For We Are Many

The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle

Without Remorse


Tom Clancy


Much much better than the abomination of the same name on Amazon Prime.

Now reading Loba negra (The Black Wolf) by Juan Gómez-Jurado.

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" by Jules Verne

François Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel.

Grimmelshausen's Simplicius Simplicissimus. So far a great, one-of-a-kind book. Very influenced by Spanish picaresque novels. The author truly blends lessons worth paying heed to, with adventures and light humour. Might do without some of the most jaded wordplay and peasant humour. Especially with fart jokes (if you love those, this book is for you). A very nice reading nevertheless, with very short chapters that always encourage grabbing hte book anytime.

I forgot to mention, set in the frame of the Thirty Years War, with endless suffering for the population. To put it in game terms: "War... war never changes".

Le Cri by Nicolas Beuglet

Reading Aquitania (Aquitaine) by Eva García Sáenz de Urturi.

William Gibson - "Burning Chrome"

Finished the Dragon's Crown manga. I'll probably be reading Invincible next, since I have the first 3 volumes from a previous bundle. (and yes, I already watched the animation)

Ditto. I loved how the tv series was respectful with the original material, while taking advantage of the possibilities of the medium to present the stories in a different way, for the better of it.


I have been thinking about reading it. Please post if you happen to enjoy it.

I found that the story of the nice computer RPG Battle Chasers seems to happen after the comics. Very much as the game The Witcher starts after the books.
Man, I see it all the time now. I wonder if in the future it will be regarded as a gimmick of this era :)

The work is comprised of five books; I'm about halfway through the third and, so far, I'd say that the first book is very very good, the second is wonderful, while the third is a bit of a letdown, especially coming after the first two - I find it a bit dull, although it seems to be getting better along the way. I'll post my final impressions about the work as soon as I finish it, so stay tuned - it won't be soon though, as it is quite long.


Hey, I read that last year, in this same period, more or less. I agree, it's a great book! Wonderful reading - with some reservations, that I'll discuss later, together with Rabelais, after you've finished it.

I absolutely agree. The show had its fair share of critics but I think they did a great job adapting the books. Honestly, I'm not sure I've seen a truer adaptation from book to film with the exception of PJ's LotR trilogy and even those changed some stuff.

Thanks for sharing your impressions. I will get back to you when I finish Simplicius.
Very true and a fair comparison.
