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!

Darkover Landfall - Marion Zimmer Bradley
Stormqueen - Marion Zimmer Bradley

I've just finished reading April Fools Day by Bryce Courtenay.

Now I'm reading the second book in the final chronicals of Thomas Covenant. by Stephen Donaldson.

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.
