The Sixteen Kingdoms: Kurik Redbones the Dragon King

---

I might have rounded it down to 3. Goddard has been a favorite author of mine for decades, for the convoluted puzzles he concocts and uses as the basis for his plots that usually involve some kind of past mystery or crime that comes back to haunt people decades later. It is his uncle, the improbably-named Eldritch Swan, who he had believed killed during WW2. In fact, Eldritch had been serving a life sentence in an Irish prison since , for a crime he says he didn't commit but which he can't or won't disclose to Stephen. Then the inevitable happens, and Stephen and Eldritch must go back in time to find the answer to a current mystery that could put an early end to their lives.

Goddard's success rate of late has been uneven his best novels were written in the 80s and early 90s and include his debut, Past Caring , as well as Into the Blue and Hand in Glove , but this is a return to very good form on his part. Definitely a thumping good read, especially for those who love intricate plots. Read for my challenge. I'm looking for some good intricate mysteries, so I'll definitely look into Long Time Coming - thanks for the recommendation, Charlotte Off to enjoy some sunshine today!

Erm, I'm not Charlotte, Caroline -- but you're welcome! And enjoy the sunshine -- it's gorgeous here today, too, and I've been up in Central Park, along with half the population of NYC. The Goddard sounds interesting; I've never heard of him. I'll add that to the list of books for my Mystery Glut while on vacation. Oh, I get it now. Stasia's LT supremacy is safe. Erm, nope -- as of the end of March this year, 40 of which were for this challenge.

But I still think Stasia's crown is safe! You're posting your reads in so many groups I can't even stalk you. I didn't know you were posting in Books Off the Shelf and the 50 challenge. I knew about the and the I'm going on record by stating that somewhere in the genealogical record Stasia and yourself are related. Well my sister's name is 'Susan,' pretty close to Suzanne, wouldn't you say?

Maybe they were switched at birth which would be I must say, quite a trick, since my sister was born in Iran. What do you think sisterkin, Suz? Well, Stasia, I was born in NJ, but my sis-in-law did live in Iran for a while in the 70s, so who knows??? On the other hand, there is obviously a recessive gene for obsessive reading that both of us inherited from waaay back. Now I realize she was probably a lush.

I can return to normally-scheduled reading activity, which has been abeyance for about a week now. Chatterbox, "there is obviously a recessive gene for obsessive reading that both of us inherited" I long suspected that people, who consistently read at least a book a day, have a different genetic makeup from the rest of us.

But why is it a recessive gene? Otherwise we would dominate and run the world, like people with brown eyes! Looking for shelving space for some of the books I've read so far this year, I stumbled across a copy of Other People's Rules by Julia Hamilton and decided that enough time had passed that I could re-read it. This is definitely a "thumping good read", the Brideshead-like story of what happens when a naive outsider becomes entranced by a dysfunctional Anglo-Catholic family and caught up in their machinations.

In this case, the naive outsider is a young girl named Lucy Diamond, schoolmate of Lady Sarah Anworth, youngest daughter of Lord Gatehouse. She is seduced by the Anworth family and becomes a witness to dysfunction -- and perhaps to crime, when the teenage daughter of Lord Gateshead's closest neighbor, a pop star and his heiress wife, disappears. Frightened, she removes herself from the orbit of the Gateshead clan, only to find herself pulled back in decades later, now a noted divorce lawyer in London.

But she's still an outsider, and when Katie's body is finally discovered, will her evidence bring about justice? This is an excellent and gripping read, with the first and third parts told in Lucy's voice and the middle section recounted in the third person. It all clicks; the plot is very carefully structured and compelling.

Not great literature, but an excellent suspense novel. I will claim momentary brain freeze from lack of sugar. I hope this isn't the a sign of early Alzheimer's! Actually, on my mother's side of the family, I can trace my lineage back even further than that. I have an aunt, who is Mormon, and has traced the family all the way back to its European roots. My mother's family has been in the States since before they were States - ancestors names on Plymouth Rock and all that. On my father's side, I am only second-generation American. My grandfather's family emigrated from Belgium between the world wars.

Stacia, you'll have to send me your ancestors' surnames -- perhaps we are related!! After all, I'm tied to the Hemingway clan and the Tiffany family, although, alas, without the literary laurels or anything more than one slim gift box from the jewelry store to my credit! No Plymouth rock names here, but nearly every other ship that arrived in Mass.

Caroline, no worries -- I will get you back, hehehe. And if you can't remember the plot of Other People's Rules , it is probably safe to re-read it: As indeed it was. Now that Monday morning is approaching, I'm wrapping up a bio of Machiavelli Apr 5, , 2: The only 3 I know for sure are 'Houck' and I may have spelled that one wrong - that is the one on Plymouth Rock , 'Callendar,' who as I understand it was on of General Washington's aides and 'Henry,' because we are somehow distantly related to Patrick Henry. I will have to see if my mother has the complete genealogy.

Hi Suzanne - I've been enjoying your comments on everyone's threads and now have finally caught up on your own thread. Hope those headaches stay away for you. So far, so good. Logged under my challenge: Philosopher of Power by Ross King over the weekend. It's a very straightforward and accessible bio, one that emphasizes chronology and his life experiences with only occasional forays into his work. King also clearly identifies Machiavelli as the first humanist to write this kind of manual for rulers we tend to forget this was a tradition going back to Thomas Aquinas, but good old Niccolo took a completely different perspective An excellent read for newcomers to Machiavelli, as it makes him human and not just the quasi-conspiratorial and sly manipulator he is perceived to be.

I'm glad I read this; it will help me get back to Paul Strathern's The Artist, the Philosopher and the Warrior, which is about the ways that the lives of Machiavelli, Cesare Borgia and Leonardo da Vinci overlapped and affected each other. The latter was good, but dense, and I bogged down in it, so plan to give it another try later this year. Meanwhile, this relatively thin but very accessible and readable bio is 4 stars. That one sounds most interesting, Charlotte Gertrude. Another good recommendation from you, sisterkin. Into the BlackHole it goes! I read The Artist, the Philosopher and the Warrior and found it really interesting, so I hope you do give it another shot, Suz.

It dragged sometimes, but on the whole I liked it. The other book du jour today was Too Much Happiness , Alice Munro's latest story collection -- to be logged for my 50 Challenge. Impressive, wonderful writing as usual, but in a few cases notably the title story more ambitious and not always as successful. Still, even a not-quite-up-to-par Munro story is typically miles better than most short stories by other authors; she's someone who has mastered her genre so well that she makes the hard stuff look downright easy.

Touchstones

There are stories about child murderers and child manipulation, injury, death and desertion, and always present are Munro's key themes of dysfunction against the backdrop of the most ordinary of ordinary lives, and the physical landscape of southern Ontario. I could swear I know half a dozen of her characters myself. Some of these stories moved me more than others, but that's going to be a subjective experience, I think. I'm just amazed at what Munro can cram into two or three dozen pages and one or two characters.

Munro, however, reminds us of their inner lives. Suzanne Despite your migranes, you are reading at a remarkable rate.. I'm trying to control the tbr pile, but I want to add all your recent reads I'm sneaking out of here for now, but I know I'll return to add them I'm and OCB obsessive compulsive bookaholic. Some lighter fare, this time for my Challenge. It's an LT Early Reviewers book, so I'll have to pull together a review and post it, but probably not tonight as I've got a deadline for a column tomorrow and an early morning start.

France at the time of the St. Bartholemew's Day Massacre of Paris's Protestant population. Many books about her, like The Devil's Queen by Jeanne Kalogridis focus on her early years, when she was trapped in a menage a trois with her husband's mistress, and is alleged to have dabbled in poisons and black magic. Gortner, in contrast, emphasizes the way in which her difficult upbringing shaped her, and her later de facto rulership of France at the time that Elizabeth Tudor ruled England, as Catherine attempts to steer an even course between the competing religious factions and keep the pernicious Guise clan out of power.

It's an intriguing view of Catherine, but probably only of interest to those who are historical fiction afficionados. Definitely a better and less over the top read than Kalogridis: I like the sound of The Confessions of Catherine Off to the wish list it goes though. CB, if you want, you can even smell like Catherine: Apr 7, , 5: Book 41 for THIS challenge! The Reinvention of History by Donald Kagan. It's an interesting book and downright compelling in parts, when Kagan very ably shows the ways in which Thucydides cherry-picked his facts, glossing over some and puffing up others, to put together what is now seen as the definitive account of the Peloponnesian War and a model of disinterested, accurate historical reportage.

In fact, Kagan argues, to his contemporaries, this would have been seen as a very provocative work indeed. What is most interesting about this book is the ruminations it prompts: And, a century or two or millennia later, how will our heirs, who may have access only to a limited number of texts, end up with partial views or misconceptions about events and players and their motivations?

It's a topic that Thucydides -- along with Herodotus, one of the very earliest of historians -- couldn't have been expected to consider, and yet Kagan shows the consequences of this revisionist approach by him on modern scholarship. It's a revisionist reading of a revisionist historian. It's not going to be a great read for anyone who isn't already intrigued by the goings on in ancient Greece.

Chatterbox's 75-book Challenge for 2010: The Second Installment

Kagan builds his case by re-examining all the details of various turning points in the conflict, then analyzing how Thucydides tackled them. I think the best way to read this book would be alongside Thucydides itself, as you discover the chronicles of the Peloponnesian war for the first time. Otherwise, you risk knowing too much or too little about the war itself, and a big chunk of this book could end up feeling dreary. It's not going to be a great read for anyone who isn't already intrigued by the toings and goings of ancient Greece.

I saw this at Strand yesterday, and started to get it, as I knew you were reading it, but held off. Since I don't know much about ancient Greek history, I'm glad that I didn't get it. This one sounds more like an historiographer's playground than a general-interest book. Valuable, but not scintillating. Thanks for the review! Yes, it's odd -- it assumes a certain amount of knowledge but at the same time would probably feel repetitive to people with more than a certain amount of knowledge. I'm not sure where the balance is. I had read some Thucydides and other Greek historians, like Plutarch, but back in my 20s.

At times, I had to go back a few pages and re-read parts that my eyes had glazed over while reading the first time around. And yet other bits were really compelling. I think, frankly, this would have made a fascinating page book that was more focused. Sidenote -- I'm becoming illiterate. I think I muddled up the idea of goings on and going to and fro in my brain.

Early onset Alzheimer's or just writer's fatigue? Edited the comments to fix this. Richard, you're very right. I did find it interesting, as I have a bit of a historiography bent. And yet I ended up finding it more valuable for the thoughts it triggered rather than what Kagan said. Especially since we're now in the midst of our own Peloponnesian conflict, a multi-decade "war on terror".

Will the causes and events become similarly blurred over the coming centuries? What historians' works will survive? You could have fooled me. I thought toings was a legitimate word No problem; you're far more intelligent than a web browser. Who remembers the Babylonians's side trips through totalitarianism? If as much survives of our culture as of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, I'd be very surprised.

We ain't carvin' no books on temple walls. Can I put that tribute on my CV? My browser has trouble with the Peloponnesians However, I think you'd want someone just a bit more recognizable to write that. It's cheaper than freezing the whole body and when future generations revive you- so you can find out the answers you asked- you will get to attach your head to the body of your choice. Actually, I find it intriguing to speculate on how much of the digital data produced now will survive for hundreds or thousands of years.

So far, it's not looking so good. A lot of stuff is disappearing before it hits its teens. Well, some of it should probably disappear like my posts but I really do wonder how much is going to evaporate in the ether. Hmmm, much of the time I actually wouldn't mind a new head. One that doesn't get migraines, for instance. But yes, as I typed that I was thinking about digital data. I've read a lot recently about the transition to digital data and what is lost en route. It's interesting that now we're hyper conscious of the potential to lose records pre 14th century, when the Florentine humanists started digging around in old monastery libraries, it didn't much register we are deliberately entrusting many of them to unproven formats.

Robert Darnton has written some interesting stuff on that, most recently in The Case for Books. He has captured the feel of SE Asia -- the odors, the sounds, the quality of the light, even the texture of the air -- in a way that few other authors I've read have managed to accomplish as well as an incredible sense of the time and era in which the book is set: Adam flees to Jakarta, in search of a woman he has never met but who seems to mean a lot to Karl, his father: American anthropologist Margaret Bates, who now works at the university in the country's capital.

His quest to recover his father is caught up in his own mind with his lingering need in his own mind to know what happened to his older brother, Johan, adopted by a wealthy couple who left him behind in the orphanage. More dangerously, the quest is hijacked by Margaret's young assistant, Din, who insists that he must discover his true identity as an Indonesian revolutionary in order to be truly free of a "Past Life" Adam only vaguely remembers.

The story darts around in time and place, moving from Adam's struggles to those of Margaret to come to grips with the protective instincts she feels for Adam and her sense that her lifelong ability to "read" and understand the Indonesians around her is deserting her as the violence and anger escalates; there are also glimpses of the new life that Johan is living with his adoptive family in Malaysia, as he, too, struggles with the memory of the day he was forced to abandon his younger brother.

At its heart, this is a story about relationships at a time when the hard realities of politics disrupts them; as Sukarno tells Margaret, "the time for gifts has passed". He is referring to gifts between nations; the struggles of the novel's main characters is to ensure that isn't true of the kind of gifts that individuals exchange between themselves, regardless of their nation of origin, color of their skin, religion or other identity.

It's a complex, crowded novel, jammed with ideas about identity, about parent-child relationships, about violence and injustice. But the caliber of the writing makes what otherwise would be a rambling, perhaps even incoherent novel not only digestible but gripping and fascinating.

Highly recommended Good enough for me. Apr 7, , 8: And I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'll probably read it in May or June. Richard, if you're able to go there, Strand had Map of the Invisible World for sale. I can't remember if it was on the first floor on in the basement, though. Fortunately I already have both of these books.

Don't think about how much money you spend there, focus on how much you'll save by buying books there! The basement is a dangerous place. Oh, hi, Satan, thanks for calling back so quickly! But, it's your fault for reading and commenting in so many areas. Some of it is online and some not. There has been several articles and several debates in the letters section. It has been a dense complicated story that is getting even more complicated. The latest is the illustrators and photographers wanting a slice of the pie.

And the permission granters. If you gained permission to use lyrics, poems, and even graphs in a book then all those permission holders want a slice every book sale those appear in. So now- authors, publishers, agents, heirs, photographers, translators, graphic artists, illustrators, composers, and permission granters are all on the compensation list or at least trying to get on there. It gives me a headache just trying to follow it superficially. Accountants are never going to run out of work. Apr 7, , What I found interesting were some of his thoughts on how technology doesn't really "preserve" a work.

Yes, there are problems with preserving manuscripts and printed books, but we simply have no way to know yet what digital technology may have in the way of vulnerabilities -- and yet we're destroying the dead tree books to make way for digital versions. I admit I love my Kindle, but I'm going to be a prisoner of Random House accountants. I admit that my thread and my reading are all over the map. So, sadly, is my brain Or we could twist some devilish theme music out of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, just to rile the guy with the direct line to Satan still further??

I never heard of the Strand until Stasia lately hyperventilated when I told her I did not know about this store. She promptly sent the link to me Since I recently ordered a lot of books from bookcloseouts But, I did keep the link and will check it again..

Stasia is still hyperventilating over that: Suzanne, I did not have to add your recent reads to the BlackHole because they were already there. So glad that I won't be responsible for further massive additions to the Black Hole Linda, I'm with Stasia on this.

A bibliomaniac unfamiliar with Strand?? The book du jour is for my challenge: It's an excellent bio, although very dense; a few times I had to put it down for a couple of days. Still, Nokes doesn't get bogged down in trivia, like Johnson's myriad health problems or the witticisms painstakingly chronicled by Boswell; rather, he moves in a straightforward, chronological fashion through Johnson's life, examining from every possible angle the major events of his life, his almost perennial struggles to escape poverty and pursue his literary projects, including the great Dictionary for which he is known.

But there's also an extensive discussion of his many other works, from the Rambler essays to the lives of the poets, his final major work, as well as the literary exchanges with figures like Hester Thrale. Nokes, who died last year, does an excellent job. Recommended to anyone who is curious about Johnson and his circle, which included actor David Garrick and writer Oliver Goldsmith, as well as Frank Barber, the freed slave who ended up as the major heir of this conservative thinker's estate. A great picture of 18th century London here as well. Also recommended to anyone interested in Johnson is Henry Hitchings' marvellous book about the making of the dictionary, Defining the World.

That's a 5-star book, simply because it's less dense and makes for easier reading. The decision to re-read the first book in the trilogy was prompted by the fact that I went to see the Swedish movie based on the book a few weeks ago, and wanted to see how closely it resembled the book.

Still a 5-star read for me! I will look for that one. Johnson because of it. Thanks for the recommendation, Suz. I will be re-reading the first two over the summer in preparation for reading number three. Book one was a 5-star read for me the first go round, too. We will see how I feel about it on my re-read. Hopefully it will still be a 5-star read! I must be a mouth-breathing knuckledragger I Pearl-Ruled that bad boy Larsson on p30 or so, still in the bookstore. But y'all're telling me, with straight faces, that this was a 5-star read for each of you. Je ne comprends pas.

What can I say, Richard? I still love you any way. It's an intricate plot that takes time to develop; dunno what it was that grabbed me the first time, but it's a great story about a puzzle and an investigation, with some truly unique characters. The second book is just as strong; the third is slightly weaker, I think because there are limitations on what he can have one of his main characters do.

Trying to avoid spoilers here Then probably Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. I've heard a lot of divergent opinions on that one, so I'll be curious to see if I like it or not. Those will be my next two reads for this challenge, although over the weekend I'll have to read The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein, just to be protective.

There is a limit to the number of time's one can read one's own deathless prose before being carted off to the loony bin. Let us hope you have not reached that limit! And I count on that, Stasia. I've found that limit is three. After three times, there is no power on EARTH that could cause one to revisit this droning drivel without xanax or a pistol pointed at the beloved's head. I guess that'll remain one of my blind spots. Richard, in that case, I'm way over the limit and should be locked up for droning and drivelling.

This will be the fifth or sixth complete read-through since the MS was completed last November. Everyone stand back, Suzanne's a-gonna blow any second now! Just think, we're all going to be reading your prose very very soon!! Thanks for posting all your books on here. So be afraid, be very afraid. The package is sitting in my mailbox; I can't force myself to go downstairs and get it. Also have a biggish freelance piece due Monday. And I started the Ian Johnson book last night, and it's very good.

Plus, I need to go and say goodbye to the waterlilies at MoMA. Go look at waterlilies to feed your soul, to paraphrase the old maxim. I just love it when my projects cross-fertilize. Was doing the final interview for this feature, with a private banker. He was talking about legacy issues, and I thought to ask him if any of his clients are interested in genealogy since that's the next book project.

Turns out they include major shareholders in Ancestry. And yes, water lilies and recreational reading will take my mind off the meeting I have to have re promoting book 1 in 2 weeks' time I thought to ask him It pays to be curious! I'm not much of a crime fiction fan but all three of Steig Larsson's books hooked me right from the get go.

Richard's going to stop talking to me! Did someone hear something? Apr 9, , 6: I've been interested in genealogy for a while. Unfortunately, eventually you hit the wall of how uninformative the early censuses were and, absent family or church records, it becomes a bit hard to track anything.

I'll be interested to see your take on Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. I've also heard a ton of very divergent reviews Which of course meant that I had to go to Strand. Also added to my Kindle this week: I am going to need another threescore years and ten. I also adore that kind of documentary photography. Nice Strand haul, Suzanne!

The book du jour was logged for my challenge: A Murderous Procession by Ariana Franklin. This is the fourth in a series of 12th century mysteries by veteran author Ariana Franklin who also has written under the name of Diana Norman. Her main character is Sicilian-born Adelia Aguilar, a trained physician who is sent to Henry II's England in response to the latter's request for someone with the skills to cure illness and investigate mysterious deaths.

Over the eight or so years covered in the previous books, Adelia has built a new life for herself and her young daughter, when Henry announces he wants her to travel back to Sicily, this time in the train of his daughter, Princess Joanna, who is going to marry the king. But an old enemy is also in the ranks of the large procession, and won't stop at anything to exact his revenge on her, even if it means taking the lives of others.

This is a historically fascinating read, as the journey and Adelia's adventures take her through not only Norman France but south to Aquitaine and then to the Languedoc, just as the Cathars are beginning to be persecuted for heresy, before reaching its climax in Palermo.

This meets my test of being a "thumping good read", and while the first book in this series is excellent, I found myself enjoying this one more, simply because of the fascinating backdrop of Joanna's real-life journey to Sicily.

I wouldn't recommend reading this without having read previous books, however, as too many plot and character details will be obscure. To anyone interested in historical fiction, I'd also recommend Diana Franklin's trilogy following the life and adventures of Makepeace, a budding revolutionary in Boston in the s, who fishes a British nobleman out of the harbor and They follow the adventures of Makepeace and those close to her across two continents and several decades, ending in the Reign of Terror in revolutionary France.

They start with A Catch of Consequence. I am jealous of your haul!

The books du jour: This was an advance copy received via the Amazon. I'll just say that it's a provocative and meticulous look at an unknown episode of history -- the growth of political Islam in western Europe, specifically a mosque in Munich that grew out of a group of former Soviet Muslim recruits to Germany's armed forces in WW2, then was encouraged by the Americans and Germans for their own purposes. I sometimes got bogged down in the details, but the narrative was fascinating and will be interesting to anyone remotely interested in Cold War history or the rise of minority groups in western Europe in the postwar era.

For my book challenge, another non-fiction read with Cold War connections. It's Kati Marton's memoir about her parents' experiences in Hungary in the s, Enemies of the People. This was a 5 star story, but the writing was vapid, to be put it mildly, which made for a big contrast with the story of two Hungarian journalists working for the Associated Press who are reckless and run afoul of Hungary's secret police.
