Been doing a lot of reading lately... started and finished a short story by Brandon Sanderson called
Firstborn -- nice little read. I also read
Warbreaker and
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Would like to see some sequels to these books -- I thought they were both very good.
Also read
Containment by Christian Cantrell an SF novel about the first colony on Venus. And I read
Treason by Orson Scott Card. This was an early work from Card that he touched up a bit before publishing.
Now I am trying to decide whether to read
The Great Santini or
The Count of Monte Cristo... Tough choice
