You know what I could really do with right now?
I would love to have a new and wonderful long SF or fantasy book (series of books would also be fine) that I've just discovered and could wallow in.
What I really want is to read something like Harry Potter, Alastair Reynolds's Revelation Space series, Robin Hobb's Assassin series or A Song of Ice and Fire - and not just reread it either, but discover it for the first time and immerse myself in something new and wonderful.
Trouble is, new writers and series like that don't come along every day - perhaps a couple a decade if you're lucky. So it looks like I'm going to have to wait, or find something less good but still acceptable to enjoy.
Or am I being unfair?
