Having finished ‘Eye of the World’ by Robert Jordan, I went to the stacks that pass for bookshelves in my house and had so many different titles to choose from.
There was
- The Great Hunt (Robert Jordan – Wheel of Time #2)
- The Dragon Reborn (Robert Jordan – Wheel of Time ~3)
- The Handmaid’s Tale (Margaret Atwood)
- The Well of Ascension (Brandon Sanderson – Mistborn #2)
- The Hero of Ages (Brandon Sanderson – Mistborn #3)
- Children of Blood and Bone (Atomi Adeyema)
- The Demon Awakens (R. A. Salvatore)
- Bloodstorm (Dan Abnet and Mike Lee – Malus Darkblade #2)
- Reaper of Souls (Dan Abnet and Mike Lee – Malus Darkblade #3)
- Warpsword (Dan Abnet and Mike Lee – Malus Darkblade #4)
- Lord of Ruin (Dan Abnet and Mike Lee – Malus Darkblade #5)
- Deathblade (C. L. Werner – Malus Darkblade #6)
But beside all these was a book I had been scouring stores for for years and years. A book upon which one of my most beloved films is based. A story about horror, magic, death and honour. There was ‘Eaters of the Dead’ by Michael Crichton. After reading an epically long book of more than 300,000 words, the 186 page book looked so inviting. So, I’m reading the book upon which the 13th Warrior, starring Antonio Banderas, is based.
Before you start shouting that I should be able to change my mind, that I should stick to my plans, I have to remind you that er… it was a magical addition to my reading list caused by powers from Shayol Ghul, Mount Doom or some such place, and I can’t help it.
Sorry.
Got any suggestions as to what to add to my reading list? Gimme a shout in the comments!
