    Reading any good books?

    Hi there just wondering if anyone was reading any good books right now. I'm currently reading Ilium by Dan Simmons but can't wait to get into Endymion by the same guy. I love sci fi and fantasy books.
    David Gemmell is another great read.
    Don't know if this is in the right forum :o

    sorry just saw the books forum dont know how to move this

    I've read The Terror (brilliant) and the Hyperion books (very good) by Simmons recently. I have The Endymion Omnibus sitting there looking vast and waiting for me as well as The Hollow Man. Right now though, I'm reading Contact by Carl Sagan. It's rather good.

    What's the name of the guy that wrote i-Robot?

    Looking forward to Endymion.

    The Terror was fantastic. Hyperion I found very good, but a little uneven. Endymion I've been told really builds on the Hyperion books though. Simmons does have an absurd brilliance for scope and detail.

    I'm about 1/2 way through the 2009 World Almanac. There have been a few twists.

    I'm reading Brida by Paulo Coelho.

    The guy is brilliant, but a little out there.
