The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett. It's quite good, even though a bit more brutal than Pratchett's other books I've read.

I'm struggling with it to be honest. Consequently I've got sidetracked into other books instead so it's still waiting ...

What's the problem?

Spoiler

Colon acting out of character? Or the number of dead bodies?

Currently reading The Lost Files: Hidden Enemy. It's an anthology book of 3 spin-off stories from the Lorien Legacies Franchise. Famous for the first book in the series: "I Am Number Four."

Catching up on these side stories before I continue on the main series. It's a very long series to get into many years after the first book came out, considering it's still ongoing as well. 

It's pretty decent so far, but not really reading it super excited to finish it. After this it's another spin-off book from the series and then back to main storyline. 

But before those two it's going to be the My Little Pony Manga and the Equestria Girls book based on the Summer Sun Setback.

I'm re-reading "Firestar's Quest" for the tenth time in my life or something. I used to be obsessed with the Warrior Cats series, though I fell away from the books and fandom after a while. Finding myself with nothing to read while Tui Sutherland works on the next Wings of Fire book, I decided to go back and pick up some of the old books (I have the special editions of Bluestar's Prophecy and Firestar's Quest with the full-cover art, along with every book in the first four series).

Well, it happens. To me, it was not as interesting as, for example, the books about Rincewind, but still quite good.

And right now I'm reading The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman, the last book of the trilogy His Dark Materials that I've been binging for the last few weeks. I must say it has some interesting ideas and an inventive setting.

I vaguely recall not getting into The Fifth Elephant as much as other Pratchett books, though I couldn't say why either.

 

 

At the moment I'm switching between the rather heavy 'Napoleon the Great' that, while rather interesting (and relevant, given that I'm rather enjoying Europa Universalis IV at the moment), can be a bit much for bedtime reading; and Freeport Venture: Old Wounds in which I will admit to enjoying the familial conflict a bit too much. Chengar Qordath is one of my favourite authors, pony-writing or otherwise, and the interpersonal relationships throughout their stories are very well done - as in Fallout Equestria, I am repeatedly amused by the realisation that the most appealing part of my favourite MLP stories is in fact the very human aspects of their characters.

Right now? I'm reading Star Wars: Lords of the Sith. This would probably be the third or fourth time I've read through it.

I've been reading Fragments by Phoenix Dragon. He has 3 of his fanctions available for purchase on lulu. I just received them about a week ago. I read his other story Without a Hive several years ago and it's really cool to be able to own it in physical form.

Here is the story if you're interested and the
