Currently Reading…

I lost track of when I started reading these books, but I am presently in the middle of the second book of the Magicians Trilogy, by Lev Grossman:

  1. The Magicians
  2. The Magician King
  3. The Magician’s Land

These books are really good!  Very different from your “typical” fantasy.  Here is what amazon.com says:

Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius, he’s secretly fascinated with a series of children’s fantasy novels set in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams may have come true. But his newfound powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he ever could have imagined . . .

The Magicians is one of the most daring and inventive works of literary fantasy in years. No one who has escaped into the worlds of Narnia and Harry Potter should miss this breathtaking return to the landscape of the imagination.

Fun, fun!  🙂

UPDATE:  I finished the 3rd and final book of this series on Feb. 26.  It was a very enjoyable ride!
