Dee and Dee

So I haven't really been blogging like at all, mainly cause I just don't. Not that blogging is bad or anything, I'm just not sure I have anything that interesting to say. That said.. here is an update.

So I've started playing D&D quite a bit actually. I've never really been much of a Fantasy Setting person. Got burned out on it back in High School. I mean, yeah, I've read LotR and the hobbie, I know who D'rizzt (sp?) is, Robert Jordan etc. It just hasn't intrested me in a while. All of the stories seemed played out, and basically rip offs of LotR. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when Jay talked me into reading the Song of Fire and Ice books. Hells Bells. I hadn't torn through a books like that in a loong time (quite possibly the last one was Stand back in 5th grade).

And that kicked off a new age of reading in my life. It's pretty awesome actually. Up to that point I was pretty much only reading comics and graphic novels. Whats weird is that I didn't even know that I missed reading books. So I finished up the Fire and Ice books, well up to the 4th one, I'm still waiting on the 5th book to be published before reading the 4th book. I could just read it again, but... I have since discovered other authors and books.

For example, a friend from work turned me on to Richard K. Morgan Kovacs novels. Nice new scifi stuff. Then I started reading the Malazan series by Stephen Erikson. and here is the silly thing. I am not a fan of book series. I usually get tired of the characters. There wasn't any real danger of the Characters dying off, so the drama was lost on me. These new books however, have real drama. These new authors get you attached to characters and then kill them off. Making you want to read more. Anyway. So I was kinda into the whole fantasy setting thing.

and here I thought I didn't have anything to say, AND I was going to talk about DnD. Oh well, I'll save the post for later.
