FAVOR!! When I review a book you've read and reviewed yourself, would you kindly provide a link to your review in the comments of mine? I love seeing what others think, and sometimes I see those reviews when they're originally posted, but don't read them as I don't want to spoil myself on something I know I'll read in the future. The problem, then, is I often forget to go back and read the reviews I missed! So please, if you've reviewed something I'm reviewing, shoot a link my way. :)

Currently Reading: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein AND The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
I should note that I'm taking my dear sweet time with the Rothfuss. Not because it's bad or boring. It's quite good. But the book is so big and so heavy that I can't make myself read it whenever I want, so I'm saving the book for weekends where I have nothing to do. :) You'll get a review, I promise! I'm just taking my time reading it, which is only fair, since Rothfuss took his time writing it. ;)
