Posted Just finished reading: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1841491055/qid.../026-0967841-2302033 Devices and Desires. Anyone else reading anything of his? I'm half way through the second book in the series, 'Pattern'. It's good, though not as action paced as the first, but not as confusing. Very interesting, very enjoyable. Very weird!!! I like the whole idea behind Poldarn, and the fact that K J Parker is a kind of blacksmith too! I've wanted to read his other book: ----------------------------- St.Barbarella: Sexy Tart. Buys Ale, Reads Books, And Really Enjoys Leaving Lovers Aching - JP yes, University is all about incontinence - Mythos You are a Tradesman. Long before labor unions, your guilds were powerful enough to make a free-market capitalist run away screaming. Who controls the British Crown? Who keeps the metric system down? You do, you do.

Quoth Member	Posted Hide Post Hi! I read Shadow and Pettern and Memory. I liked Shadow and Pattern but was a bit disappointed with Memory (well, I always kind of knew who Poldarn was - or had been -, but I still didn't care much for the ending). Have you read Memory yet?

Quoth Member	Posted Hide Post Couldn't really say. Shadow isn't bad, but there are a lot of better books out there. And the last book in the trilogy (Memory) really was a bit disappointing... Would be a good book to read on a train so. " 'A lovers' spat',(...)'Boy meets girl, girl wants boy dead. An everyday story really.'" - D. Gemmell

Smaug Administrator Member	Posted Hide Post in that case, it shall stay low down on my list...so much to read,so much to watch...so little time! ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. when's spring due?.

Posted Hide Post I'm part way though Memory, though yes, I've found I tend to get annoyed with Poldarn so end up not reading it for a bit. But over all, I've enjoyed the books a lot. They get a little bogged down with the engineering side of things, but over all they've been fun and I've enjoyed reading them and slowley catching up on who/what Poldarn is (sometimes, I'm very slow on the uptake!) ----------------------------- St.Barbarella: Sexy Tart.
