reading since I have a 4 year old and a baby, but would love the opportunity to chat with you about the books I've read and any you have to recommend!

    David, thanks for your recommendations for books to read, I'll add them to my wish list. I've accumulated so many books over the last couple of years that I've several years of reading ahead of me if i don't buy any new titles which I know I will do. So many books, so little time. READ ON...

    David, I'd be happy to discuss the books I've read with you but must warn you that many of the books on my shelf were read when I was a young man so my recall might be spotty. But please ask away. READ ON...

    Well I'm about a fourth through Hobb, and only through the first chapter in Herbert, but both are adding up to the hype! Dreamsongs is entertaining, but not quite gripping. I usually read a tale or two in between books.

    As far as the future of ASOIAF I'm wondering how Martin can realistically continue such an ongoing war. The fight in Westeros has been so epic that you would have to think there's nobody left, and the people have to be getting fed up with the higher-borns sending them to death (maybe a certain religious group that just gained permission to have an army ;) ). You can also see how Martin is rapidly moving west to bring Daeneries into the big picture (the iron islands, Dorne, Tyrion, Arya, Sam). He's probably moving over there because there is a lot more people left alive that need to die in an epic battle. In the end I'm thinking everyone mingles off east by the end of ADWD, and Danny heads to Westeros by the end of book 6. So I'm hoping the series concludes with Lord Snow (last of my beloved Starks) fighting off the others, and he might have some dragons on his his side ;). LETS JUST HOPE JON DIES A GLORIOUS DEATH!!! I MEAN THE WAY NED AND ROBB DIED MADE ME WANT TO BURN THE BOOKS. (I didn't however because they were just too good.)

    Same to you, a week late! My kids haven't let me get near the computer for ages (they seem to think that they need it far more than I do). I guess I'll have to invest in a laptop. Got a Blackberry for Christmas but I find it difficult to navigate on and sloooowwww. Back to my afternoon meetings! Kiss the kids (and the wife), cherish them for all you're worth, they are your true wealth.

    Thanks! I'm looking forward to it! I read The Stupidest Angel earlier in the year and enjoyed his sense of humor, so I've picked up a lot of his books lately.

    We really do like the same books! You'll love Christopher Moore! He was one of our local authors so his books are set around the Central Coast of California. He writes some very funny stuff. I especially liked Coyote Blues. As far as I'm concerned, Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are the bomb! It's sad that he is so ill now (Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia). At a period of time when my teenage son was going through a rough spot in his life, I gave him a picture book by Terry Pratchett called "Where's My Cow", the book that Sam Vimes reads to his son every night and saw him smile for the first time in weeks. He's 19 now and it's still on his bookshelf in his room! He's going to Community College right now so doesn't have as much time to read but we still enjoy the same types of books. It has been a real connection for us and the font of hundreds of inside jokes. Hope your kids are doing well, read them "Where's My Cow".

    I added A Clash of Kings to my wish list on three trading sites. It's not available on any of them though. :( I do have a $10 Amazon gift card I've been saving, so maybe I'll just use that and order a copy. When I finish the next one, I will definitely let you know. :) Thanks again for the recommendation!
