comrade, you have a stronger reading will than I will ever have. I don't think I got past TRotK.

I am reading 2 books both with an average of about 700 pages (Go me  B)  ). One is called Ship of Magic Book One of the Liveship Traders By Robin Hobb and the other is Emperor: The Death of Kings By Conn Iggulden. Conn Iggulden and Robin Hobbs Books are realy good books ;) .

What about the other series by Conn Iggulden, the one about Gangis Khan. I've read almost all of them (1-4 not book 5 yet got too stuck into the Emperor Series. Great books).

I read Beasts in my Belfry by Gerald Durrell recently. If you have any love of animals his books are a must, brilliantly funny in the older and more genteel sense of the word and pretty heartwarming too. Also I'm currently reading The Far Pavilions, which is a stunning epic set in India maybe 20 years after the Mutiny.

40K is just a ***t universe for stories. It's TOO dark, so everything just feels broken.

Blood on the Reik is a very interesting book... It's a bit short and it's full of drawings (which are the best part of the book actually)...
It's a must for every WHF fan...
