It's OCTOBER! What's everyone reading?
Troubled Waters: Sharon Shinn returns to writing dramatic, non-boring fantasy.
I Wake From A Dream Of A Drowned Star City: Somtow Sucharitkul cranks out the anthropological incest. But yeah, it's a good novella.
A Marked Man: Barbara Hambly's 2nd pseudonymous mystery (as Barbara Hamilton).
Game of Cages: will Harry Connolly's gritty urban fantasy sequel beat the first book?
The Iron Duke: like one of the amazon reviewers, I love the steampunk setting but haven't latched onto Meljean Brook's characters yet.
Blood Maidens: Barbara Hambly's 3rd vampire novel. I'm on the first page, but have high expectations.
WILL these books beat out the nonfiction? CAN they survive a deathmatch with The Future of Reputation, by Daniel Solove? SHOULD I read them or write the paper I owe from last year? Only time will tell . . .
Free bonus Ted Chiang novella:
The Lifecycle of Software Objects
