The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn - similar to _The Far Side_ - some funny stuff. Early Reviewers from LibraryThing.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Pulitzer Prize and tons of other awards. Post-apocalyptic journey of a father and young son trying to reach the coast. I can see why everyone raved about it, but it didn't grab me or move me. Will still probably check out the movie though - Viggo Mortensen, mmmmmm.

Fortune and Fate by Sharon Shinn - really liked this. Haven't read any of Shinn's other work in this world, so was confused about some things, but found it very easy to get into and understand the background. Will definitely be looking for the previous books, plus anything else.

Wings of Wrath by C.S. Friedman - took me a bit to get into it - had to remember what had happened in the first book, but I got there :) Very complex plot, definitely need to read the first book, but worth it :) (A to Z author, Pub)

The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling - Cute, but meh.

all books - 100 books challenge

pub, 100 bks, a to z, comics, '09, science fiction, fantasy
