I've just finished The Lake by Richard Laymon.
I know it was one of the books published after his death and it seemed to have been written by about six different people, the story kept changing.

Meh. She finally brought werewolves into the mix, having mentioned them fairly early on in the series, but this book was a bit of a drag. Plus MaryAnn has got to be one of her least likable lifemate women. Stop whinging, woman!
Just finished the latest in Christopher Golden's Menagerie series, Crashing Paradise. It was by far the shortest of the lot, and in all honesty, could have been even shorter. Danny, the half-demon teenager, is getting bloody annoying, as is the ghostly Dr Graves.

Not started it yet as I'm finishing a re-read of Ode to a Banker by Lindsey Davis, but next on my list is 'Money Matters' the new Terry Pratchett.  Really looking forward to that.

Read Deep As The Marrow a couple of nights ago - still F. Paul Wilson but under his pseudonym of Colin Andrews. No supernatural bits, just a straight thriller. Okay, but not really my sort of thing.
Now reading Chainfire again, by Terry Goodkind. It's been a while since I've dipped into heroic fantasy, but I've had the next and most recent installment (Phantom)in the series sat there since the day it was published, and just haven't fancied reading it. As my memory's so bad, I'm having to re-read Chainfire, and it's just as well I thought to do it because I can't remember a thing!
Another thing I like about Goodkind. You know how you build a picture in your head of an author and when you see their photo they're nothing like you'd imagined. Well, Terry Goodkind looks as though he should be out there swinging a sword and rescuing the fair maiden, not writing books!

*Sob* Finished Phantom, and it was excellent, and I so need the next (and last) of these books. Sare, have you read any of these? If you haven't, do; other than Gemmell, he's the best writer of heroic fantasy I've seen.
Wasn't sure what to read next, so grabbed The Foundation by Colin Andrews (F. Paul Wilson) which I wasn't really expecting to like that much, but it was very good. Almost Crichton-esque; a straight thriller set in a medical academy, fairly similar to Coma.

I like Gemmell :) but i could never get my head round Terry Goodkind at all .. i persevered for a long time with him but for some reason i couldn't fathom him whatsoever
Hubby loved the Goodkind books though :)

I like Gemmell too, and also have problems with Good kind, I just don't enough about his characters??? and the books are too big to carry around!
I am currently reading two books on organisation yes I know but slowly and surely my room will be sorted!
they are by two American ladies I never knew you could so excitedand positive about organisation.

I think you definitely need to read them in order, and yes, they are bloody heavy; my wrist is killing me from five nights reading two of them in bed and holding them up so I can see. I think the first was Wizard's First Rule, but I had Stone of Tears first. A friend gave it to me and I had it for a good year and didn't fancy it, but then he died and it was the only thing of his I had.
Started Armageddon's Children (Terry Brooks) night before last - I didn't realise this was a straight back to the beginning (I suppose the name should have given it away) and wish I'd left it until I'd re-read the Word/Void series.

The one I ordered (Clone Age: Adventures in the New World of Reproductive Techniques by Lori B. Andrews) came yesterday, and I've read the first 4 chapters of that as well. Scary stuff, and it's nearly 10 years out of date. I may have to get something more recent as well.

I absolutely adore Terry Brooks but didnt realise there was one called *Armageddons Children* ... has been a while since i've bought anything from that genre ....... i've been working my way through all my old Warhammer books as well as the Genevieve Omnibus i mentioned recently
The Word/Void books were fantastic though

It's the first in the new series (followed by Elves of Cintra), and is the link between the Word/Void and Shanarra series.

Re-read Running With The Demon by Terry Brooks.

If you've any interest in IVF technology or cloning, I'd definitely recommend this. It by an American lawyer who appears to have been in on the majority of decisions about reproductive technology (whether they listened to her or not) and it shows all the moral dilemmas behind the use of the technology, and how many of them have been ignored. I don't know if it's the same now, but when the book was written there was no regulatory body in the US for reproductive technology; literally anyone could start IVF clinics, promise and charge for cloning, etc. The scientists were so caught up in 'can we do it', that they weren't at all interested in 'should we do it'. It's fascinating reading, even to me considering that I've absolutely no interest in babies at all. Defitely recommended.

OOh, I've read all them. I love the Lincoln Rhyme books, and the Monkee Wrench stories are quite good, although I thought Snowblind was a bit weaker. Is the Karen Rose one where the murderer kills people as presents to her?

I'm started Snowblind last night, I think Dead Run was my favourite so far though.

Yeah that's the one, I really enjoyed it.

I've read another good one by Karen Rose, but can't remember what it was.
Currently on Angel Fire East by Terry Brooks.

Count To Ten?? I didn't buy that one... which I'm regretting now that I've read the other one. I might see if they've got it at the library.
