Tunnel in the Sky and The Door Into Summer (not a Juvenile) are favorites of mine as is his fantasy epic!!! Glory Road!
Starship Troopers is one of my all time favourite reads.
I'd highly highly highly recommend it!

It's nice to know there are constants in this crazy, ever changing world.

So I've gone from not wanting to read anything, to now wanting to read everything!!

I'm currently torn between: The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker (a new to me author) vs The Prophet of Panamindorah, a complete trilogy by Abigail Hilton (a familiar author whose work I enjoy).

I've read the first few pages of both works; I'm interested in both and I think I would enjoy either.

Then how about this (It's very near the top of my TBR list):

Revival by Stephen King (Published November 11th 2014 by Scribner)
Quote:
The horror maestro's new novel, Revival, is a Frankenstein-inspired story of fate, rock and roll, religion, and addiction, with a conclusion as terrifying as they come.
Quote:
A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life.

In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs -- including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.

Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties -- addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate -- Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Cool Goodreads Voting Ending Soon
Quote:
Goodreads Voting Ending Soon, Plus Auctions, Podcasts, and More!

GOODREADS VOTING ENDING SOON

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to vote in the Goodreads Choice Awards! Skin Game is a contender for Best Fantasy of 2014. If you haven’t voted in the final round yet, make sure your voice is heard!

ALERA MAP AUCTIONED FOR WORLDBUILDERS

A Codex Alera map poster signed by Jim Butcher and artist Priscilla Spencer is up for auction to benefit Worldbuilders, Pat Rothfuss’ annual charity drive for Heifer International! Heifer fights global poverty and hunger by empowering and educating people around the world. Priscilla’s maps for Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles and Myke Cole’s Shadow Ops series are also represented in this batch, plus signed books and artwork and other awesome goodies! Check them out.

PODCAST INTERVIEWS

Jim was recently on two podcasts, Beyond the Trope and The Once And Future Podcast–this time returning for Anton to interview him!

COMIC UPDATE

Some of you have reported hearing conflicting things about the War Cry release date from your local book and comics stores. It appears that with the holiday backlog, some copies did not make it out of the distribution center in time, resulting in delays. Hopefully, everything will sort itself out promptly, and this glitch won’t get in the way of any holiday gifting plans! Apologies for any inconvenience.

He doesn't use his rod every time. That is how a building burned down in Grave Peril when he gets Kelly.
