The Glade 4.0

He's going to release all the shorts to date in a new all-in-one volume (along with some new material-either 3 new shorts or one novella) sometime late in 2010. And I'd remind all you completeists of the Welcome To The Jungle graphic novel, too.

Also looking forward to Butcher's next installment of the Codex Alera series, due out in 8 days or so...

Cereal boxes. And the print off some Jordan book that rubbed off on my sweetie's forehead when he fell asleep reading it. I think the cereal boxes are more interesting. than Jordan =P

Just finished, very good. Typical King book, loved it.

"On Combat" by LTC Dave Grossman. I'll be starting this once I finish the ones I mentioned above.

I picked up "Inside Straight", edited by George RR Martin, and it was a lot of fun. I had never read any of the Wild Card stuff, but I liked it. Good easy reading for the flight back to San Antonio.

I'm kind of ping-ponging among The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, and Duma Key by Stephen King.

Rousseau and the Revolution by Will and Ariel Durant. The tenth book in a series documenting the history of human civilization. Fantastic read.

Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson by Alan Pell Crawford

The Image by Danial Boostin. This book is enlightening beyond words, and an absolute must read.

Words from the Myths by Isacc Asimov. A brief and interesting read documenting the lineage of many the words we take for granted in our daily use today. I recommend this one sitting read to anyone who loves language.

Just started "Thus Spake Zarathustra" but it hasn't impressed me yet and I'm having doubts about whether or not I'll actually finish it.

Hmm...well, at least I finished one.

I put The Strain on hold until I can focus on it (most likely will pick it up again first after completing all of the available Dresden Files books).

Duma Key I set aside; it was interesting, but had other things to read instead at the time.

I managed to devour through books 5, 6, 7, and 8 of The Dresden Files in the span of about a week and a half (thank you, nook!). My new 360 Elite has me somewhat distracted, but I'm determined to jump back in after a brief respite and finish off White Night and books 10 - 12, hopefully with some haste.

Watching the Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray made me pick up my copy of The Fellowship of the Ring for another re-read. Fortunately I had just finished reading The Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, so my reading queue was empty..
