Books!

I stumbled across a book series I loved as a youngish teen while surfing Amazon (don't ask), and in a moment of weakness brought about by nostalgia, I've managed to track down and order copies of William Nicholson's Wind on Fire Trilogy.

This is one of those series I mourn the lack of fandom for. Kestrel eats awesome for breakfast. (And I possibly nearly developed a crush on my mental image of Bowman by Book 2, Slaves of the Mastery) Am I the only one who remembers reading these books? Because seriously, they are/were awesome.

Speaking of books, I might give up on The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie for the moment. I'm just not in the correct mood for it. I think I'm going to start Across the Nightingale Floor (Book 1 of Tales of the Ootori) by Lian Hearn next. Probably.

As I'm at it, anyone got any particularly interesting book recs? I hear I have a membership to a certain library on campus...

Bridge of Birds,The Story of the Stone, and Eight Skilled Gentlemen. It was supposed to be a longer series, but that didn't happen for various reasons.
