Some of the books I've been reading since last post: Infernal City - Placed in the world of Elder Scrolls. Interesting stuff ... Warbreaker - One volume fantasy epic. Extremely entertaining world with lots of throwaway inventiveness. Could easily been padded with fluff to a series to line some pockets. Shows that the Wheel of Time replacement write isn't some hack. Availablefor free electronically under Creative Commons. A Deepness in the Sky, A Fire Upon the Deep - Great Hard SF/Space Opera combo placed in the same universe. Desert Spear - Continuing the great Painted Man book. We get to know the origins of one evil dude. Turns out it doesn't make him any more likeable Superb imagination at work. Best Served Cold - Companion piece to the First Law trilogy. Ever darker, ever more morally ambiguous. Could almost taste the blood House of Mystery - Very readable occult comic anthology. Dark Entries - Crime novelist Ian Rankin writes a Hellblazer album. Nuff said!
