What I'm Reading
I don't know why, but readers like to know what authors are reading. When I have my reader hat on, I feel the same way. So, here's what's on my nightstand at the moment:
- Rules of Ascension by David B. Coe -- First in a fantasy series by a friend.
- Cats' Paws and Catapults by Steven Vogel -- Non-fiction about biomechanics.
- The Deptford Trilogy by Robertson Davies -- Three books by the reknowned Canadian author. Fantastic, so far.
These books are my year-long books -- books that I read a little bit of here and there, taking the year (sometimes a bit longer) to finish:
And here's what was on the nightstand that I liked enough to bother mentioning:
- Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready -- Vampire novel by an author I met at Ravencon.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 -- Graphic novel by the Joss-man himself.
- Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya -- best-seller from the 1950s about India.
- Bitterwood by James Maxey -- Fantasy where Dragons rule the world and men are slaves.
- World War Z by Max Brooks -- A faux-history of the Zombie War.
- Manhunt by James L. Swanson -- Non-fiction about the 12-Day hunt for John Wilkes Booth.
- The League of Extraordinary Gentleman by Alan Moore -- Classic graphic novel.
- Mattimeo by Brian Jacques -- Another Redwall book.
- The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell -- Classic discussion on myths and legends.
- Cell by Stephen King -- King in Classic horror mode. Lots of fun.
- Love and War by John Jakes -- Second in the Civil War Trilogy.
- Fool Moon by Jim Butcher -- Book 2 in the Dresden Files. Great mystery/fantasy series
