I sat in front of my computer reading Jack London's The Call of the Wild until 3 a.m last night. I hadn't read it since school, so I thought it was time to refresh my memory.

The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams
I just finished reading the Crooked Letter by Sean Williams (Books of the Cataclysm 1).
I enjoyed it very much and plan on picking up book two this week.
Hard to describe the book without giving things away...basically it is a modern fantasy dealing with two mirror twins that bring about a cataclysm. The twins get separated, one in the new fantasy world made by the cataclysm and the other in the underworld. It has a ton of gods and goddess as well as some farrealm-ish concepts...realms beyond realms...gods being just powerful individuals...and quite crazy. fun stuff.

Just finished Small Favors, the latest Harry Dresden novel. Just as good as all the others. Mmmmm.
I also finished up In the Courts of the Crimson Kings, by SM Sterling. It's the companion book to The Sky People, about an alternate universe where the dreams of life on our nearest planets turned out to be true. The previous book featured a Venus of jungles, dinosaurs and women in fur bikinis. This book is about Mars.
Right now, I'm reading Devil's Cape by Rod Rogers, one of WoTC's Discoveries books. It's a world of superheroes, and Devil's Cape is a town where evil has always won.

Not reading much right now. Just Chronicles of the Crusades by Jean de Joinville and Geffroy de Villehardouin, translated by Margaret R. B. Shaw.

A good trilogy, but you can tell he had more time to write the first one that the other two. They are still great.
I like the maps...
Eärwa Map 4109 Year-of-the-Tusk
The Western Three Seas Map 4109 Year-of-the-Tusk
And then there is the glossary...(I love it when books include them)

Humphrey Carter's biography of Tolkien is on tap right now, as well as a book called the Listener's Guide to Choral Masterworks.
I'm also re-reading the 1E Player's Handbook and T1/I3-5/G1-3 in anticipation of starting a 1E campaign in the near-distant future. (My wife wants to try an earlier edition of D&D than 3E, and now looks like a good time to try it.)
