Heading over to Discworld for a bit with Pyramids. Finished up Mad Ship finally. Whew! Good book, but it got bogged down in the middle and I kept drifting off to other books.
Picked up Pyramids today, which I plan to start tonight. The humor will be most welcome. Still finishing up Mad Ship. I've about 150 pages to go and am going to try to push to finish this tonight or tomorrow. My "To Be Read" pile keeps telling me I'm taking too long! "For now, lets get you off this windy deck deck and into the captain's sitting room."
Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
"Or are you growing deaf?" Finished with Equal Rites this weekend. Thoroughly enjoyable. My first Pratchett book.
Still working on Mad Ship. It feels like I'll be reading this forever. Not sure if I'm going to add a second book yet or not. "We'd both been drinking, and the beer was drugged and . . ."
Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
"It's because she was a whore, isn't it?" Still working on Mad Ship and also started Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett today. I have a feeling Equal Rites will end up winning out this week. "Vivacia has been taken by pirates."
Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
"Do you expect to use tea-party manners with someone you work with each day?" "I can't be your wife."
Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
"Were they badly damaged?" "He invites their warships into our waters?" Vivacia was incredulous.
Mad Ship by Robin Hobb ... all of this has been in his own mind. Its not a book I could read a second time.
Anyway, still working my way through Mad Ship, about half way through. Haven't decided if I'm going to add a second book or just try to finish this one up. ... Traders series by Robin Hobb. I haven't had as much time for reading as I'd like. I'm in the middle of book two, Mad Ship. I'm still working my way through American Psycho and Mad Ship.

I'm thinking I'll be on Mad Ship for a while, though I'm not quite half way through American Psycho so far. Still working my way through Mad Ship and American Psycho. Had a long week at work, didn't get much reading in. I'm working my way through Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders series. I'm on the second book, Mad Ship. These are the first books I've read by Hobb. It took a little while to get into the first one, but I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I'm reading two books right now.

I have to finish Mad Ship before it gets here because I know i'll just tear it open and start reading the moment it arrives. I'm carrying around The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb and Tone Sandhi: Patterns across Chinese dialects by Matthew Chen. They came with me on the bus and will be going back the same way. I will hopefully have read through more of the latter by then. I finally picked up Mad Ship, the second in the Liveship Traders trilogy. It's a little long-winded, but has excellent world building and characterizations. Plus pirates. I love me some pirates.
I keep forgetting to read Alice in Wonderland. I have to actually transfer it physically to my TBR ... I finished The Woman in White, which rocked, and now I'm reading Mad Ship, the second in the Liveship Traders trilogy. Not sure why I waited so long to continue with this.
