Just finished rereading Expiration Date by Tim Powers. What always amazes me about Powers is how he slips in the stuff he made up along with all sorts of real world details so that your never quite sure that it's not something real that you never heard of until it becomes really important.

Just started Rosemary and Rue by Seannan McGuire. If it keeps up at the level it started at, I'm going to be picking up the other October Daye books in pretty short order.

It's a very enjoyable read so far, blazed through 146 pages before forcing myself to get some sleep last night.

Just finished the Mistborn trilogy.

Wow.

I have no idea how the hell Brandon Sanderson manages to be so prolific.

The Steam sale smacked my entertainment budget on the back of its head and dragged it into a dark alley.

I'm rereading Dungeon World with the intent of running soon. I'm also reading some programming books to refresh things for interviews.

Just started K. J. Parker's Sharps, which is another book about fencing. She's damn good at writing about fencing.

And it's PACKED with references to her previous works, if you know what to look for. I suspect this may tie many of her previous works into one setting; I consider them all to be in the same meta-setting, since there are so many similarities in feel, but there's been nothing to tie them into a definitive setting or sequence so far...

Just finished re-reading CJ Cherryh's Downbelow Station. Have started James S.A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes.

It's been good thus far.

Finished Cabal---didn't really like it all that much. Just . . . meh.


Started reading Ender's Game. (I know, I know, no link needed.) I've never read it and when I saw it at the used book sale at the Denver Public Library, I knew I had to pick it up and finally read it.

Of course, I loved that coincidentally it was mentioned in FtB 271, which I just finished listening to.
