April '08: What Are You Reading?

[Krug]

Just finished Stiff by Mary Roach. About human cadavers and all the stuff that we do with 'em. Fun.

OOh that's a good one, the second in the series Olympos only gets better.

After The Hyperion Cantos and Ilium/Olympos, Dan Simmons has become one of my favorite authors.

After a long spell not reading anything, I just recently finished reading Star Wars- Exile and Sacrifice, books 4 and 5 in the Legacy of the Force series. To sate my thirst for Star Wars until I get ahold of books 6-8, I'm now reading Star Wars- Death Star. It's okay so far, but the Legacy of the Force series is much better. I can't wait to get the other books and read them. I believe the final book in the series (#9) comes out in May.

I just received The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie, but I have to finish Feast of Souls by C.S. Friedman first!

Inspired by some of what y'all are reading, I did a search for Night Shade Books at the NY public library and turned up all kinds of goodness - I quickly maxed out my 15 allowable inter-library loans. I'm particularly psyched about Liz Williams' Detective Chen books and the Manly Wade Wellman and David Drake fantasy short collections. I didn't recognize all of the Night Shade authors, but I know enough of what they're publishing is awesome that I'd take a chance on one of their books sight unseen.

Sadly, NYPL doesn't have many Planet Stories books, another publisher I feel the same way about.
