I started re-reading Stephen King's Misery. One of my favorites by him, though after that I'll probably read Cujo.

Blood Song- Anthony Ryan

Quote:
An epic fantasy exploring themes of conflict, loyalty and religious faith. Vaelin Al Sorna, Brother of the Sixth Order, has been trained from childhood to fight and kill in service to the Faith. He has earned many names and almost as many scars, acquiring an ugly dog and a bad-tempered horse in the process. Ensnared in an unjust war by a king possessed of either madness or genius, Vaelin seeks to answer the question that will decide the fate of the Realm: …who is the one who waits?

Blood Song is the first volume of Raven's Shadow - a new epic fantasy of war, intrigue and tested faith.

"Anthony Ryan is a new fantasy author destined to make his mark on the genre. His debut novel, Blood Song, certainly has it all: great coming of age tale, compelling character, and a fast-paced plot. If his first book is any indication of things to come, then all fantasy readers should rejoice as a new master storyteller has hit the scene." -- Michael J. Sullivan, author of The Riyria Revelations

"Anthony Ryan’s Blood Song is a tremendous debut; it has a fast paced, action packed and character driven story. Qualities to admire in any genre story and most of all in an epic fantasy." -- Fantasy Book Critic blog
was excellent, compelling. The sequel, Tower Lord is also very good

Quite a fun book.

Peter and Max, by Bill Willingham. I've been reading all the Fables stuff; it's really good.

Also reading With the Old Breed, by EB Sledge. I recently rewatched HBO's The Pacific, which is partially based on this book.

Also rereading Song of Ice and Fire.

Just started listening to Neil Patrick Harris' autobiography. It's clear he had a ghost writer, but no shame in that. It's funny as shit. I cackled twice just in the 15-minute drive home. It was written as a "Choose Your Own Adventure," which you would think wouldn't port well into audiobook form, but so far it's working.
