Off Armageddon Reef
By David Weber It's pretty OK so far....I'm not crazy about the narrator at this point....but he's tolerable I guess. |

Without internet, I find that I am reading more.
Since the move ... Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley (much angrier book than I recall. I must have been angrier then, too.) Armageddon: The Musical - Robert Rankin (supposed to be humorous, ended up just being confusing; if you happen across a copy of this, don't bother) Darwin's Radio - Greg Bear (heavy, confusing, well-described science, middling character development; will not seek out sequel) Seaward - Susan Cooper (fantasy novel written by author of The Dark is Rising Sequence, not part of that series, probably intended for teen readers. meh.)

I read Mandrake a little while back. Seemed to lack the cohesion and character development of The Dark is Rising series, I was very disappointed. Although perhaps it was just adult cynicism for an adult subject. A couple of the set pieces stood out and are still in my mind.

Just finished Skullduggery Pleasant, by Derek Landy, (alluded to in another thread, not pleasant). I found it immensely enjoyable, and I eagerly anticipate further adventures of these characters. Four stars!

I'm on a Michael Chabon rave recently. Just finished Wonder Boys, and read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay last month. Both highly recommended.
