Something tells me I need to stop chewing on books so quickly. True, now that I've made it a habit to read on the train in the morning, and on a bench in the park in the morning, and during lunchtime while I eat, and on the train in the afternoon, and often at night before sleeping too, I get at least three solid hours of reading every day.
But I finished Assassin's Apprentice today, and I'd only started it yesterday afternoon, ffs. True, it's a light read, but still...
Nice book, though, even if it had a bit too many half-bloods with dark pasts / dark secrets / murderous intents. :p And I read it in the Italian translation, and it irked the hell out of me how some names had been translated. True, the names had to be translated, because they were proper words and occasionally important to the story, but still, it irks me. Definitely want to get this in English, and the other two books in the series, too. And the sequel series... I recall seeing Fool's Errand in a bookstore in this city, in English too, must check if it's still there when I pass by it going home today. After all, I finished Assassin's Apprentice and now have nothing to read this afternoon on the train. Except for The Shaping of Middle-Earth, that is, but as much as I love Tolkien, I'm starting to be allergic to stories like Turambar and Niniel, or even Beren and Luthien (even though they are beautiful). Reading seven different versions of the same tale in a short time doesn't make you particularly inclined to like it when you start reading it in the eight version. So I'm taking a bit of a break, to hopefully stop wanting to smack Christopher Tolkien for not leaving his father's notes alone. If I ever become a famous successful writer, I swear, I'll expressly request in my will that my heirs bury all my notes with me, or burn them. Hmpf.

Robin Hobb books = goodness for you.

Hope you enjoy the rest of the series :)

I found Fool's Errand \o/ Now to track down the rest of 'em... *adds to Amazon wishlist in the meantime*

Geh. I can't stand Robin Hobb, I'm afraid. That said, I need to find more time in my life for reading. Currenty it's just replaced my sleeping hours, and no-one wants the dawn chorus to interrupt their literature.

Damn birds.
