… and after a long hiatus, I’m back.
But I have been reading many books while I’ve been gone.
Several good books by David Weber, “Patriots” by David Drake - which is a science fiction retelling of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys’ capture of Fort Ticonderoga way back in the Revolutionary War.
I also read Brandon Sanderson’s “Mistborn” Trilogy, which, while I enjoyed it, and it was well-written, left me feeling as though I went to a $50 Brazillian grill buffet and got plenty of salad and bread, but got skimped on the beef. I have to say that I enjoyed his stand-alon novel, “Elantris” better than this trilogy. (Although, I hasten to say that it wasn’t a waste of time reading it, I just don’t plan to re-read it anytime soon.) I’m still holding out on reading his finishing novels of Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time”, so those are the only 4 books I have read of his so far.
@Jermofoot - Give Tolkien another chance. I think you’ll like it.
