Summer Reading Lists

« on: March 14, 2015, 02:17:58 am »
The winter season and school year eats up so much of my time that my reading rate usually drops by about half. With the summer coming though I'm already building my projected reading list in my head and I'm curious what you guys have on your shelves waiting to be delved into--I'm always looking for recommendations and new authors.

This is what I have ready and waiting so far, which will no doubt expand with new releases and level of consumption:
Unfinished Tales by J.R.R. Tolkien
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie
A Dance with Dragons by George R. Martin
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
The Dark Defiles by Richard Morgan
The Crippled God by Steven Erikson and maybe so Esslemont novels (It's about time I finished that series)
Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
The Birth of Classical Europe by Simon Price and Peter Thonemann

I also have two enormous tomes of Lovecraft and Poe short stories I'll be digging through

What do you guys have on your to-read lists? Anything your anxiously waiting to be released? Any recommendations?

Hey Camlost,

Would be great if you wanted to join this thread: http://www.second-apocalypse.com/index.php?topic=1529.15 you look to have a solid reading list. No pressure.

Next for me after completing Frank Herberts Children of Dune is Joe Abercrombies The Blade Itself continuing with Dune series and potentially First Law depending how it grabs me. Just need a break from SF so going to do read Fantasy interspersed with Dune. I have also been finding myself wondering about Ann Leckies Ancillary Sword, the second in the series so I think I am going to put that onto my list as well.

Looks like I fell prey to the oldest rule of forum posting: no reposts.

I'll throw my list in among the others and hope for the best
