WWW Wednesdays
WWW Wednesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!
To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
* What are you currently reading?
* What did you recently finish reading?
* What do you think you’ll read next?
My answers for this week:
I Am Currently Reading: TO OPEN THE SKY by Robert Silverberg. TOtS is long out-of-print, but you can find used copies on Amazon. A few years back I found four copies on the shelves at Powell's Books in Portland and gave them out to friends. This was the first actual science fiction novel not aimed at kids that I ever read, back in 5th or 6th grade, and I still own the same dog-eared, yellowing copy. I reread it every few years, and still love it.
I Recently Finished Reading: Scott Sigler's ANCESTOR. Sigler is the new master of gory, high adrenaline, thriller/sf/horror fiction. Ancestor posits a world where a private company is close to genetically engineering an animal from which organs can be harvested and transplanted into humans ... and of course things go horribly wrong.
I Think I'll Read Next: Either the new Gabriel Hunt adventure, HUNT AMONG THE KILLERS OF MEN, or Lev Grossman's THE MAGICIANS. I usually read the Hunt books as soon as they come out, and I'm a few weeks behind on doing that. But Grossman's book has been highly recommended by a few people, including new Twitter / blogger friend RoofBeamReader. So we'll see which jumps at me when I'm done with the Silverberg.
