I am now reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's looking good so far!!

I'm continuing my reading of westerns with Gunman's Reckoning by Max Brand. Good ole western yarn. These come in handy when I need to escape.

That was a great book, I highly recommend it. Another good one by Krakauer is Into Thin Air.

A high-quality SF short story.

Next up: Sten by Allan Cole. Bought in April 2009.

Just finishing up a complete re-read of the Bujold Vorkosigan saga. I started this because I realized that I had really lost track of everything that had gone on in the series as I had mostly read it when they originally were released, which goes back a long way. What's interesting is how well the older books have stood the test of time, even the first sort of "non-series" book in the universe, Falling Free. I've really enjoyed this re-read which I should finish up today as I'm about 1/2 way through the last, Cryoburn. I highly recommend the series, which is available now directly on Amazon, or from Baen . Most of the books are available in omnibus editions, which can get a bit confusing. And this is complicated by some rights reversions and the new agreement with Amazon. But you can certainly get the individual books.

I started reading The Game by Monica Hughes. It is a young adult book. I also accidentally ordered it in paper... oh the horror... so I am reading it that way. First time I've read a pbook (at least fiction) in quite a while. The book is not too long and I have 5 days off in a row... so I should finish it in that time.

Everything by Krakauer is good. I also recommend Into The Wild by him.

I completed my read of A Deeper Sleep by Dana Stabenow! It was, as is usual for her books, a very enjoyable read, a visit with old friends. Now for one of the books that was not on my TBR (or on my Amazon wish list) till I got it for Christmas from my youngest son, Matt. It looks to be an interesting read. We'll see soon anyway. It's called Night Watch, first in a trilogy by Sergei Lukyanenko.

I enjoyed that, more in the first half than the second, but not enough to read a sequel.

An enjoyable fast-paced thriller. Action packed from start to finish!

I haven't yet decided what to read next. It's either The Hobbit or The Name of the Wind.
