I really enjoyed Todd A's first novel, Being Good. His next one is almost ready, and I can't wait to read it. If you have any interest at all in discovering what it takes to do all this, check out Todd's blog.
Thursday night, I finished reading Peter Spiros's Saniya. I'm not sure what I expected when I opened it, but it was a damn good read, very sweet, and a nice break from my usual fare.
Then last night, I got to the last page of Tobias Buckell's Crystal Rain. The right/libertarian side of the blogosphere has been buzzing about this book for a couple weeks now, and all I can add is that the buzz is dead-on.
Next up: Ghost Brigades and Prayers for the Assassin. Can't wait!
You have to be kidding me. You have a little kid and time to read multiple novles? I need to order some of that. It took me four months to read The Diamond Age because it had to be done in the bathroom, in three page increments.
Although, next up, Prayers for the Assassin. I'm guessing I'll finish it by the time my summer beach novel comes out in paperback.
Friggin' kids.
I finished Crystal Rain last week and I concur. Buzz, buzz, buzz. Putting the first third up for free online was a brilliant move. Certianly made me buy it sooner than I had planned.
Have about 30 pages left to go in Ghost Brigades. John Certainly didn't let down those of us who really liked Old Man's War.
