Now I'm reading Dana Stabenow's 9th Kate Shugak book, Hunter's Moon.

As for Wool -- I'm just going to have to break down and read this, I think. I've got it on my Kindle, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I just finished reading Hunter's Moon and enjoyed it a lot! I found it to be exciting, suspenseful, sad and triumphant!

I netflixed the movie, John Carter and watched it on Thursday (right before I went to see Prometheus on Friday). I thought that it was really good and it did not seem to deviate too far from it's source material (Princess of Mars). It's really too bad it didn't do very well at the box office. So, I've decided to re-read Princess of Mars. It's included in MobilRead's Barsoom Omnibus, which contains all 11 Barsoom novels and is available from the Patricia Clark Memorial Library.
