Back Into The World Of Tiers

I thought this was going to be the first month for maybe fifteen years that I didn't post to this blog. I finished "The Prince With The Silver Hand" which is the second trilogy of Corum books which has been described by The Irish Times as a whole new dimension to Celtic Mythology band really did not want it to end, but I knew it had to, but I loved every word I read. 

My next book is diving back into World of Tiers by Philip Jose Farmer which I can tell you nothing about because it is so long since I last read it, but I will share my progress so there may be another post before the end of November.

"Rings of Power"  is also complete as is "House of the Dragon", both of which I have been impressed with.

I also found out that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not others. C'est La Vie.

Music is "World of Tiers" by Hawkwind from Levitation.

The Prince With The Silver Hand

 I finished "The Swords of Corum" and thoroughly enjoyed it even though I first read it as a teenager. I have now started "The Prince With The Silver Hand" which is the second trilogy of Corum books which has been described by The Irish Times as a whole new dimension to Celtic Mythology. 

"Rings of Power" is moving on quite fiercely and I am very impressed with the series. It fits in well with Peter Jackson's vision of "Lord of The Rings" although there are those who still don't like it, but I definitely do.

Into The Realm Of Swords

 I have "The Magic Labyrinth" in the "Riverworld" series and although it was a bit of a slog it was a good read, but I am taking a break from "Riverworld" now. Although this was originally a four-book series it does finish on a cliffhanger and there is then "Gods of Riverworld" to follow it up, but that is another day.

I am impressed with "Rings of Power" and have revisited one of my favourite Michel Moorcock series "The Swords of Corum" and am almost finished  "The Knight Of The Swords" and finding it remarkably easy to read. It is a wonderful fantasy with love, violence and some incredible imagery, some people describe Moorcock as the greatest fantasy author since Tolkien though there are many who could claim that mantle.

This is the first of six books and I know this will be an easy twelve hundred pages for me to read.

Still Lost In The Labyrinth

 I am two thirds of the way through "The Magic Labyrinth" in the "Riverworld" series and still enjoying it although Riverworld is just becoming a setting for everyday issues in that setting, but I do love the juxtaposition of all the characters from history being set up for a battle between boats on the river. You do learn a lot about historical figures from Farmer's writing.

Into The Magic Labyrinth

"The Wind Whales of Ishmael" turned out to be a 130-page interlude into a non-Armageddon end of the world scenario and though only 130 pages long because it was a single unbroken piece it seemed much longer, but still an enjoyable unusual sci-fi follow up to Melville's "Moby Dick" 

"The Magic Labyrinth" continues the "Riverworld" series and all the characters are there in this five hundred page first finale to the series (which like many such series just kept spawning more books, so there will be more after this no doubt.

A Break From Riverworld but There Are Wind Whales

I have finished "The Dark Design"  the third book in the "Riverworld series but before setting out into "The Magic Labyrinth," I thought I would take a detour with another Farmer novel "The Wind Whales of Ishmael".

It is only 130 pages long but has no chapters, just a single piece of text that runs over those pages. Chapters enable you to take a break, and while 130 pages could be read in one sitting I am a slow reader.

The story is a futuristic science fiction sequel to "Moby Dick"
