'Though you may have a love for such things you will perhaps be hindered by your stomach, and, if that does not impede you, you will perhaps be impeded by the fear of living through the night hours in the company of quartered and flayed corpses fearful to behold' - Leonardo da Vinci on studying corpses from the scaffold to further knowledge of anatomy.

Interesting read so far, excited to read some more when I get the chance.

"But be warned, young Nona: a book is as dangerous as any journey you might take. The person who closes the back cover might not be the same one that opened the front one. Treat books with respect."

Time to finish this one before work, only started it yesterday evening. Can't put it down, great stuff.

As always a treat to read anything by Tim, one of my favourite authors. Darker fare than usual but I came to love Gryl way back when I read a little about him some time ago now. Enjoying this a lot.

Going between audiobook and the real thing. Sensory issues make listening hard when things are going on and reading hard when it's too loud. Getting through it well though, starting to understand what all the fuss is about. Great stuff, makes me want to swot up on Mythology.

Reaching the final stretch, loving this one so far. Don't know much mythology so that only goes so far with me. But it's just so different and fresh, big fan. Expect a very positive review.

Took a little while to sink its teeth into me, but man is this good. Gonna read some more after work tomorrow, I now know of *that* scene and I know why all my fellow men wince. Nightmares tonight, won't stop me reading more tomorrow though :D

Again, enjoying it so far. Intrigued to meet Braylars sister.

Little under halfway and loving it so far. I'll read some more tomorrow after work. Glad I have two more to enjoy after this one.

Very much enjoying this one so far, no surprise there. Almost as lovable a bunch of whoresons as Lawrence's road brothers.

Phenomenal.

Loving it so far, huge fan of spiders so this is a treat for me.

Absolutely fantastic and a great book to kick off my newfound ability to concentrate on them. I knew it would be mind, and I'm very content to know mine is totally unique. Tea stains and all. Read this book, I guarantee you'll get something out of it. Superb.

Really fun collection of shorts about a thief by the name of the black raven and his rise to earning the title and the reputation that comes with it. Loved it, really fun read.

The king is dead, long live the king!

Lots of short sharp little sentences. Makes me want to keep reading, I like the voice used.

About time I got started on this one :D

Bloody good effort for today, pretty decent book so far. Little slow to start but it's rolling along nicely now.

Oh bless you Moog, in definitely not tearing up here.

Flying through this one, brilliant.
