Reading a compilation of stories called "Zombie's, The recent Dead"
e-reader book for cheap. But it's got some great authors including Neil Gaiman. |

Do you want straight scifi or fantasy or steampunk?
I like Asimov and Orson Scott Card for scifi plus Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut.Can't go wrong with H.P. Lovecraft either though he is more horror. For urban fantasy I like Neil Gaiman, comedic fantasy is Terry Pratchett, and straight fantasy I like Michael Moorcock. For steampunk H.G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lavie Tidhar and Gail Carriger.

Thanks Wolf. Any Sci fi subgenre (no fantasy). I especially like Cyberpunk (William Gibson, for example). I also like Card. I think Gaiman and Lovecraft might suit me. Melissa |

I'm back reading James Patterson's Alex Cross series...way behind.
Right now I'm reading I, Alex Cross and have no idea at the moment how many more he's written since that one.

I've just finished 'The Imperfectionists' by Tom Rachman
It was enjoyable but quite slow and ambling. Now I have several books that I started but wasn't immediately taken with.. I used to have a rule that I would read at least the 1/3 of a book, and if that point I still wasn't in to it - I could walk away from it. Now I seem to have a shorter attention span. Any feedback on this list? The Night Watch by Sarah Waters Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

The end of the term is a week from Wednesday. Which for me means I can read something other than A & P II stuff. I have loaded my Color Nook with some wish list items and have many paper books I hope I can make a dent on in one weeks time before next term begins. Wish me luck? I have some titles I would like to share but can't remember them off of the top of my head. Happy reading everyone!
