It sounds kind of Neil Gaiman-ish. And I mean that in a good way.

I'm listening to One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey. Enjoying it with a nice pipe!

I'm about two-thirds of the way through Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope for the third time. Those interested may wish to DL the PDF of this 1,367 page opus at: http://www.carrollquigley.net/pdf/Tragedy_and_Hope.pdf.
A few others of Prof. Quigley's works are also available through the root site.

Just finished book 1 of the soulkeepers series. Liked it enough to buy the other five from amazon (kindle)

Ok, we live in the middle of nowhere and have only minimal broadcast, antenna TV. So yeah, I had heard of the Game of Thrones television series, but somehow had missed the fact that it was initially a book series. I'm almost at the end of the third volume after just under three weeks of reading. Love 'em. I'm hooked.

Currently plowing through H2O... meh. One of those self-published books on amazon. Started ok, but really getting silly. Wouldn't recommend it. |

I think 'Dust' wraps up the series quite nicely.

I haven't read anything else by him, but I've got 'Halfway Home' in my Amazon wish list.

I re-read the Hyperion series every couple of years. I'm currently about 1/4 of the way through the last one, 'Rise of Endymion'.

In the last couple weeks I read...
All 4 books of The Hyperion Cantos, which were good, but about 3 books too long. Childhood's End - Arthur C. Clarke. Might have been a real piece that spoke at a time, but I didn't think it was all that great. Not nearly for the accolades it gets. Going Postal - Terry Pratchett. Funny and kept me hooked. Lock In - John Scalzi. It was pretty good. I'd recommend it. I am Legend - Richard Matheson. I started reading it yesterday morning and never put it down till I was done last night. I loved it. It was nothing like the movie, as you can imagine, wasn't strung out an extra 10,000 words, and was pretty damned awesome. Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut. Bleh. I know there were a few more in there that I finished, and at least 3 or 4 that I started that were so awful I gave up. I Am Legend was easily the best of the bunch. Edit: I just saw the couple posts above. I thought I was the only person in the world who ever waded through The Cantos. ![]()
