^ I tend to agree. Still rate it overall. Better ending than Dark Tower...

Saw this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/CyberStorm-eb...ref=zg_bs_25_12
$.99 for a sci-fi book, seems to have good reviews. |

I gave up after the fourth Dark Tower novel. The Stand, however, I loved and rate very highly. The ending is pretty stink but it still rules. My favourite part was definitely the various journeys. ---
His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. |

Just finished reading Justin Cronin - The Passage.
I am not much of a reader, but this book was brilliant! Took me about six weeks to read (Mainly weekends) but it was awesome. Longest book I've ever read I tell you that! ---

Finished Hugh Howey's Shift trilogy, which is excellent, and had a look at Riding Fourth by M H Mead. It's a short story available free from Amazon, though it's really a teaser for the novel Taking the Highway, which I ended up buying (for about $4).
Taking the Highway is a near future scifi cop thriller sort of thing that's either clever and insightful or cliched and occasionally good by accident. I can't decide which, but it is an enjoyable read. I think the fact that the protagonist is a ****ing idiot makes me unjustly think the same of the author... hard to say. |

Just finished "I, Zombie". Couldn't read it fast - that is some ****ed up shit.
Just started "Snuff" by Chuck Palahniuk - creeping me out in a different way ---

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.
Very funny. ---

Do you mind me asking where you got it? I've been on a Bourdain kick lately, was in Auckland last week and couldnt find it in any bookstores I went into. ---
like theme songs for night terrors punctuated by sexual debauchery and wanton sadness |

Taking the Highway was pretty decent.
Reading Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game now. Turns out I've read it before, but it's rather excellent. |

Reading Lightning Bug by Donald Harington at the moment, after picking up his "Nearly Complete Works" from Amazon recently. One of those authors who are acclaimed by other writers but not generally recognised by the general public.
I'm finding this first book I have read of his absolutely brilliant so far - one of those regional American works that sink you into a time and place so well. |
