Earth: Portrait of a Planet
The Dinosaur heresies
And a crap ton of other geological books
Phoenixguard09:
Also read Game of Thrones recently Jubal. I have to say, the story's great but the way he describes what everyone's wearing gets old pretty quickly.
Not the fact that he does describe it. It doesn't even happen all that often, but the way he does it grates.
Tyrion walked into the throneroom and saw his sister.
"You're looking stunning today, sister."
She wore a gown of blah blah blah.
Then a bit later.
Bran looked around his room. His mother sat in the corner. She wore blah blah blah.
Surely there was a way to subtly put that information into the prose rather than that.
But I'm probably being overly picky. Much like Matthew Reilly and his incessant italicising.
And he put his hand, through the wall! Yes that's right, through the wall! And he did proclaim, "Ouch!" with great and terrible pain and agony
And you all think I'm joking.... :P
boyka:
I am reading Veronica Decides to Die. Self explanatory title, I must say!
Clockwork:
The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor.
It's all right.
