The Hansa Towns by Helen Zimmern. It's the only book about the Hanseatic League - a north European maritime trade alliance that did fun things like declaring war on Denmark - that I could get hold of or afford that isn't in German.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft

He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster -Nietzsche

You are a fluke of the universe, and whether you can hear it of not the universe is laughing behind your back -Deteriorata

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

About three quarters of the way through.  Willikin's expanded role is very welcome in this book, as is Young Sam's constant ruminations on the subject of poo.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Never read it before or seen the movie. Enjoying it so far.

Just started Brom's "Child Thief". So far it's readable.

I'm liking it.   :)  About halfway through.

Finally started "Dance of Dragons".  Already it's more interesting than "Feast for Crows".  Sweet merciful fuck, that book was a downer.

Best book in the series IMO. 

I didn't think he could top Swords.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Still, don't think he can wrap this up in two more books.

"Child Thief" is getting less readable as I go on. Holy mother fuck, this guy is an unimaginative writer! The storyline is imaginative enough, but the writing is telly and predictable.

Given that, by the time that bastard gets two more books out, I'll likely be dead of old age, it really doesn't matter.

Never heard of it.  How was it recommended to you?
