Which Book Are You Currently Reading?

[Chevywolf30]

Star Wars: Dynasty of Evil, Book III of Darth Bane Trilogy.

I wish someone would write Zelda books, like do the games in short novels. That way we could have them if we do not have access to the games.

@Link&Midna might have some good news for you

[A Link In Time]

I read through the Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages manga. It was a fun time. Maple, Din, Nayru, and Raven were all great characters although I wish the final battle against Ganon was longer.

As far as I'm aware A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Oracles, Four Swords, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, and Phantom Hourglass have manga adaptations.

I would love to see the manga return for newer entries.

Don't forget the old Valiant Zelda comics. Last I checked, they were still affordable. Also, I recently did the choose your own adventure books for Oracle of Ages and Seasons. They weren't great but it was fun to get a different perspective on the games. I also have Link and the Portal of Doom. Likely the worst published piece I've ever read, don't bother.

The World of the Crusades, Christopher Tyerman. Sadly my copy is rife with printing errors where chapters break off and the topic gets muddled (goodreads says this is a problem for many). I will say there is stuff in the book I have not read in any other book on the crusades, especially about the Women Crusaders and their ahem tattoos.

I have Read Tyerman’s 900 page tome God’s War. Tyerman delves deep into the psychology of holy war. The Crusaders were not all religious fanatics, some were looking for a new life in Outremer, (Palestine), tax evasion (a crusader and his lands could not be taxed), others a get out of jail free card (literally, murderers and etc had sentence commuted if they went on crusade), and contrary to common belief, Crucinatius (signed with cross, crusaders) and Mujahideen (Muslim holy warriors) got along more than they fought, there was more periods of pax (peace) than war between 1095-1291 A.D., with Saladin even having to lay siege to Jerusalem because he fought more wars against people of his own faith and they began to question his title of Champion of Islam. There is even the crusade against Christians, The Fourth Crusade, where Western Catholic Crusaders conquered Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Constantinople.

The Third Crusade alone has one of most bizarre scenes, at night the two camps of Richard The Lion Heart and Saladin would come together, party, and be merry, and during day fight each other. Talk about strange.. buddies around the bonefire and enemies under the sun. (Thomas Asbridge, The Crusades: A New History).

Andrzej Sapkowski: Blood of Elves

I read the short story collection and now am on to the main story of The Witcher series. My favourite game of all is The Witcher 3 and reading about the adventures of The Witcher and crew before the story of the games takes place is turning out to be great. The games really captured the humour and feel of the books and I recommend anyone who is a fan of the games who wants to experience more of that world to get into the books as well. Great characters and engaging stories in a fantasy setting, exactly what I needed.

I also see now why many complained about the TV series on Netflix and why Henry Cavill quit, the books are a lot better and really haven't been done justice.

I’m reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes alongside the Inheritance cycle.
Both are amazing.

 

[Zettafleya]

Currently i'm in the middle of The Two Towers and the first novel in the discworld series, but I haven't read in a while.
Been thinking of going back and reading the hobbit and fellowship since its been too long. Need to read more.

Reading Hatchet to my oldest right now. There are so many errors in grammar and spelling, it's really surprising the editor had a job in the first place. Awesome book though.
