EDIT: actually - the reviews are horrific...maybe I won't...i'm so torn. Seeing things like "the fourth book in a trilogy" scares me.

Forget it - down with the haters. Gonna continue the series and move onto
Children of the Mind! This series is fantastic so far.

It may not be Card's best book, but it's worth reading.

Re-reading Jack Chalker's Well World series, just started book 3, Quest for the Well of Souls. Found a website that had them as ebooks, Baen Ebooks. They carry a lot of the old SciFi books that you can't find on Amazon.

It was pretty good! You could really tell that the love triangle angle was just to cater to the teenage girl demographic, it was actually a pretty violent series aimed at adults.

Baen is a pretty good company and ebook friendly!
I like a lot of their stuff!

Now that I'm done with school, it's time to read something enjoyable. I'm going to start The Civil War-A Narrative by Shelby Foote. I'll start with Fort Sumter to Perryville.

Just finished it up. While it was complex and confusing, it was still a great read.
There's several on my "to read" list. Not sure what I will tackle next.

I'm going to tackle
Old Man's War by John Scalzi. I seem to have a thing going for intergalactic warfare.

Starting
The Drop by Michael Connelly tonight.
On an aside, got one of my 9 yo olds to read
Down The Long Hills by Louis L'Amour.

After reading "Run" by Blake Crouch I have moved onto more of his works. Recently I finished "Snowbound" and then "Desert Places". Ten minutes ago I just finish "Locked Doors" and read the intro to "Break You".
Desert Places, Locked Doors and Break You are a trilogy.
Seriously I have never been a fan of horror and thriller genre but all I can say is wow. This guy is seriously twisted. Every time you think you know what's coming next - you're wrong.
For those interested in his works I really recommend reading "Run" first.
His website is:

This one was a quick read, but very good!
He states that he is very heavily influence by Robert Heinlein in the acknowledgement section. Gonna try to pick out one of his books and tackle it next
:-)
EDIT:
Starship Troopers seems to be the one that most people associate with Heinlein. Gonna start up on it.
This kindle is awesome. I've read more books in the last 4 months than I have read in the last 4 years.

There are many, many great Heinlein books. Too many to list but you can't go wrong with any of them.
