The Deserter.

And I hate to sound pushy,
but if you haven't already read that and The Inferior, you should.

And look at this!
You can actually get them new for less than $7 and that includes shipping....

Actually, he may be chagrined by the fact they've been remaindered,
but I'm willing to take that risk.
Much as I'd like everyone to buy and read my books,
I have to admit that his not only cost less,
but have garnered much more widespread critical acclaim.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.

Pretty good so far, but unfortunately, when I get time to read, it means I usually fall asleep in my chair a couple pages in.

So far, it has failed the blanket test, which means if it makes a better blanket when I fall asleep than a book, I will stop reading it. 1/8th of the way in and I'm still chipping away!

The Algebraist by Iain M Banks

Interesting, in a galactic sort of way. Not his best - that's The Crow Road - but still better than most.

I'm between novels at the moment (due to just finishing 'Kraken' by China Mieville). I'll be starting on The Mongoliad pt. 2 in a moment.

Kraken comes highly recommended, but it's not what I'd call an easy read.

Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. It's fab.

It's that damn time tunnel behind my house! It's constantly spewing out hippies that end up needing to be fed.

I'm reading Now You See Her by James Patterson. It's the first one of his books I've read. I'm not too sure about his style yet.

Jonathan Strange. See my comment above. But I just finished Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor . In some ways, I think this is even better about the corrupting effects of war than Suzanne Collins, and it's very well written. I've also started Hooked by Liz Fichera. Not great literature, but so far it's light, charming and fun, and I'm in the mood for that.

Oh, and Semper Fidelis, by Ruth Downie, set in 1st-2d century Britain. I love this series! Doctor Ruso and his native wife, Tilla, are wonderful characters.

Hmm, I've been doing a lot of pre-reading for my daughter lately (though I tend to enjoy the books so she's just my excuse - lol) so I just finished "The Fairy's Return and Other Princess Tales" by Gail Carson Levine. Next up is "Eon" by Alison Goodman & "The Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale, both of which I have to return to the library soon. But those are for me - they're both too old for my munchkin.
