        Hi all.
        I'm having a bit of a Battletech fix book wise.
        I've just finished 'Main Event' by Jim Young and have started D.R.T the sequel.

          Oh and I'm working my way through The Priest's Graveyard (Ted Dekker) which is pretty wild. Not enjoying it as much as some of his stuff.

          Oh and earlier in the month while I was travelling overseas I read Agatha H. and the Airship City (Girl Genius webcomic novelisation) which was quite fun. Science!
          I love all the Honor books by Weber, but I also love his other stuff, too. He is in my top 5 all time favorite authors. I am currently reading the Fate of the Jedi: Conviction. I will have to wait 2 more months for the next book and then 6? months after that for the following book. That is the only thing that makes me crazy on starting a new series!

            There's quite a few Dresden fans.
            Cyberpunk, think the origin of that subculture.

            Reading Way of Kings, like the ease of readability of Sanderson, doesn't go for that pretentious high prose stuff. He also tends to be more down and dirty, focusing mostly on 'lower class' happenings in fantasy instead of mostly upper class drama crap.

                    It appears I'm having a Battletech session as to the books I'm reading at the moment.
                    I'm re-reading my Battletech collection book by book.

                      I just started a book called the Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It is hilarious--I'm getting weird looks from people in the waiting room!

                        I so love Thursday Next. That series is a lot of fun.

                          I just popped into a bookstore while waiting for a movie (x-men) and picked up the next Honor book I'm up to, yay!
                          Oh and they had Green and Blue Mars for when I get around to starting and finishing Red Mars

                            Finished reading "Terminal World" by Alastair Reynolds. Good book but it ends to soon for my taste.

                            Next up is "Battle for Committment planet" by Graham Sharp Paul.

                              Terminal World is the only one of his books that I have left to read. Have you read his Revelation Space series or his other stand alones?

                                I just finished The Eyre Affair! It was absolutely fantastic! I loved it so much, I immediately got on my Kindle and got the next book in the Thursday Next series Lost in a Good Book. I highly recommend these books-they are campy and hilarious!
