So, I was wandering around the internet yesterday and came across a review for KJ Parker's new novel The Company. And I'm all, NewNovel? I completely freaked out, called my local Borders, reserved a copy, and picked it up last night. Started reading. Ah, it's good to be back in a KJ Parker book. Can't wait to get further in. Having a difficult time not reading it while here at work. It's burning a hole in my head, sitting there on my desk just an arm's length away...
Started reading Heroes Die by Matthew Woodring Stover a few days ago. Got about 50 pages into it and decided that I didn't really like it. So, I bailed on it. Finished Matter by Iain Banks just before that. Amazing ideas, awesome writing, but little to no story. Frustrating, but I guess that's what I get for picking up a sci-fi book.
I also have An Autumn War by Daniel Abraham reserved at the library. Guess they're working on getting it into their system. Don't know what I'm going to do if that one comes available before I'm done with The Company though. Will probably have to let it sit. Have three weeks to keep it after all, and I doubt I'll be able to put The Company aside until it's over and done with.
Also picked up Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney and am reading it with my wife. Pretty funny so far. Mostly just chuckles, but still worth a laugh.
