Ok, that makes sense. Didn't know you could swing more than one.

Finally got the two Rider books a bit ago, so I'm reading Rider at the Gate by C.J. Cherryh.

As many liberties as it may have taken, I've always liked the David Lynch movie better.

Just finished the third book in Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone series and I HATED IT. So sick of non-Dresden franchise series... aka non-trilogy series in YA. The book could've ended nicely, but instead has to...

Spoilers


Taking a break from YA after two books to read The Golem and the Jinni.

Just got a collection of short stories from Patricia Briggs on the Mercy Thompson series that finally included Alpha and Omega, which she had sold in the beginning and apparently has finally gotten back her rights on it so she could publish it for herself as well.

Finished Color of Earth and am reading Why I Write. From here I'll read some writing therapy books to research a work-in-progress.

Read Snowcrash. It was great. For those of you who don't know, it's probably the second most important cyberpunk book ever written*. In the later parts author appeal gets a little heavy, but it's still a great book.

After that I started reading Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Never read any Edgar Allan Poe before, but I'm starting to think he's overrated. Guy just doesn't know when to stop writing. The descriptive bits go on and on and on until I lose interest. The stuff happening/word count ratio is criminally low. Guy totally had a fetish for really long sentences too.

Just started reading Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. I've wanted to read this book for a long time now and I'm pretty excited.

*#1 spot goes to Neuromancer for starting the genre.

I need to get around to both Snowcrash & HGttG.

Currently reading the second Rider book by CJ Cherryh, Cloud's Rider. People who said these books are scary must be equinophobes. Decent scifi-ish western, but not scary, imo.

Has anyone read "The Way of Kings"? I'm thinking that's going to be next on my list - I really enjoyed how Sanderson finished up WoT.

Have not read The Way of Kings. Elantris & Legion are on my near future reading list though.

Since last time, I read 2 Monster Hunter International books, The Lies of Locke Lamora and a book that I did not finish (stopped at 3/4), and reading right now the Maze Runner Series, currently at the half of book 2.
