Into The Looking Glass

More John Ringo fun. It's the start of a new series from a pretty darned good author. It's hard military sci-fi, but with some great geek in-jokes every so often. The story centers around the chaos caused by the accidental opening of wormholes/gates t… more »

The Orc King

After a long break I've started back in on some later works by one of my favorite fantasy authors, R. A. Salvatore. It's another installment in the Forgotten Realms based series he's been writing for over 20 years. There are a lot of changes going on,… more »

Changes

And now I'm completely caught up on all of Jim Butcher's books. What a ride on this one. It's the latest in the Dresden Files series, and did not disappoint. As usual, no spoilers, but it was well worth the time. I thought he telegraphed part of the… more »

First Lord's Fury

Thanks to being done with classes for the semester I've been able to make some progress on reducing the size of my to-be-read pile. It's still rather large, and will take the rest of the summer to work through, provided I don't add to it. But I wouldn'… more »

The Goodness Of Guinness

Here's a fun little read, and it was a good way to celebrate the end of the semester. The first part of the book goes over the history of the brewery, from its founding up to today. The rest of the book covers much of the life and corporate culture of… more »

The Hot Zone

Also known as the book you shouldn't start reading while you're hooked up to an apheresis machine while donating platelets. It's a pretty interesting narrative of outbreaks of the various hemorrhagic fever viruses like Ebola and Marburg. It was definit… more »

The Battle Of Devastation Reef

Man, I hate it when books end like this one. Total cliff-hanger. But that's ok, I'm slowly marching through my to-be-read pile and will be buying the next one when I'm back to zero. It's a good, fast read, with some interesting plot twists. I swear I… more »

Ambitious Brew: The Story Of American Beer

I started this one on the train ride back from Peoria and finally got through it thanks to a rough school and work schedule. I'm trying to set aside some time to do non-school reading at night to get my brain shut down so hopefully this is the start of… more »
