The Anasi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I am enjoying it.

DanaC · 01-24-2008, 08:30 PM

ooooh. Anansi Boys! I just read that last week! Excellent book.

Radar · 01-24-2008, 08:32 PM

I never get to read for fun anymore. It's all for work.

I read anansi boys a couple months ago. it's kinda cool. has that whole "storytime" feel to it. especially in audiobook format, read by a guy with a rich Carribean accent.

The "Ender's Shadow" series by Orson Scott Card.
I'm halfway through the 2nd book, but it's excellent per usual.

He's one of my favorite authors, but I never got around to reading this particular string of novels...even though the Ender series was just about my favorite of his works.

Grace After Midnight, by Felicia "Snoop" Pearson. A bit of insight into one of the more chilling characters on "The Wire".

Just finished The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, which didn't annoy me at all in it's portrayal of a potential afterlife, it was just sweet and whimsical. I think perhaps it intended to be moving, but it didn't hit the mark with me.

I'm going to pick up some new books today as I have 7 free on this card (I'm like people who see credit card limits and and think that's how much they have to spend). Despite the fact I have 6 books at home on my Woolwich library card... and 3 books I bought from Save the Children... Greedy, greedy!

The Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny. It's been a while since I first read this.

Hey, Happy Monkey, that brings back happy memories. Anyone a Wild Cards fan? There's a new Wild Cards book, Inside Straight, edited by George R.R. Martin, which is the best Wild Cards book in a long time. Kind of a aces-in-the-21st-century piece.

I met George R.R. Martin, Melinda Snodgrass, and a bunch of the other Wild Cards authors when I was involved in a local science fiction convention, so the series has a special place in my heart and memories.
