I'm still really enjoying John Scalzi's Old Man's War. I have this book one and book three (The Last Colony) in pbook. I'm just missing book two (The Ghost Brigades) and four (Zoe's Tale).

Do I need to read those? I've heard that book two is not as good.

A couple great reads
In between catching up on the Evanovich Plum novels I've caught a couple wonderful stories (which I wouldn't have read if not gifted them for my b-day) The first was Michael Marshall's Killer Moves and the other was Before I Go To Sleep. Usually I do cozies but these were super intriguing.

I really enjoyed book one. But I thought it was a complete story, so never did go on to book two.

Near-future science fiction. Quite fun so far.
A good SF thriller, although I'm a bit uncomfortable with several of the premises of the story. I feel I have to suspend my disbelief more often than I should to be asked to do. I still enjoyed it more than any of the Hooded Swan books.

And now I'll move on to Silverlock by John Myers Myers

A classic fantasy that was recommended in one of the favourite fantasy novel threads.

Currently reading:

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Wild Things, Stephen James and David Thomas
Playful Parenting, Lawrence J. Cohen
The Druid of Shannara, Terry Brooks

I usually only read two at a time, one non-fiction and one fiction, so this is a little weird, but the stupid -- said in the most loving way -- Kindle makes multiple reading so easy.

For my part, I'm done with reading Lord Foul's Bane. I liked it. A pretty good read, but the endless whining of the Unbeliever does get a wee bit tiresome. Hopefully, there's less "woe is me" and more plot developments in the rest of the series. And on that note, I have now started the second Thomas Covenant book, The Illearth War.

I am also reading The Lies of Locke Lamora (the first in Scott Lynch's The Gentleman Bastard Sequence) on my Nook simultaneously.

(Well, not really simultaneously. I can only read one at a time...)

Started Sweet Masterpiece-- intriguing idea. A Baker works part time for the government cleaning up repossessed homes. She usually has to break into them so is good with lockpicks and such. And naturally some houses have problems. After this I think I'll do Idoru. Zero History (William Gibson) was a great read and now I want to go back and catch the the ones I've forgotten.

Finished Solis and Naked City. The Jim Butcher story was good, but I think Delia Sherman's "How the Pooka Came to New York City" was my favorite of all the stories. I dug up Overtime, a short story from Tor that's been sitting on my Kindle for forever and finished that. It's a really enjoyable Cthuloid horror story with a comic edge. I'm anxiously awaiting Butcher's Ghost Story on the 26th even though I'm already grumbling about the absurd price.

I've discovered a marvelous new side to an author I've known only as a writer of WW II spy novels. Manning Coles, who wrote a series of Tommy Hambledon spy novels in the 1940's & 1950's, also wrote ghost stories! Madcap, Wodehousian ghost stories, in which 2 members of the Latimer family are allowed to "return" (along with their claret-drinking pet monkey Ulysses) whenever a living family member is threatened. Sparkling dialogue, improbable plots, and lots of comedy!

Unfortunately they are only available AFAIK as pbooks published by Rue Morgue press.

I'm currently reading "Come and Go."
