A Secret History by Mary Gentle (violent and gruesome)
Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore (funny)

Judging from the names, the descriptions seem a bit backward, but I guess this is why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. ;)

I am currently reading nothing but my business textbook, and it isn't very fun :(

When Demons Walk, Patricia Briggs. It's quite enjoyable, though her novels are pretty short. I'm loving the big turn I've just come across. I'll probably check out some of her other books. :)

Just got into a book called The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.  It's his debut novel and acutally quite good so far.  Thats two for two for me with books endorsed by George R. R. Martin.  Last one was A Shadow in Summer, which was excellent.

In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker.  It's odd so far with immortal scientists saving lost species in the time of Bloody Mary.

So, Lies had a pretty weak ending in my opinon.  Decided to pick up a mystery novel:  James Patterson's 1st to Die.  Interesting, is about all I can say right now.  Murder mystery.  And I'm buring through the thing.  SHORT chapters.

I am now reading The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt. Finally, something that isn't a textbook :D

I am reading several mangas.  Hana Kimi, ZombiePowder, Ouran High Host Club, Tail of the Moon, and a bunch of the X-Men Graphic novels. I love the library.

Reading Stranger in a Strange Land for the first time.  Pretty good so far.  I also picked up Darwin's Black Box today, which was actually in the non-fiction section, but thought it sounded pretty interesting.

Got "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss in front of my face now.  He's a WotF winner from 2002, and this is his debut book.  Big.  And pretty good so far.

Really?  Didn't know that simple peons like myself could do such a thing.  Is there a list of  "book review do's and don'ts" somewhere on the site?"  Or should I just check out what's been done before and copy the format?  I'd love to blab my opinion.  :)  How do I submit it?  At this point I'm guessing that all this info is somewhere and I should probably just make my lazy fingers get off of their respective butts and click the mouse a time or two.  I'll look.  Thanks for the info.

Edit:  So, I just kicked my fingers into gear and found some guidelines.  Oddly enough, there's no specific guidelines for books... everything but, in fact, it seems.  :)  I'll check out previous reviews, but it might be nice to have a list of things to include in a book review listed on the general TWG submission guidelines page (probably as altered by Fell as he's the original poster).  I'll be sure to put one up for The Name of the Wind as soon as I'm finished.  Thanks for mentioning this.  Should be fun.  :)
