let's see, I recently read the following:
Leviathan by Zachary Harper (epic poem in style of Beowulf- a parable of man's response to guilt and death)
The Only Thing I See by Jessica Barksdale Inclan (sort of a chick lit romance)
A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor by Robert Pielke (aliens, time travel to the past, first in a planned trilogy)
(links go to my reviews, review of the last book will go up on my
website tomorrow as part of a book tour)
