Book Challenge Update
19. Dancing Barefoot: Five Short But True Stories - Wil Wheaton - 115 pages. Turns out that I hadn't actually read this book before. I had requested it at the same time as Just A Geek and had read about it on his blog, but hadn't read it. Good quick read, and finished it in a few hours.
20. The Burning City - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle - 486 pages. Really good read, interesting character development and I could really picture the world they created.
21. Burning Tower - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle - 430 pages. The sequel to The Burning City in which we follow the children of the main characters of the prior book, and continue in learning more about this marvelous fantasy world.
22. Sleepside: The Collected Fantasies - Greg Bear - 293 pages. A collection of the fantasy short stories of the author. Although his first published novels were fantasy, he has become more well known for his Sci-Fi, so this was a way to get back to his roots in writing. I enjoyed all the stories.
23. Freezeframes - Katherine Kerr - 285 pages. Interesting Sci-Fi novel which involves The Devil and an ancient deceased Rabbi following the lives of a woman and her female decendents. There are also fractured/multiple worlds involved in the later sections of this futuristic story. I enjoyed it, but the story and character development didn't really line up with the expectations from the dust jacket, and wasn't completely what I expected.
So moving right along:
23 / 50 books read and 9,858 / 15,000 pages read.
