I just found out that the Witcher book "Season of Storms" was officially released in English in May. Has anyone read it?

I didn't, because most of people who read it complained that it's very disappointing addition to the Witcher saga.

"Interface", by Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick George

Before that, I burned through "Hombre", by Elmore Leonard, in just a few hours. Managed to find several of his very early westerns about a month back, and am really enjoying them.
I am reading Soulforge, a Dragonlance novel about Raistlin Majere.
I've started reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. A classic, to be sure. For good reason, too. The story's heartbreaking & I haven't even reached the Monster yet. I'm very thrilled & excited to keep reading. The language isn't crazy archaic either, fortunately.

It's a wonderful story. Pop culture makes us think it is a horror story... but it's actually about love.
Currently reading Go by John Clellon Holmes. It's pretty good so far.

Also re-read Lord of the Rings recently.

FINALLY!!!

Someone in here I can relate to.

You should see the raised planters we just finished, and the heat coils we installed in the basement drainage system and north side gutters.

I just finished The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie
Good work and I'm going to get the sequel as soon as I can get it. Maybe I'll start Band of Brothers for now.
