Ah, I see. I think he has another one, too. I just didn't find them to be interesting.

Malazan Book of the Fallen
01-Gardens of Moon 6.5/10
02-Deadhouse Gates 7.5/10
03-Memories of Ice 7/10

The idea behind the books is fine. Author's use of the pantheon is similar to greek way (heroes,gods-goddesses and demigods). Execution of the story and characterization is a little lacking, though.Perhaps, I'm spoiled by GRR Martin books or my familiarity with Jordan's style made it difficult for me to like this attempt at epic fantasy.

Re: Rate The Last Book You Read!

Some of the following are re-reads and others new.

Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits by Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzche
Remembering Socrates: Philosophical Essays by Lindsay Judson
Manhattan Loverboy by Arthur Nersesian
Suicide Casanova by Arthur Nersesian
365 Buddha by Jeff Schmidt
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

Siddhartha is an interesting experiment that i've been conducting over the years. I have read the book at least three or four different times in the various stages of my life and have taken away something different with each reading. Definitely incredible how differently we view philosophies with age, experience and possible wisdom :>

365 Buddha is a book i purchased from a charming book store in Carmel, CA when i was a young teenager. I recently decided to re read it and found a pressed leaf between it's pages which brought on a share of tears and nostalgia.
