Any fiction readers in here?

[Mummelmann]

I read lots of fiction, mainly fantasy. Currently reading the last book in "The Faithless and the Fallen" by John Gwynne - the man can write action scenes! After that, I'm finishing the Thorns trilogy by Mark Lawrence. In September, I've also read books 2 and 3 in FatF series, as well as "The Dragonbone Chair" by Tad Williams. I really had no idea about the latter, but remembered George R.R. Martin stating that it inspired him to write his epic "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. The influences are, in hindsight, well and truly obvious.
In addition to fiction books, I read lots of history and psychology, my colleague lent me a book on youth crime development and behavior aspects behind it, and I'm just about finishing "Against the Grain" by James C. Scott (invaluable for those of us who love world-building).

I try to read at least one book every week, I don't always succeed, especially while having three jobs, but I do try! Oh! And I'm working on a novel of my own (currently about halfway done on draft one), and I'm writing a TV-show (mockumentary style) with a colleague - loosely based on our work experiences.

I re-read the LotR trilogy and The Hobbit this summer as well, both pleasant to return to. I also started the Discworld universe, but only "The Colour of Magic" has been read so far. This year has been a terrific book year for me, both from a reading and a writing-perspective.
