The book is REALLY good - especially the author's notes he puts in the middle.

Heh, we have one of these in Amphitheatre, the JC, and here.

I have started the Iain Baks Culture book The Player Of Games, reprinted along with the release of Matter.

Superpowers by David J. Schwartz. Great fun so far.

The first three trades of Y the Last Man. I'm about to start the second trade and yes it's as good as advertised. Then with the Good Prince trade collected for Fables I think it's a good time to read my entire collection again.

The Quest for Saint Camber by Katherine Kurtz and whatever the 8th LotF book is. But I'll be baking on a beach for a week, so plenty of reading will get done grin

Reading NEVERWHERE by Neil Gaiman. It's very good. Second book of his that I've read after AMERICAN GODS, which I also enjoyed.

Before that I read PUSHING ICE by Alastair Reynolds and loved it. Very reminiscent of Clarke's RENDESVOUS WITH RAMA.

How is everyone? I really don't stop in here very often, but things are looking nice. coffee

I've read a couple of things by Gaimon and haven't been impressed,

Jingo, as you can tell I'm on a Pratchett kick.

Also I bought Storm Front, I hope to find this series as enjoyable as Raven does.

New Jedi Order: Traitor

Finishing up the last hundred pages or so, then I'll skip to The Unifying Force. Traitor is great and all, but I've read much better. I guess it's just praised for having such controversial ideals about the Force.

I've been reading SQUEE'S Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors By Jhonen Vasquez. It's a really good book.

I was stuck at an airport for 7 hours today, so I hopped into the little book store and picked up "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood." The writing style is definitely archaic and it has funny little summary points in the margins, but overall it's a great read.
