So far? Good. Altered Carbon was great, Broken Angels was pretty good, but Woken Furies brings back the cyberpunk rather than having it be just a convenient backdrop.

It's pretty awesome so far, but I haven't gotten all the way through it. Oh yeah, and a little hint, Quellism's REALLY big in this book *snicker*

I found my old Calvin and Hobbes books recently, so I've been reading through them every night. I loved this comic when I was kid, but when I read them now I realize how incredible and heartfelt they are.

1984 by George Orwell (never read it, believe it or not).

I just finished Phantom. I'm probably going to read the Otherland series next...or maybe The God Delusion...need to fit in some time for The Children of Hurin as well.

How is that? I've been thinking about picking it up.

I'm reading The Lost World (Michael Crichton) and Fragile Things (Neil Gaiman).

I've been trying to read Catch-22, but I just can't get into it, so I think I'm abandoning that book.

haven't legitimately read a new book in over 2, maybe 3 years (excluding textbooks and associated reading materials, of course). hmm, that's not good, is it?
